    A Bad Man Is A Hero 0

    Watchmen #2 - Absent Friends by englentine on April 01, 2010

    This issue focuses on The Comedian, with the backdrop of his funeral we see his interactions with the other heroes, and the depths his depravity and questionable mporals took him.   First Sally Jupiter and her daughter Laurie talk about the Comedian and her days with him in the Minute Men.  We  see the group discussing their place in the world with it going to war.The dialogue in this scene does a good job of creating real characters.

    The story starts when Laurie is visiting her mother (the original Silk Spectre) Sally Jupiter. Then we see how Jon is attending the funeral of Edward Blake. Laurie and her mother discuss when Blake tried to rape her and his antics in life.  Then the picture in again changed to the funeral of Edward and it end with a man with the sign reading 'The End is Nigh'.  My Personal Toughs: Good issue. By this and in the other issues we learn more and more that Edward Blake 'The Comedian' is a bad man. A ...
