I'll echo the praise for All-Star Superman, easily one of the best things I've read (comics or not) in years. Oh, if only all mainstream comics had this much imagination and wonder -- this is the perfect chaser after reading some of the grittier titles on your list.
Another Morrison/Quietly team up that is absolutely worth reading is WE3 -- it's Homeward Bound meets Watership Down meets Robocop. Household pets turned into cyborg soldiers, and its really heartbreaking. It'll take you 20 minutes to read, but the story really stuck with me.
