The inquiries about the atmosphere, character development, pacing, continuity, and format of Punk's comic writing must all take a backseat to the much bigger question:

Will he make Roman Reigns look strong?

"This is great, Phil! You've taken a mundane sport like pro wrestling and given it a dark, disturbing, even horrifying edge... great for our comic series. How'd you come up with it?"

"I didn't come up with anything, it's all true."
