If he's not a fan of superheroes then a book that, while being a deconstruction of superheroes, is also kind of more traditional might not be as good a bet as one that takes an even bigger dump on superhero conventions. You could actually read Watchmen as a superhero comic without even worrying too much about what it's saying, but not with Miracleman. It's too confrontational.
