Suspension of Disbelief

Comic stories are fantastic tales, and require a lot of suspension of disbelief. You have to believe a man will fly for a bit. However, everyone has some thing or things that sets them off and breaks there SoD.

As a born and raised Bronx boy, I had one of those moments with the fourth issue of the fantastic new Daredevil run (and if you are not reading this, you hate freedom).

With respect to Mark Waid, the Bronx Zoo hasn’t had their big cats in cages since I was a wee young’n. I have vague recollections of seeing the Big Cat House’s cages filled with wonderful creatures, but they’ve long since shifted to open habitats. This is, of course, what the art shows.

Amazing how one tiny caption can make me go “But… wait” but the concept of a blind ninja lawyer with radar powers is totally okay.

Evidence: Amazing Spider-Man volume 1, issue #43.

The Rhino is lose in NY. His attorneys, Nelson and Murdock (don’t ask me how he afforded them), are lamenting the fact that he’s escaped, ruining their case.

“Sure, countless lives could be lost and he’ll more than likely cause millions in property damage, but what can I do? Web-head called ‘dibs’ on him.”
