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?
