Wow, most of these stories make sense when you read them over a few issues, but when you condense them into a paragraph, the plots are mind-boggling.
I saw a website that summarized years of soap operas like DAYS OF OUR LIVES into single paragraphs. One woman was blinded (but got better), discovered she had a unknown twin who showed up to cause trouble, survived a plane crash and was declared dead while she sat in a cabin with a broken leg, lost her memory, had a child stolen and another infant substituted.. it went on and on. I thought, hey, this is like comics.
