"Promethea" I think is a good example too. Very much a story about the power of stories ( as well as gender issues and occult stuff) while being a sort analysis of the history of pulp novels and comics ( especially the first twelve issues).

Identity Crisis. Horrible idea.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
One of the worst was the last issues of the flash. They destroyed the Hero Hero ethic and the Barry Allen character in a long drawn out painful to read storyline that lasted over a year.
I can't believe that we haven't mentioned Alan Moore's version of Supreme as a good example. A tribute to silver age Superman while deconstructing the various ages of comics.
Also Warren Ellis's Supreme:Blue Rose is worth a look ( even though the last issue is a dud). It takes Moore's ideas and filters them though a Philip K Dick lens.
