Pretty much the same thing I said for my review of #1. The story is getting juicy!

Rorschach is out of disguise and in a diner bleeding all over the counter and his eggs when the waitress wipes his face with a rag. She likes him but doesn't even know his name. He walks away without telling her.

The next journal entry is July 7, 1977 and the story is in Time's Square. We see the crew that tried to kill Rorschach and learn the boss is named Rawhead. Rorschach steals a truck and smashes into a wall, pinning beneath one of the gang members that beat him down in the last issue. Then he lights a molitov cocktail and torches the truck with the gang member still pinned under it.

Rawhead finds out Rorschach is still alive. He kills the other gang member that witnessed the truck torching for not killing Rorschach.

Turns out Rorschach is in worse shape than we thought. He stumbles back into the diner, takes a seat, and pukes blood all over the booth. The waitress takes him to the hospital.

In the next scene, we see a gang member pimp about to beat the hell out of his prostitute. Rorschach busts in and stops him. He ties him up and beats him, trying to get him to tell him Rawhead's location. Rawhead's goons are running up the stairs to attack Rorschach when the comic ends.
