There are some sound effect words, or onomatopoeias that just can't be used after something. Writers Bendis and Mack and/or letterer Joe Caramagna should know that (I'm sure someone as foulmouthed and internet-savvy as Bendis knows it) "fap" is used as a verb on the internet to refer to male masturbation. It's not a secret, and it's actually derived from the sound of the hand slapping the thigh, so it IS an SFX...
I have seen it before in a couple of books; but only once or twice... this double page spread is just... too much.
The hotel room exterior, the Jack and Matt Murdock murdock clippings, the nun picture (yeah, I know it's Matt's mom)... all that makes it even more disturbing. The last panel provides a clue, and the next page shows us it's just someone punching a sandbag:
Can we not use that SFX except for what it's intended?

Liberty To Move
Uuuh... I'm pretty sure the Statue Of Liberty is not on Ellis Island... But hey, you never know if Damage Control had to move after some superhero/villain battle on Liberty Island, right?

Can A-knee-body Help Me?
When you've been just injured by a supervillain, it's good to have a knee that will call 911 for you.

Storm Sings The Blues
"Out of the blue"? Yes, out of the blue color of the ginormous tsunami that was dropped on Wakanda by Storm's ally, the Phoenix-possesed insane Namor!!! The same tsunami that killed a lot of the population and destroyed a lot of the country's infrastucture? Yeah, out of the blue indeed.

If those cops belong to the Philadelphia Police Department, why are they raiding a house in Brooklyn?
Oh yeah, because the previous 20 pages had transcurred in Philly... okay?

Broken Tail
Holy crap, three posts in one month?!?!? Yeah, what can I say. This is something that sometimes happens to us letterers (well, it happens to me sometimes), but it's usualy caught at some point before the book is printed or otherwise published. To this letterer's (and editors, etc) credit, the lost balloon tail is white on stormtrooper armor, so it's not that easy to spot.
(From Star Wars: Purge - The Tyrant's First 2 of 2, letterer Michael Heisler.)
