4 2001: Written and Directed Sogo Ishii Dragon-eye Morrison vs. Thunderbolt Buddha

5 As a Dragon Eye Morrison undergoes electroshock treatment for his aggressive behavior. The levels of sheer energy absorbed by his body over the years allow him to channel and conduct electricity. Now an adult, Morrison works in the city as a reptile investigator and has learned to channel his rage through the performance of aggressive guitar-based noise.

6 Meanwhile, Thunderbolt Buddha, a TV repair man turned vigilante, who has the same electro-conductive powers after a childhood accident, goes after crime bosses and gangsters. When both men learn of each other's existence, Thunderbolt Buddha challenges Morrison to a final showdown on the rooftops of Tokyo. --Wikipedia

52 At Any Given Time Comics will be in some state of Materialization and Dematerialization

53 But the Ghost of Comics, its metaphysical self, will always be present

54 The Geist or Ghost of the Comics is the possibly metaphysical spectre that manifests most clearly when the material of comics is dematerialized. It is made up of the particles of the event diffused into the environment.

55 The Material aspects of comics are always being challenged and mutated. Discourse within the field of comics should be as Inclusive as possible, incorporating and considering anything we might Metatag as Comics

56 We should continue to build on the tradition of audience reception and fan studies recognizing that Comics is a dynamically crowdsourceable term of Affinity

57 In making comics or when talking about comics, there should be present a spirit for the comics, a metaphysical expression of the Soul and Attitude of what we call comics, Discussing Comics is in some ways like discussing Jazz, a juxtaposition Seldes appreciated.

58 It is possible then to observe how much an event might express comicness irrespective of its material (or immaterial) form. How much any particular example exemplifies the spirit of the comics.
