I have yet to read them myself, but I've heard great things about the series Amulet. It's on my list for when my daughter is old enough.
On mobile, apologies for the format:
The Stonekeeper (Amulet, Book 1) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0439846811/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_xwTAub164F6SX
For your nephew, Marvel Adventures: Spider-Man is a brilliant All-Ages Spidey title (and the relationship between him and Chat is my favourite coupling in all of comics). You should be able to pick up some trades (I'd recommend towards the end of volume one or anything from this volume - I haven't read that much of Vol 1 so I don't know how good the first 50 were). Also, it introduces a lot of characters so he could pick which ones he likes from there - the last few issues have included team-ups with the like of the Silver Surfer and Doctor Strange, so it could help him become accustomed to the Marvel Universe in a child-friendly, easy-to-follow way.
Vol. 2 Book 1 & 2
Vol. 1 Book 3 - Doom with a view - I haven't actually read these specific issues but on the other hand I can't see how you could be any prouder a father than you would be if your son turned out to like DOOM!
Vol. 1 Book 13 & 14 - these are about where I started reading from and they're pretty great.
For your niece, Amulet is a beautiful fantasy book written and drawn by Kazu Kibuishi - it stars a young brother and sister, with the girl being the one who actually learns to use this magical amulet, so having child protagonists and a female lead would probably help her like it. Also, the supporting characters are often cute and always fantastical, and there is even a walking house later on to appeal to her apparent like of Ghibli films. There are a few splashes here, but I can't remember whether they're all from the first book or some are from the second. The main art style is more towards what's shown in the bottom right, and I'm pretty sure that the house doesn't turn up until the end so if she's not expecting it it should be a nice surprise - I remember when I first read it turning the page to see the house stand up and start walking was amazing, even having seen films such as Howl's Moving Castle, as it combines the exciting with the unexpected and the beautiful all at once. I'd definitely recommend this.
My 7-year-old son has all of Bone and Adventure Time TPB and loves them. Here's one he might like: Amulet. Oh, and the creator of Adventure Time just put something out called "Bravest Warriors"
8 Y/O/G I would go with Amulet. It's on book 4 right now and the protagonist is a girl with great magical powers that stem through her amulet. http://www.amazon.com/Stonekeeper-Amulet-Book-1/dp/0439846811/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1323786581&sr=1-1
6 Y/O/B If he's already in love with spider man I would just stick with that. Sider-Man has an all ages title called "Spider-Man Marvel Adventures" it's a few issues in but it probably won't matter to him and it's a monthly title so it'd be easier for you to get him "Hooked" and start expanding. http://marvelkids.marvel.com/
a series they would both like is "Salt Water Taffy" it's silly and fun about two boys on vacation at their cottage and meeting strange people and talking animals. It's fun and kids at my shop really like it.
