There is a Choose Your Own Adventure book/comic called Meanwhile that blew my mind as a kid with a similar concept. If you chose to eat chocolate ice cream (the first choice), eventually you met a professor who built a machine to guarantee a coin flip will come up heads. He rigged a machine to destroy the universe if the coin is tails, so existing after pushing the button means your coin must necessarily have landed on heads. The book gets even trippier after that, but that’s what stuck with me the longest. It’s a pretty solid read in the YA section, and a basic but solid introduction to quantum mechanics.
Wait hold up there's an official graphic novel with a Dipcifica storyline?! I'm looking through amazon and there's a couple of comics, is this the one you're thinking of?

Yeah you can preorder it right now on amazon or on barnesandnoble
Meanwhile (2010, Jason Shiga)
Shiga is an interesting dude. Some of his other works (FLEEP, Demon) are better known because they’ve been available online. That’s unlikely to happen with Meanwhile, and I think it would lose the charm if it did. This book is the ultimate choose-your-own adventure comic. Starting with which flavor of ice cream to get, you might choose your way into time travel, doomsday bombs, and moral quandaries. There are literally thousands of possibilities in these intricately designed (yet crudely drawn) pages. What I like best is that there’s a plot element which makes the choosing mechanic perfectly justified.
I adore everything Shiga has ever done and treasure my copy of Meanwhile.
That said I just wanted to jump in and warn anyone squeamish that you aren't kidding, DEMON is REALLY dark and does not shy away from extremes. I recommend it for people like me who gobble down dark stuff if it's the right flavor (e.g., I binge every season of Black Mirror as soon as it comes out.)
Did you know Amazon will donate a portion of every purchase if you shop by going to smile.amazon.com instead? Over $50,000,000 has been raised for charity - all you need to do is change the URL!

The product page for this book on Amazon has a bizarre video that centers around a fake product called talk-and-tug Schmebulock, which is what Alex is holding. It's worth the watch if you have a couple minutes.
Edit: scroll to the third image on the product page to see the video.
My cousin's 8-year-old son was reading a graphic novel by Dan Pilkey called Dog Man the last time they visited. I read through it and was impressed because it was written and drawn as if a 4th grader had made it, and it had some how-to-draw materials in the back. It's basically a "You can make a story like this, too!" kind of book. Here's a link to the Amazon listing: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0545581605/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Y.RNzb3DS1BVY
I miss it. They have a pretty good looking comic book of Lost Stories at B&N/Amazon/hopefully my local library soon... https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/1368021425/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Hellblazer? No, that's squarely a comic for adults.
But there is a kids comic starring John Constantine (the main character of Hellblazer). Your kid might be interested in that
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mystery-Meanest-Teacher-North-Ryan/dp/1779501234
DC has absolutely fucking wrecked Constantine. They've removed all his sharp edges, everything that defined that character. It's honestly beyond parody at this point.
A few different ways both hard copy and digital. Here is the Amazon link https://www.amazon.com/Gravity-Falls-Legends-All-New-Adventures/dp/1368021425/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1549148698&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=Gravity+falls+comic&dpPl=1&dpID=413AYa16BlL&ref=plSrch But you can find it most anywhere current production books are found
Sorry I didn’t spot those before - missed Absolute TM because of the glare, the others I just wasn’t looking hard enough. Do I see you only have Vol 1 of Animal Man? 2 and 3 are also good, they complete the Morrison run and the way he signed off is very worth reading.
Your tastes seem pretty wide, so (assuming I’m just not overlooking it), check out Jason Shiga’s stuff. Deceptively simple art, mind-frack stories. Start with Meanwhile...
Nice! I love how high quality it is. Check out the graphic novel if you haven't already too. It was written by Hirsch and is hilarious with lots of easter eggs from the show.
The concept is certainly interesting, especially the gamification. That aspect might be enough to set it apart from Jason Shiga's Meanwhile: Pick Any Path. 3,856 Story Possibilities. which, for my money, is the gold standard for this type of book.
I also notice that these are translations from the French, which is a good sign. Has anyone read the originals? Do you have any insight into how well they work in practice?

FFFFFFFFYEAH I DON'T CARE WHAT IT IS I'M PREORDERING. IT COULD BE A BOOK ABOUT THE GNOMES I DON'T CARE.
Is it Meanwhile? https://www.amazon.com/Meanwhile-Path-Possibilities-Graphic-Novels/dp/0810984237/ref=pd_bxgy_14_img_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=DJ2B2663404C0ZXWN7FE
There is also a huge catalog of Choose your own Adventure books, and there is also Goosebumps.
I realize the hardcovers themselves are quite small compared to the paperbacks, but I've read a couple of them before from a library and didn't have any issue like some reviewers have had.
Yep, I remember reading those! This is the set I'm talking about: https://www.amazon.com/Adventures-Tintin-Collectors-Gift-Set/dp/0316006688/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468812340&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=tintin+slipcase+set
http://www.amazon.com/Meanwhile-Path-Possibilities-Graphic-Novels/dp/0810984237
this is a funny choose-your-own-adventure comic. sometimes the reader can end up "losing" and the reader's ability to naturally restart their adventure in the comic is justified as destroying parallel universes, and switching to extant universes.
i think a version of it can be found online.
Ruskin, I highly recommend you check out Jason Shiga's Meanwhile: http://www.amazon.com/Meanwhile-Pick-Path-Story-Possibilities/dp/0810984237/ It's a choose-your-own-adventure comic book that features time travel. :)
have them all --read them all through childhood which may have lead to my unfortunate 'knickers and trenchcoat' phase. Available in 3 volume sets via Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Adventures-Tintin-Collectors-Gift-Set/dp/0316006688/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1267913793&sr=8-1
