* RealitySubtext: Tom King [[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/rorschach-writer-pulls-back-curtain-on-very-angry-watchmen-followup-4056798/ makes no bones about the fact that]] -- just like how ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' was very politically influenced by the world of the 1980's it was made in -- ''Roschach'' is very politically influenced by the world of 2020 it was made in. Not only does it directly ruminate on the moral legacy of Rorschach (the character), it's also heavily influenced by modern American paranoia, including the proliferation of destructive hard-right conspiracy theories like Qanon.

* CreatorsOddball: ''Rorschach'' is very unlike a lot of Creator/TomKing's usual work. Some of his most [[CreatorThumbprint recognizable quirks]] -- such as the nine-panel grid format and [[ArcWords his stuttering, repetitive dialogue]] -- are absent, and while the story is a deep {{deconstruction}} of the dark psychology of a superhero (or whatever [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} the character of Rorschach]] counts as), said analysis is objective and detatched, with the actual protagonist being a total BlankSlate without a backstory or [[NoNameGiven even a name]]. [[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/rorschach-writer-pulls-back-curtain-on-very-angry-watchmen-followup-4056798/ King even stated]] that he consciously avoided using a lot of his usual tropes as a sort of personal challenge, inspired by how Creator/AlanMoore broadly approached ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' by greatly discarding usual superhero comic conventions.
