Axecop//Atomicbomb .vs Surprised???
 

If a player plays atomic bomb the munchkin automatically defeats the monster and gains a level. But the surprised card states that the monster gets away. If the surprised card is played after the atomic bomb card does the monster get away or is it defeated?

Surprised! is not a valid play in this situation as there are no monsters present to surprise the combatants after you resolve the Atom Bomb That Only Explodes Bad Guys. MunchkinMan has ruled on this combination officially here. Using Wandering Monster so you can add a monster so that you can play Surprised! is also not a useful play in this situation as the Atom Bomb That Only Explodes Bad Guys would also explode that monster immediately before you had a chance to play Surprised!.
