WatchmenThis book opens with a reading of Rorschach's journal on October 12, 1985, and a pool of blood on the sidewalk that resulted from Edward Blake being thrown out of the skyscraper. Rorschach came to investigate the crime sceene and found out that Edward Blake was the Comedian. Rorschach then came to Daniel's place to wait for him. Rorschach and Daniel then talked about possible motives for the murder and went down to their former secret lair. Rorschach and Daniel then talked about being former partners and that the good times ended when Daniel quit. On October 13, 1985, Rorschach went to a bar and demanded that somebody told him who killed Edward Blake. When Rorschach produced no results from the bar, he went to go tell a fellow masked crusader about the Comedian's death. Rorschach then told the other crusader that the Mask-Killer was on the loose and to watch his back.
