I agree. Fall of Metropolis (which primarily showed LexCorp vs. Cadmus issue after issue), Dead Again (each issue had Superman interrogate one of his adversaries to find out who's responsible, and it's revealed to be Brainiac even though he was eliminated as a suspect a few issues before), and Trial of Superman are good examples of this. I haven't read much Superman beyond this so I can't comment on the rest.

Titans Hunt and the repercussions from it seemed to be dragged out, too. Especially since it included the introduction of the Team Titans, and a War of the Gods crossover.

Another one I'm tempted to add is Swamp Thing's search for his replacement (in 1988). Each issue seemed to be about Swamp Thing finding a replacement, only to have the person end up surviving death, or being inappropriate for the role.
