Sorry, I ran out of time. I thought I had more time.
We went down this afternoon. I looked at the Ultimate series, but I couldn't find volume one of either Spiderman or X-Men, so I opted for something else. (I'm not even sure if the first volume was even necessary to enjoy the others, but whatever, there's always next time.)
I picked up X-Men and Spider-Man. It's nice hardcover with glossy pages, and it was on sale for $15. It includes X-Men/Spider-Man #1–4, plus X-Men #35 (1967).
I figured it would be interesting enough to have the two together in a storyline. I'll gauge his reactions to it after he reads it to see if it's something he's into for future options.
