Venturing away from Grant's stuff, Dave Sim's Cerebus is an excellent example of a metafictional narrative. You have to be able to make the separation between "Dave Sim the excellent writer" and "Dave Sim the flaming asshole" in your head to enjoy them, though.
And then, venturing away from comics in general, Kurt Vonnegut's "Breakfast of Champions" is an interesting metafictional narrative... although I haven't seen the movie version, starring Bruce Willis. I suspect it doesn't translate well.
Yeah... I suppose hypersigils are better discussed
