Is Planet Hulk/World War Hulk worth reading for somebody who doesn't follow the series? I really like the concept of Hulk-as-Conan, but I'm always a bit anxious about diving into Big Two stuff because I'm inevitably unfamiliar with the back-story.
Almost all of the characters in Planet Hulk are new and the whole thing is generally separate from the rest of the comicverse. So that's pretty safe. World War Hulk, however, does have a whole bunch of preexisting characters.
