Notes -
Seconding all of fishtwanger's recs.
Astro City is very much a comic fan's comic book, but it (and to a lesser extent, Common Grounds) are great not just by the low standards of superhero works, but more broadly as explorations of the human spirit. Nextwave takes things the other direction, and despite that is the only Warren Ellis work I can stand -- hilariously zany, completely shredding the ideas of superheroic human spirit, absolutely all the more enjoyable for it.
If you like Moore, Promethea isn't perfect in a lot of ways, but it's generally underappreciated work.
Ursula Vernon's Digger is a weirder work, but fun.
For Eastern works, Kino's Journey is better-known for its anime (good) and light novel (outstanding), but the manga iterations are still pretty strong.
