"[Hannah Arendt] had been in a concentration camp, and how we as a free society stop another Nazi rising was sort of her obsession of her whole life. Instead of constructing Rorschach from a Randian point of view, if we construct him from an Arendt point of view, how does that change our conception of superheroes, and our conception of vigilantism?

"I worship his art but I think he'd hate everything I wrote. We're going to pay as much tribute to his beautiful art — and nobody tributes Steve [Ditko] better than Jorge — but he'd totally hate all of this and I apologize to his ghost." - Tom King
