If you want traditional superhero without being overwhelming, Ultimate Marvel is an excellent place to start. Ultimate Spider-Man kicks off the whole thing, which presents the essence of the Marvel Universe without 50 years of back story. If he digs Spidey, then he can also start reading X-Men and the Ultimates (Ultimate Universe's Avengers), so there's plenty for him to explore.

Alternatively, something like Watchmen or Sandman might be a way to go, if you think he'd be more into the graphic novel format.
