    Rorschach is an American comic book limited series written by Tom King and drawn by Jorge Fornés. The series is published by DC Comics under their DC Black Label imprint.[1] The series is a sequel to both the comic book maxiseries Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, and the television limited series of the same name by Damon Lindelof, which also served as a sequel to the same comic book series.[2]

    Premise[edit]

    Thirty-five years after the death of Rorschach, and one year after the death of Doctor Manhattan, an unnamed homicide detective investigates the crimes committed by Wil Myerson, a comic book creator that assumed the Rorschach mantle.[1]
