Some thoughts about Rorschach #2

Who or what is Rorschach?

The investigation is now leading to a strange case concerning an artist and the strange relationship he had with married couple, something that caused the intervention of a vigilante.

Okay, this story took a twist that I wasn't expecting.

Tom King brings a new chapter and, while the first one didn't leave a real impression about where it was going, this one is much clearer. First of all, you must know about Steve Ditko, the creator of several comic characters over the years including Spider-Man, Blue Beetle (Ted Kord) and especially both The Question and Mr. A, the latter two were heroes that heavily inspired Alan Moore in the creation of Rorschach. Why is this important? Well, because in this same issue we're introduced to an artist named William Myerson who has a huge resemblance to Ditko, particularly how he lived the latter years of his life mostly in reclusion after the problems he had with comic companies concerning his creations and he even created a character called The Citizen who, of course, is very similar to both The Question and Rorschach, and his stories were depicted in a manner how he appeared in the Mr. A black and white comics. I should have expected this from King after Mister Miracle but still the appearance of a comic creator in story still really surprised me.

Mind you, King also takes a few twists with the plot including Myerson's failed relationship with a woman he date and whose new husband maked fun of him for years because of it which leads to the inclusion of Rorschach into the conflict, something that implies that there's even a bigger mystery going on here than I initially thought. Things are reaching a supernatural level now.

Jorge Fornes handles the art and his style is perfect for the story due to how much of a classic tone he has, he kinda even makes young Myerson look like Peter Parker which I don't think is much of a reach concerning all the themes going on.

Great read, invested now.
