Panel 4: Yet
another image of a clock at 5 to midnight.
Also, from this angle – in a flashback that we’ve seen before in Chapter II, Page 11 – we are able to
verify that Captain Metropolis was indeed worried about “Black Unrest” as
something for the Crimebusters to tackle.
Panel 6: Kovacs’s voiceover in this panel,
particularly the lines that, “we do not do this thing because it is
permitted. We do it because we have to,”
is related over imagery showcasing the illegality and suspicion the populace
has toward “masks.” Specifically, we see
the unfinished graffiti, Who Watches the
Watchmen?, the news headline that the Keene Act has passed, outlawing
masked vigilantes, and the sign that says:
“Badges not Masks,” all of which are being ignored by Rorschach, who has
turned his back on these cries against him as well as the person who was
spray-painting the graffiti whom Rorschach obviously “worked over” to stop him
from defacing the building.
