As people said before, it's much easier and accurate if we know what kind of movies, TV shows and video games he likes.

You could try with graphic novels. There's all sort of those, for all ages.

Remember: even Bart Simpson was fond of graphic novels.

Edit: Here are some examples:

Soccer Longshot: Sports

Attack on Titan: Epic hero in a fantasy dystopian world where there's a man-eating monster

Batman: Who doesn't love Batman?

Locke and Key: Thriller dark-fantasy where you have a house that does impossible things


Black Butler: Detectives story set in London, where the protagonist is a 12 year old boy! (Manga)


Watchmen: Super heroes doing super hero stuff.

Through the Woods: Horror stories!!

They're quite cheap, compared to paper books, and he can read them on his tablet, which can be more exciting for him.

[Batman (Court of Owls)](http://www.amazon.com/Batman-Vol-Court-Owls-ebook/dp/B008J2GAKU/ref=pd_sim_kstore_1 "hoot") and Detective Comics are both pretty boss.


I have some more lined up that I haven't read yet: Justice League, The Flash, Phantom Stranger, Action Comics.

Since it seems like you're mostly interested in DC characters I'd recommend checking out the current Rebirth Series. Now I'm only familiar with Batman and Flash, so I can't speak to the quality of the other series but I've enjoyed both of them so far.

Here's some links to the first volume of the Rebirth Series of all the characters (plus the Flash) you mentioned:

Aquaman

Batman

Green Arrow

Flash

Superman

As for the best place to buy comics I recommend Amazon and Barnes & Noble as they are generally pretty cheap and run good sales fairly often (especially Barnes & Noble).

Now for some of my personal recommendations:

Batman New 52 Vol. 1 Court of Owls, it's Batman at his best investigating an old Gotham conspiracy.

Hawkeye Vol. 1 My Life as a Weapon, it's about what Hawkeye does when he's not an Avenger. It has some really amazing art.

Hope this was helpful! Feel free to message me with any questions you might have!

The suggestions to read Marvel Unlimited and Hoopla are great suggestions, definitely follow up on them.

You mentioned comics available on Google Play. You'll find stuff there, but I think you'll find people here would recommend using the Comixology service instead. They are the biggest digital comics store, and you'll find what you are looking for 99% of the time. Comixology is owned by Amazon and uses your Amazon account and purchasing information to buy digital comics. The Comixology app on tablets and phones is great and very flexible, allowing you to read pretty much however you want. You can also read on a computer, but I don't know how many people do that. I get the sense you're reading on a tablet or phone if you're asking about Google Play.

However, my favorite thing about Comixology is the constant sales. They have multiple sales every week, and there are always sales linking up with the big movies coming out. There's a Spider-Man sale this week, for example. Even more exciting is that because Amazon owns Comixology, it links with the Kindle system Amazon has built over the years, and typically, trades are cheaper through Kindle than on Comixology. When you buy an issue or a trade through Kindle, it immediately syncs to Comixology, as if you'd bought it through them. So any Kindle sales on digital trades and issues can be treated as Comixology books. Sometimes, they even email out coupon codes to readers for even more fun.

There's always an SDCC sale on Comixology, and that'll be coming up soon, so I'd recommend keeping an eye out for that. It'll probably be a sale across the big three publishers, probably even more.

TLDR: Use Comixology, it's the best digital comics service with tons of great sales.

As for actual recommendations of comics to read... You mentioned Injustice, that's a good, fun series. It's easy to follow, so just start with Injustice: Gods Among Us Year 1, read through Year 5, then there's Injustice: Ground Zero, then it goes into Injustice 2, which is currently being published. The first volume of Injustice 2 should be coming in the next few months, but you can read each issue digitally for $.99 a piece, every week.

For Batman, Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's New 52 Batman series is a great place to start. It ran for 10 consecutive volumes, and it's a blast all the way. It starts with Vol 1, Court of Owls.

Since you didn't call for other characters, it's hard to make super solid recommendations. Here are a few authors and graphic novels to look for: Geoff Johns on Green Lantern, Grant Morrison on All-Star Superman (if you think you don't like Superman, you are basically legally required to read this one. It'll change your mind), The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller, Superman: Red Son by Mark Millar, Batman: The Long Halloween by Jeph Loeb... That's a lot to seek out. You can always ask for more targeted recommendations once you get into comics more. And this doesn't even count Marvel, which is a wonderful, rich history. Give some of those books a shot too.

There are a few volumes I was looking at. It seems like for some of them, the difference is just a dollar or so. But for some others, the difference is greater. For example:

Batman: Court of Owls: Kindle $7.99 vs Comixology $12.99
Batman: The Black Mirror: Kindle $9.12 vs Comixology $12.99
Batman and Robin: Batman Reborn: Kindle $8.27 vs Comixology $11.99

From what I hear, Comixology has the Guided View, and offers DRM-free downloads, right? I will usually be reading from either my desktop, a small laptop, or an iPad.

wait what is the fall of the house of wayne referring to?

this is what I was going off of btw for context:

I mean you probably know the general deal with Batman so you can start on any arc.
As someone who was never a big comic book reader but a huge fan of Batsy and superhero cartoons, I started with these.

The Killing Joke

Hush

New 52 which is the current running series and begins with The Court of Owls story arc.


I haven't read these other 2 yet although I am planning to but most people consider these classics that every Batfan should read.

The Dark Knight Returns

Batman: Year One

Oh, well it says Court of the Owls (New 52) on the amazon description :-)
