kamino_nekoHallowe'en's just around the corner, so it's time for some horror, innit?
So, to this end, I'll be posting a few stories from a short Junji Ito anthology called Mimi no Kaidan, or Mimi's Ghost Stories. ( Read on...if you dare! Mwahahahaaa! *cough* Sorry. )
10 pages out of 30.

omgwtflolbbqbyeI'm looking to add Cassandra Cain's initial run as Batgirl to my library. However, a trip to my local comic vendor revealed to me that the TPBs for that run have been out of print for a while and are hard to find.
I've managed to find vendors to get most of the collection for a bit over the normal retail price, however my only option for obtaining "Silent Running", the 1st volume of the collection, is at least $30 through Amazon. Also, reading some of the reviews, it seems that the TPB collection are still sort of incomplete and missing a few odd issues here and there.
I was wondering if I should just pull the trigger on these purchases, or if it would be reasonable to expect DC to reprint Cassandra's Batgirl run in the near future, given that she's making a comeback into the current bat-titles?
On a slightly related note, has the "Batman: Gotham Knights" series ever been collected in TPB form? I really loved those stories, but I don't want to have to buy all of them in single issue form.
Thanks in advance. For legality I present her first reunion with her father from the pages of Batman #567, written by Kelley Punkett, with art by Damion Scott, John Floyd, and Greg Wright (7 of 22 pages):

thanekosOnce upon a time, Tony Stark had only a suit of armor (and some golf clubs) to his name.
Left wandering the streets of Los Angeles thanks to Obadiah Stane's corporate acumen, he met a brilliant but unmedicated man.
He then saved that man from a racist Hangman, rollerskated through a freeway traffic jam, and got himself kinetically drained into a Yinsen hallucination by some well-equipped but shabbily dressed thugs.
( And after all that, he's still alive. But the Pride, LA's own supervillains, intend to change that in Iron Man Legacy #7. )
