In short, it is better to read the comics, it is fine if you don't read any of them. It won't affect your playthrought and your decisions from the previous games.

You can't say yes, and you can't say no as if it was that simple. There are some elements that you learn and that will be true in the game. Like for example Isabela's story or the appearance of some characters from the book Asunder. And there are elements that won't matter in the game no matter what happens in the comic. ( Allistair, king while in other playthroughts, he is a warden, for example )

I kind of wish they'd release a "canon playthrough" list, with all the relevant decisions for the books and comics. I know that seems silly, but I'd like to have a Warden/Hawke combo that actually matches the "canon" story.
I would actually like this also.
I'd play at least one game without any carry overs just to see it. Since I have more than one game with different choices, Alistair dead, Alistair married to queen, to my Warden, Hawk with verious outcomes, having one game with choices BioWare picks could be interesting.

I wouldnt say that Sten is a good guy or that the Qunari are bad guys.

If you made Alistair king, the events unfold exactly like it happens in the comic.
If you left Alistair as a warden, the events unfold almost exactly except Isabela is tagging along in exchange for sex instead of gold and they swim across the ocean instead of taking her boat.
If you made Alistair into an alcoholic, the events of the comic is Alistair in a drunken haze imagining events he'd do with people he met while drunk in The Hanged Man.
If you killed Alistair, the events are simply a what-if that's flashing infront of his eyes before the executioner cuts his head off.

I agree with Aolbain.
Sten: "When the Qunari come to Ferelden, I will not look for you on the battlfield."
Warden: "The Qunari will invade Ferelden?"
Sten: "It doesn't matter. Parshaara, Let us move on."
I'm not sure if that is excatly how the conversation went, but it is what I remember him saying. As Qunari and being an Arishok, Sten will follow the ways of the Qun. Not sure if that makes him "good" and I doubt I'll ever truly understand Qunari logic but I don't consiter them bad.

The added lore, new characters, and backround details are canon, the exact events however are not. This isn't complicated. If Bioware decides to make events in the comics relevant to the games than it will likely adjust some details to suit the state of the world you've picked. If Alistair is dead, for instance, they'd fit another character in his place.

Can Sten be the King of the Qunari? I thought Quanari can only be what they are. Sten can only be Sten

Qunari have no kings. They are governed by the Triumvirate (made up of the Arishok who leads the military, the Ariqun who leads the priesthood responsible for assigning roles to the Qunari, and the Arigena who is in charge of the merchants and labourers).
Qunari can be promoted and demoted ("One falls, and another one rises") by the Tamassrans if they feel an individual can perform more efficiently in a role different to the one they have currently been assigned.

Hence Sten becomnig the new Arishok. It's possible he was either next in line or his role in stopping the blight and his full report on Fereldan got him the position.King Cousland wrote...

I thought that this is what bann Teagan brought Alistair home for. The timelines would fit and Teagan/Eamon could Alistair with cash.

This how I worked it in to my play thoughs. Teagan brings Alistair back washes him down and then gives him a quest.
The only real issue is a dead Alistair, which do we ever see on screen death cause if not..............
