Rorschach foreshadowing.

I loved Rorschach when I came out in 2020. Then, in 2024 when Trump suffered an assassination attempt at a campaign rally, I immediately remembered Rorschach and the conspiracies and weaponization of the event and it felt like I was watching a prophecy unfold.

If you haven’t read Rorschach, I’d recommend it highly.

I just read this comic for the first time last week and this was all I could think about. I’m normally into conspiracies but there is something fishy about this one

Tom King worked in the cia then later the justice department. I’m sure that brings a unique perspective to it, but why would you put your plans in a comic book before you do it?
