There hasn't been any out of game materials you need to catch up on. No books or comics or anime series. You should be fine playing straight through. The only recommendation I'd offer is that you read through the 52 Books of Sorrow before starting The Taken King's raid. There's a great story about the Hive and Vex and the Traveler there that shows the vastness of Destiny's universe and frames the enormity of beating that raid far better than collecting your loot from the final chest does.
