    Absent Friend

    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'.

    Good issue. By this and in the other issues we learn more and more that Edward Blake 'The Comedian' is a bad man. A bad man for a hero !!! In this issue we see a little Rorschach action if i can call it that way. He is trying to find out what is after Watchmen. Who watches the Watchmen ???  
    It get's more and more interesting and if you didn't read this.......what are you waiting for !?
