Like anything, it'll just take getting USED to. You've got some good suggestions of books to go with. Have at! I know you've focused on superheroes for American comics, but I say you should try checking out some other genres of what US comics have to offer. It's actually not JUST superheroes! I myself am a huge Vertigo fan. Or check out some Oni Press, Dark Horse, Top Cow, Archaia etc. There is a style inspired by EVERYTHING (which is what actually drew me to European comics in the first place). A lot just gets drowned out by the big dogs DC and Marvel (which I love superheroes too so oh well!)
Some of the reasons for that storytelling is in the PROCESS. And there is also the difference between good comics and crap comics. Pick a character you want to focus on and find some works that perhaps follow the grid system more than some of the experimental layouts. As for art style, you'll find all sorts that don't necessarily follow the more Kirby-esque mold. Dustin Nguyen does some gorgeous superhero work you may enjoy?
Good luck OP!
And daaayuuum. Sorry about the tl;dr. Seriously. I could write a thesis on this crap. I know I rambled up there, but I hope that at least gives some background?
