Runaways The Complete Collection Volume 1
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.
This can help.

It collects the first 18 issues which in itself is a complete story, and probably will be the first season of the show. The book was originally supposed to end there, but popularity brought it back.

After a while, the original writer left, and Joss Whedon took over. (He's kind of a step down in the book).
After that, the book gets kind of loose, bouncing from writer to writer til it unfortunately gets canceled.

Still, it's a great read, and the first Volume you should at least check out. The Secret Wars Run BTW has nothing to do with the Runaways Team though.
Super Hero comics look daunting and it can be intimidating getting into them, but often it's easiest to just jump in and you'll find your way. Most stories aren't as heavily continuity based to the point you can't appreciate them.
I just say this because starting with a character you already like is a big advantage. If you already like them and already know a bit about them the continuity isn't that big of a barrier.
but otherwise I'd say a great starting off point for any anime fan would be Marvel's the Runaways, which happens to be written by Brian K. Vaughan who also wrote Saga that /u/yumcake recommended.
It's simple teenager story that is only tangentially connected to the larger Marvel storyline makes it a good middle ground for anime fans to jump onto.
Found this, appears to be new edition: Runaways: The Complete Collection Volume 1 by Brian K. Vaughan et al. http://www.amazon.com/dp/0785185585/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_UaDutb16A84N5
Daredevil: The Man Without Fear
Runaways: Complete Collection Volume One
Hawkeye: My Life As A Weapon
If you have Marvel Unlimited I would check if they have the "Thor" comics by Jason Aaron, they are really good, I think you'll like them.
If you don't hate Batman (not necessarily like him, but you are ok with him haha), "the Black Mirror" by Scott Snyder is super good, it is probably my favorite Batman story and Batman is not even Bruce Wayne, it is Dick Grayson, the original Robin, it is damn good and that one IS dark haha
Not Marvel or DC but judging by what you have said you like (kinda dark, bad ass hero who goes through everything, etc...) I think you would really, reaaaally, like "Preacher" by Garth Ennis. In my opinion, Preacher is one of the best stories in any medium ever, big claim, I know, but that's how much I like it. It is collected in 6 Tradepaperbacks/Hardcovers (60 issues and some miniseries total) at about 10-15 usd each for the trades, so this will keep you entertained for a while.
This is the first volume
My favorite super hero series of all time is "Invincible" by Robert Kirkman, it is a bit more "traditional superhero" stuff but with some really cool twists if you want to check that one out.
I am not a fan of Deadpool alone but if you want something with both him and Wolverine, I think "Uncanny X-Force" by Rick Remender is top notch, definitely my favorite Deadpool, I think the trick is to have him in small doses. You can get the whole thing in two oversized TPB's, here is the first one there are only two volumes, just check that it is the "complete" collection. This one is a bit more "lore" heavy where it will reward you for knowing the backstory, but I think that even if you don't know anything it will be entertaining, However, don't be afraid to google some stuff after you finish or ask here to avoid spoilers.
Daredevil by Mark Waid is also pretty good, that might be on your Marvel Unlimited subscription.
OHHHH, I almost forgot, "Astonishing X-Men" by Josh Whedon is fantastic, again, if you have previous knowledge of the X-Men it is a plus but I think it is new reader friendly. This one is a must, in my opinion as well. There are two volumes of this one, here is the first one (maybe it is on Marvel Unlimited?)
The other X-Men stuff that always gets recommended is New X-Men by Grant Morrison but that one is heavier and harder to follow along, maybe if you really like Astonishing, give this one a try. (again, check Marvel Unlimited, it might be on there)
And finally, I promise, "Runaways" by Brian K. Vaughan, the gist of it is that a group of kids one day find out that their parents are super villains and they decide to ... run away. Again, this is a fantastic read, it takes place in the Marvel Universe, and I think there is going to be a Netflix show sometime...? haha But really, this is one of my favorite stories ever as well, there are 2 collections by Brian K Vaughan, don't bother reading the ones written by anyone else, volume one . (Marvel Unlimited?)
That's all for now haha
Let me know which ones pique your interest and if you decide to pick up any of these, you'll have a blast. Again, if you have any questions ask away!
PS. Moving Pictures > 2112 :P
Marvel is printing them in paperback form starting this August.

For anyone wanting to pick up the series. The first series is $10 off on Amazon right now. The series goes down in quality after that, but if you like the Runaways you'll still enjoy it.
OP appears to be a spambot. All their links go to Facebook posts that go to Amazon, presumably with an affiliate parameter.
