I decided a little while ago that every story arc should include at least one "who would win" conversation, becuase they're one of the devices that I think works best. Ryan agreed, but suggested that whenever possible we try to work them into the storyline like with R. Lee Emery vs. The Hulk instead of just throwing them in there like Bruce Lee vs. The Goonies. "We" here means me, because I'm in charge of things like plot, and pacing whereas Ryan is in charge of jokes about funny hats.

Anyway, don't get me wrong, we have plenty of "normal" who would win comics already worked out, but the reason we did this one was to show that these kinds of conversations were pretty universal, not just limited to the main three. I also really liked the idea that Murphy wouldn't understand how they work.

I think the "punchline" of this one is rather weak, my favorite part is Murphy's Road Warrior reference in panel seven. If I could've ended it there, I totally would have.
