The New 52 is not nearly as newbie-friendly as it wants to be. Some characters have had their histories completely reworked, (Superman, Wonder Woman) while others haven't been adjusted as much. (Batfamily, Green Lantern) And DC itself keeps contradicting itself wrt what's canon and what isn't on a near-monthly basis...so yeah. >_>

There are some really good titles in the current DC lineup but as someone who was reading before and after the reboot I'm not sure what I'd recommend to someone new. Does your partner have any particular characters or teams they're interested in? It's generally easier to pick a character or title and find out the 'essential/quality' storylines than just leaping into current continuity and trying to figure out what you like and don't like.

Ack, that canon thing would drive me bugfuck. We both have issues of wanting things to be consistent, which I know doesn't happen from storyline to storyline, but within one ... *eyetwitch*

Lessee, I think most of his knowledge of comics characters have come from the various animated shows. I know he has said he especially likes the Avengers line-up and X-Men. Wonder Woman, he loves. In general he really wants to find more comics with non-stereotypical women protagonists, and knowing where to start there is especially difficult. (I understand Birds of Prey is good there, and the fairy tale based comic series (Fables?), but I'm not quite sure what else is good to start with that.)

TY! :)

For good female protags, check out Batgirl: Year One, Batgirl: Rising (and The Flood, Rising's sequel), and if he doesn't mind teenage characters, Runaways is very good.

All are very easy to jump into.

Also Marvel is getting a New 52-style reboot in the next few months, so that might be a good starting point.
