It can sometimes kinda work that way with American comics...
For Deadpool, you can start with the Deadpool Classic books. There are four volumes, with a fifth one coming out soon. It does get a little confusing after that, though. I don't think the Classic books have collected the entirety of the first Deadpool series, which led into Agent X, which I'm not sure has been collected in trade paperbacks either. That then lead into Cable & Deadpool, of which there are three volumes. And then after that you have the current Deadpool series. There are trade paperbacks of those, but the numbering starts at volume 1... which can be really confusing if you want to start at the "real" beginning. Then there's the various mini-series titles which I won't even go into for fear of rage.
TL;DR: Start with the Deadpool Classic books, not plain ol' Deadpool.
Now, with Spider-Man, you have a few options:
You can just get into Ultimate Spider-Man, which is the "updated" or "modernized" version of Spider-Man that started in 2000. Very good stories, and reading them is relatively straightforward as far as Marvel goes. Start at volume 1 and move forward rationally from there for 22 volumes. Then the stupid starts with Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man volume 1, which is basically Ultimate Spider-Man volume 23.
The other options are the Essentials books, which collect the "old school" Spider-Man titles, dating back to the 60s, in big, black-and-white volumes. There are a few titles: Amazing Spider-Man, Spectacular Spider-Man, and Web of Spider-Man which I think will have an Essentials volume coming out later this year. There's also an adjective-less Spider-Man title from 1990 (91?) but I don't know if it's been given the Essentials treatment at all.
Or you could buy this thing and read until you fall over.

My kids just watched Star Wars for the first time yesterday and they loved it. My girl loves princesses and wants to know where the princess is all the time even when she isn't on camera. After the movie was done she drew space princesses and told me she wants to be a space princess when she grows up. Fatherhood won!
