I'm sure there's references and meaning I missed, having read neither the novel, nor the first volume of this series - I will most likely correct that gap in my experience.
Even without the background, I found the stories meaningful as well as entertaining. The writers and artists bring remarkable depth to the characters and their stories. Several of the stories ended with wordless final panels that exploded into my consciousness. I am very, very likely to read this again.
On a total squealing fan girl note: I seem to be developing a crush on Big Al, and I would not cry if I had a poster of the final page of his story.
