It's a "relaunch" of a number of series, or essentially a starting over of a bunch of big name titles with brand new storylines, without too much need for vast knowledge on previous storylines and events. Obviously, you'll have to backtrack to the first issue of each series, but they're pretty good starting places.

Now, I would also recommend you check out any Point One issues you come across. Point one issues are special issues that give you a broad recap on the key points of a character's history up to the point that the point one issue was published. They're a couple years old, but they're a very good way to catch up on the highlight reel of a major character's history.
