I think Marchon brand Ramen instructs you to microwave the water as the first option. You have to fold the flap to see option two where they instruct you to boil the water like a savage.

I used to microwave water to get it just sort of hot enough in order to swab piercings and stuff.

As a kid, I used to microwave water for instant oatmeal. But I was a weird kid.

I'm finally getting around to reading the Nocenti run on Daredevil and god drat is it brutal. The Fall of the Mutants tie-in is especially cynical; oh, hey, that young kid Daredevil was helping improve his life helps kill a patient at a hospital, tries to rape a woman, and then is murdered in front of Murdock all because humanity is one flash of light and blackout away from total self-destruction. I mean, I'm not expecting any happiness in a post-Millar Daredevil comic not written by Waid, but I think Nocenti's books are the bleakest run I've encountered. "Congratulations on breaking up that pedophile ring, Daredevil! Sure you were too late to save those children from being raped, but you got them back! Oh, and here's a reminder that you've only taken a drop out of the bucket!"

Even Mark Waid's DareDevil had some grim moments: "Hey, someone dug up your fathers grave and put his bones in your desk and by the way your best friend now have cancer".

If you're reading Daredevil and not expecting misery porn, I don't know what to tell you. (Ignoring, like, the really early stuff.)

Oh yeah, I was expecting "Daredevil gets poo poo on by life" that has been the standard Daredevil story since Miller, (and Born Again in particular). But this is a whole other level where there can't be anything good in Hell's Kitchen in general and possibly nothing good in humanity itself, not just in Daredevil's life. Edit:

Mr Hootington posted:Noted defense lawyer matt murdock From one of the many periods where he has been disbarred. Sure, the comic says it's because of the machinations of the Kingpin, but I'd like to think it was because the bar realized how insanely unethical his behavior as an attorney was. On that note, does Matt Murdock bill the hours he spends investigating as Daredevil?

If I recall correctly that's not that long after he gets disbarred in Miller/Mazzuchelli's Born Again. He spends the first year or two helping run a free legal clinic for people in Hell's Kitchen, but then he gets killed by Typhoid Mary and a bunch of other bad guys and is left for dead in a field. He's brought back to life by the ghost of Stick but finds himself getting choked to death by a demonically possessed vacuum cleaner and wanders into the Inferno event where all of NYC is invaded by Hell, which dovetails him into getting beers with Mephisto who I feel like spends the middle part of the Nocenti/JRJR run turning an amnesiac/hallucinating Daredevil into Job, trying to get Matt to lose his faith in humanity because of racism or factory farming or the media's depiction of women or whatever. It was/is one of my favorite Marvel runs, but I am not sure how you really slot it into the longer meta-narrative of Daredevil or the Marvel Universe but I guess it's ripe for lol Superdickery out of context panels!

You forgot the part where Daredevil ends the Inferno crossover issue with collapsing in a bar for a drink on the date that is explicitly July 5th (previous story took place on July 4th and the Inferno story takes place the next day) and the next issue starts with him still having that drink in the bar on Christmas. Honestly, Daredevil vs. the actual devil is the main reason I'm reading the run. I've been curious about how those stories work for a while because I've never associated Daredevil with a particularly high moral standing so it's not like he has very far to fall. Also, I legit do not know what was going on with Stick bringing him back to life while the Mary personality of Typhoid Mary chops up the demonic vacuum cleaner. I was reading it as metaphorical, especially given the breakdowns DD was having before that, but the later issues say it was literal. Oh, and Typhoid's relationship with the Kingpin is just plain icky but in this instance I'm positive that's what Nocenti was going for.

And then Daredevil destroys Ultron with a stick (with a little help from Gorgon and Karnak). Nocenti DD is rad as hell and basically every panel by JRJr is a masterpiece. Absolutely grab those Epic collections if you haven’t read it
