Richard has won.

Gotta be honest, I read over the Looking for Group Comics and Richard just doesn't have the same sort of soul as BM. Sure, 8Bit has had more time for character development, but BM does not exist simply to indiscriminately kill everything.

BM also has notable character flaws, whereas Richard's portrayal thus far contains no actual weaknesses. Shamans stop his magic? kills them with physical combat. To be sure, this is like BM's stabbity death scenes, but BM does all of those under cover of darkness.

As far as evil, again we have the number of comics thing, but even still BM's atrocities are generally more evil, but BM also moderates his evil. He does not need to be killing something in every single comic. Even his snark is topical depending on the stupidity of the other light warriors.

Basically what it boils down to is Richard is little more than a device for indiscriminate derision and destruction. You could literally replace him with a recurring wrecking ball on whatever he's killing and you get the same effect. Brian might laugh about the one-dimensionality of his characters, but Richard is almost no-dimensional.
