VERSUS
Starting at Cal State Los Angeles' Eagle-Con, Hannibal has hosted a series of panels where two people (most often comics historian and actual trial attorney James Thompson, Esquire and comedian/Comics On Comics host Vito Lapiccola, but with Total Recall comic book writer Vince Moore tagging in here and there) sit down and argue, as lawyers would in a court case, whether one character (or one set of characters) would beat another in a "Thunderdome" styled fight (enclosed area, no prep time, brought in at the height of their combat abilities and aimed at an opponent). Hannibal presides over the entire affair like a judge (complete with a copy of Mjolnir as a gavel), entertaining objections and calling time on rebuttals, opening and closing statements.
