Panel 2: And here, we get the first flashback image
that is entirely new – the revelation that Veidt was indeed the one who came to
the Edward Blake’s apartment and killed him, killed the Comedian.
And
again, Veidt’s commentary – “…humanity’s fate rested safely in my hands…” – is
mirrored by the image of him holding the Comedian’s fate in his hands, holding
Blake aloft before throwing him through the window to his death.
Panel 4: Veidt’s comment that teleportation works fine
“…assuming you want things to explode on arrival…” is mirrored by the image of
the Comedian exploding through the shattered window.
The
remarks about the psychic shockwave that would result upon the “death” of the
monster Veidt had created on that secret island is the key to the success of
his plan, as we will see in the final chapter.
Panel 6: Nite Owl’s inquiry of Veidt – “…when was this
hopeless black fantasy supposed to happen…” – is played over the scene in New
York just seconds before it did
happen, as shown by the clock that reads 11:25 in the background.
