I found episode 6 'Tree Trunks' of the show 'Adventure Time' to be rather like a metaphor for ego death/enlightenment. I've also encountered ego death themes in Spiderman Comics. It was a short series called FEVER, 3 issues I think. I'm not really a Spidey fan. A friend just had them and they piqued my interest, as the spider things kinda of resemble Tibetan death gods.

Anyways you can watch the episode here, The relevant par begins at 11:26. :roll:

Anyone know of any others?

I find them useful for illustrating the concept of ego death.
 
I never thought of the show as relevant to ego death, but now that you point it out, the end part where they are fighting crystal copies of themselves for a bite of the apple definitely can function as a metaphor for ego-death. :) I really love Adventure Time so I had to reply.
