Bonus Section:  2005 Reprint Commentary from Wyatt Ferguson!  Jill Stern 
vs. Powernauts

That scene in the first panel is really exciting, if you know the 
background.  Jill Stern vs. *any* Powernaut is not a foregone 
conclusion.  She's got brick-crushing strength plus the best samurai 
training one can get.  And her sword is not trivial.  Later in this 
strip, one might notice it starting to *slice through the Powernaut's 
force fields*.

I've asked Jill if she remembers this fight.  She says, she doesn't. 
But it seems accurate enough.  And Jill could have won, if she worked 
for some Army which beheaded its opponents before they actually started 
fighting.
