There's definitely comics out there for kids between 10 and 12. Here's some books I recommend:
I would not recommend any of the comics under the New 52 banner, they are mostly focused towards older teens and adults. Look for comics that advertise themselves as "All Ages", those are going to be the best for your age group.
Marvel comics:

EDIT: removed IDW's Transformers
Not strictly speaking novels, but try Mouseguard by David Petersen.
How about graphic novels? You say fantasy and Mouse Guard comes to mind. The Lunch Lady series is silly and also quite popular with second graders. Comics are a good way to ease reluctant readers into reading.
And as a librarian who sees this kind of thing all the time, I would advise you to not completely dismiss the Star Wars and Transformers books. If those are the books that get him reading, why fight it? Him wanting to read is the important thing. If he reads these books, then his reading abilities are improving. And more importantly, he's enjoying the act of reading. Higher reading levels will follow, and they will eventually exhaust the branded crap and move onto other things.
sorry for the rant..
D&D really boils down to roll a d20 and add or subtract a modifier, they should be able to understand it fairly easily. And just run a straight forward dungeon crawl adventure like Sunless Citadel from the Tales From the Yawning Portal book.
D&D also just put out young adventurers books. And a series of choose your own adventure books.
Hero Kids is also a good option and has tons of free pdf stuff available. And then there is also Mouse Guard which uses a version of the Burning Wheel system. Mouse Guard has several cool graphic novels good for kids those ages.
Finally, the Fantasy Flight Star Wars games would be very good for kids. Kids know Star Wars so they don't have to learn the setting and can dive right in. The Edge of the Empire starter set has everything you need and a really good intro adventure.
Takio is another good comic book. It starts with that graphic novel and there is an ongoing comic book series that is always seriously delayed and awaying issue 4. It is excellent. About two sisters who acquire superpowers.
Mouse Guard is also supposed to be quick good, but I haven't read it.
Mouse Guard is a Fantastic book series that fits that pretty well.
