For those who haven't heard of this and are wondering what the hell OP means by Amalgam Comics: firstly, stop making me feel old, and secondly, here's a quick primer ;)
>Amalgam Comics was a publishing imprint shared by DC Comics and Marvel Comics, in which the two comic book publishers merged their characters into new ones (e.g., DC Comics' Batman and Marvel Comics' Wolverine became the Amalgam character Dark Claw). These characters first appeared in a series of twelve comic books which were published in 1996, between the third and fourth issues of the DC vs. Marvel miniseries. A second set of twelve comic books followed one year later.
So for the question, this is a good list of what you'll find in both waves of the Amalgam Comics. I couldn't find them digitally through Comixology or on Kindle, sadly, so your best bet is probably buying the physical trade collections if you're super keen.
You might be able to find these cheaper elsewhere but I've linked to the Amazon listings so it's clear. There are four of them, with DC publishing half of each run and Marvel the other half:
1996 Series
1997 Series
If this stuff interests you you might also want to checkout the DC vs. Marvel series which preceded it and created the Amalgam Universe. It was a four issue run and it was also collected in a trade paperback, although it's worth noting there are two versions:
>The series was collected into a trade paperback titled DC versus Marvel Comics (collects mini-series and Doctor Strangefate #1; 163 pages; September 1996; ISBN 1-56389-294-4). Two versions of this paperback exist with one edition having DC winning three of the five fan voted battles and another version of the trade paperback with Marvel winning three of the fan voted battles. In both editions only Superboy and Lobo lose their respective bouts.

The series references lots of stuff and so the more you know about the more obscure characters of that time the better (like, it's cool if you know who The Question is before he starts harassing Renee Montoya) but it also does a really good job getting you up to speed on all that so I'd say the only prerequisite would be reading Infinite Crisis so you understand the world.
Actually, for all the stuff with Ralph Dibny it might also be a good idea to Identity Crisis too which I recommend anyway as I'm a big fan of it anyway. :) Others might want to chime in if there are threads I'm forgetting that are set up elsewhere - I read way too much so sometimes remember where it's all from is hard :P
