This may be asking too much, but how does a neophyte dive into the world of Marvel and/or DC comics?

My 13 yo son is curious about comics but he hasn't really read any before. I'm a casual comics fan but lean much more towards graphic novels; superheroes generally aren't my bag (I do like me some Batman tho...) I guess this is as much for me as for my son!

But how do I even get the boy started with Marvel and/or DC? It's an absolute mountain of complicated, even contradictory, storylines going back, what? 60 years now? I suppose there is more than one good entry point, so I suppose if I could pointed towards a few of those I could let him know some good places to begin.

Another question, that may narrow things down: are there whole swaths of comics, years' worth even, that I can just skip over? I'm thinking of the genuinely old one from the 60s and 70s. Basically a good start point that can inform the current comics universe as reflected in the movies.
