Panel 2: We
discover the answer to Detective Fine’s question from Chapter I. Blake does not
black out before hitting the pavement.
Panel 3: The caption “curtains” is on a scene that,
colloquially, fades to black – though in this case it fades to red – as if a
curtain were being dropped on the end of a Broadway show, representing the
bloody end of the Comedian’s life. It
also transitions into
Panel 4: as we have a close up shot of the red
roses. The rain on the roses almost
looks like tears.
Panel 6: The fact that Rorschach takes a rose for his
lapel exhibits more humanity than we have seen from him thus far, and gives us
insight into the fact that he had great respect for the Comedian.
