I'd say Dark Empire. http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Empire-Trilogy-Horse/dp/1595826122/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381873710&sr=8-1&keywords=dark+empire
Not sure if your friend has read any of the expanded universe books, but the Thrawn Trilogy is a must for any hardcore Star Wars fan. I know you asked for comics, but I enjoy it so much I had to mention it. You may be able to save some cash buying the books separate, but I'll post a link to the hardcover: http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-The-Thrawn-Trilogy/dp/1595824170/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1381873710&sr=8-6&keywords=dark+empire
Well it looks like you've come to the right place! Allow me to copy/paste from some of my other comments and add some additional titles. I pray you forgive me, as I'm not currently in proximity to the majority of my collection.
Star Wars: In the Shadow of Yavin: Although it takes place in the immediate aftermath of A New Hope, volume one contains several Vader-centric stories. Credit to /u/dorkofnight. Amazon.
This thread contains some other suggestions, several of which I have not read and, therefore, can't recommend.
EDIT: Formatting. Adding suggestions made to me by others.
Haha, Kyle Katarn was one of my first introductions into the Star Wars EU too.
I noticed your interest in the Legacy comics (which are awesome and don't require much knoweldge of the EU), if you're more into comics than the novels, the Thrawn Trilogy was adapted into a pretty nice comic series. It's a cool introduction to the post Return of the Jedi era.

One of the best stories to be set after the events of the original trilogy involve Grand Admiral Thrawn.
They come in novels or in comics (the version I prefer).
Just because the emperor is dead doesn't mean the empire falls apart. Now generals are taking control of individual systems as the rebels continue to fight. Thrawn is a master lactation, adept even at fighting lost sith lords... and Luke has to face off against the Emperor's personal task-master.
the "x-wing" series is pretty good (LOTS of books), and doesnt require any reading to understand, just the movies, and maybe you should know what a tie fighter/interceptor/bomber is, but for that theres wookiepedia. it goes on through most of the starwars post endor timeline, so you might wanna look up which book plays when, but the first 4 in the series should form a complete set.

the "thrawn trilogy" is good imo, and i think it plays at least after the first three/four "x-wing" books.

my favorite (if youve read the others) is the "hand of thrawn" dualogy.

but its a matter of taste.
if youre interested, ill look through my old collection, and see if i find anything worth reading besides those.
