Doom Patrol's pretty great, but for someone looking to dip their toes into comics I would suggest Ultimate Spider-Man. When the first X-Men and Spider-Man movies came out Marvel wanted to create an alternate universe to reimagine their comics without all of the decades of continuity so that people who'd never read a comic in their life could read something that had the core Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Avengers, whatever, but not be turned off by having to know a whole bunch of history.
Ultimate Spider-Man is a very modern retelling of everything important to the character so that you can start at the beginning but is also fresh and interesting but most of all it has an immense amount of heart and love poured into it. It's really the most perfect way for someone to get into comics.
