For the Cass Batgirl stuff, is there a good arc to recommend to someone with no real experience with her? Or is this one of those "read everything" deals?

All of them are well-regarded. The best deals are probably the ~$15 volumes of Batman Eternal (assuming you're talking about the physical copies). They normally go around $22 on Amazon and IST. List price on them is $40, too, so... Hush for ~$11 is a great price too. Have never seen it that cheap.

Yeah, it's a shame I missed hush and long halloween. I'll get the two eternal then. Is the Arkham Asylum by Morrison considered good?
I"m really tempted on the comixology sale for the rest but them killing off the app makes me not want to touch them... Has anyone use the kindle app for desktops? It seems like they're price matching most of them.
You're learning from the best
Try some of the first couple of issues. I remember liking the series when it first came out.

Totally happened to me

Does anyone know why death of the family is like the only thing on sale when it's the third book?
Also, why are there no single issues of no man's land? Want to read that again

They want you to buy Death of the Family and roll into the just released in hardcover Endgame.

Death of the Family is the big lead-in to Endgame, which was just released in collected format. And also has nothing to do with the previous two books of Court of Owls story. That would be my guess.
Arkham Asylum has the most mixed opinions because its the most abstract. Doesn't really have a tight story and dialog. A part of me would like to get it but I am a little hesitant.

Ah, gotcha. I've only had a chance to read the first two books and took a break because of the nonsense they were doing with batman's ancestors.
Are Grayson and Batgirl on comixology worth a shot? Those are the final ones I'm considering. I got gotham academy without knowing anything since it was $5, so hopefully it's not bad.
I wound up pulling the trigger since it was expiring. I generally like Morrison so I figured I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
Also, I think I've finally gotten over my desire for hardcover and will buy nothing but trade paperbacks barring something that has a crazy hardcover version I enjoy like the absolute sandman books. So glad to finally be over buying issues and hardcover versions.
I bought those three on the comixology sale today, too. Have heard great things about Grayson and Gotham Academy and just kind of went out on a limb with Batgirl of Burnside. But, I mean, only $4, so it was hard to say no.

Grayson's really fun.

Grayson, definitely. Batgirl is hit-or-miss, but the Babs Tarr art is fantastic. I would give it a try, at the least.
Zaraki_Kenpachi

Yup, and with the prices of individual issues I'm willing to try these for one issues essentially as long as no one says steer clear.
Also, I finally finished the magneto run. I thoroughly enjoyed it, I'm sad to see it go.
Buy all of them

We don't all have that Messi money
But I don't think I'm passing on anything but earth one, nightwing, andjsutice league besides weird stuff like batman '66 which doesn't seem up my alley. The rest I'd rather have in physical form. I want batman and robin but partly bitter on how few issues they bundle.

Grayson is great. One of DC's best ongoings.

OK, I'm going to do it. I'm going to read everything that modern Valiant has put out/is putting out. Of course, at this point it basically means all I'm doing different from what was happening naturally is reading all of Shadowman.
I laughed and winced at the same time.

Is that one where I need the rest of the arc? And I'm tempted not to buy anything since I can only view it on my phone. Need to look into kindle.

Poor Messi.
now that's just cruel lol
Yeah, tablets are definitely nice for digital comics. I think vol 1 is fine by itself, it's just another Batman starting out story but with Gary Frank art and it is a mostly good read. It's not essential reading but it's worth the $4.

I have one with my surface which was part of the reason of me purchasing it but stupid comixology is actually removing their windows 8 app from the store so I can't read my comics soon enough. They hate taking my money apparently so now I need to find another platform to purchase things on which is annoying.
There's no web reader for them right? Just literally the ios and android apps?

Oh fuck that hurt
I didn't mean it that way, but it was both true and mildly amusing.
Hope you find something new soon, brah.
