Panel 3.
THE PILOT is in Germany.
Panels 4-5.
The paper states - "TRUMP'S TRIUMPH" - The New York Times, The Economist, and NewStatesman had that as a headline.
This means THE PILOT is in our world, but our world is a product of the Splitter rather than the "right" history, William Gibson explained this in March 2016 in an interview with CBR:
"The Splitter splits timelines, creates forks in history, so it’s really a pretty standard sci-fi plot device. I think we’ve made interesting use of it, though, in part because our timeline here, today, turns out to be a product of the Splitter, and, for all our problems in our real 2016, we got really lucky compared to everyone in the original timeline, where they finally build the Splitter in an attempt to escape. That’s spoilerish, but I think it goes by so fast in the comic that a lot of people could miss it, so I don’t mind underlining it."
The outcome of the U.S. election was undecided when writing commenced on Archangel, so when asked how the end would have differed had Hillary Clinton won the election, William Gibson tweeted, "In the same place, but with the Pilot simply staring in wonder at the city"

THE PILOT is somewhere amongst us, keep an eye out for him, and be nice to him if you see him, he's going to have serious culture shock.

NAOMI and VINCE are sent to her headquarters.
Panel 3.
FRITZ doesn't recognise VINCE ... why?
(1) The "prime" universe; the original, where ROBERT HENDERSON is president of the U.S., and the world is in a crappy state.
(2) The first "fork", when JUNIOR HENDERSON used the Splitter, where he went back in time and killed his grandfather, and tried to execute the Archangel plan.
(3) The second "fork", when THE PILOT and CARLOS used the Splitter to go back in time to stop JUNIOR, and NAOMI, FRITZ, and VINCE got involved.
(4) The third "fork"; our world, where DONALD TRUMP is president of the U.S., caused by TORRES blowing up the Splitter, and sending NAOMI and VINCE into this fork in 1945, and THE PILOT into the same fork in 2016.
Either that or there are two universes in the Archangel comics:

NAOMI and VINCE are sent to her headquarters.

FRITZ doesn't recognise VINCE ... why?
It could be that there are four universes in the Archangel comics:
(1) The "prime" universe; the original, where ROBERT HENDERSON is president of the U.S., and the world is in a crappy state.
(2) The first "fork", when JUNIOR HENDERSON used the Splitter, where he went back in time and killed his grandfather, and tried to execute the Archangel plan.
(3) The second "fork", when THE PILOT and CARLOS used the Splitter to go back in time to stop JUNIOR, and NAOMI, FRITZ, and VINCE got involved.
(4) The third "fork"; our world, where DONALD TRUMP is president of the U.S., caused by TORRES blowing up the Splitter, and sending NAOMI and VINCE into this fork in 1945, and THE PILOT into the same fork in 2016.
Either that or there are two universes in the Archangel comics:
When the Splitter was destroyed, it caused a quantum rupture, whereby its destruction not only propagated changes forward, but it also propagated changes backwards, so all of the uses of the Splitter were erased from history, in a way it was as if JUNIOR and THE PILOT and the others never went back in time at all, except Major Aloysius Henderson did die a year earlier, and as a result his son didn't become president, and therefore his grandson didn't travel back in time, resulting in our reality.

I have to confess, this was a complete surprise to me, I was expecting TORRES to redirect the bomb to Nagasaki, not to the SNAKE MOUNTAIN facility.
For a second I thought she had dropped it on the White House, but then I remembered that there's a replica White House here:
By dropping the bomb here, the Splitter is destroyed. We will see the impact this has had soon.

This page shows what a confident and strong writer William Gibson has become in the comics medium, using pictures as easily as text to tell the story. As I see it, the first two issues of Archangel were still a novelist writing comic books, but by one third of the way through issue #3 Gibson became a superb comic book writer. It is a testament to his genius that he has been able to adapt to a new medium so quickly.

It's possible to draw parallels between the scenario outlined here, and any number of world events, both recent and as far back as the Suez Crisis in 1956, and before.TORRES is really suggesting that this was a false flag event, which are events that are designed to appear as though they are being carried out by one group, and were actually planned and executed by another.

Panel 3
"NEW B-29S" - Boeing developed the B-29 during the second World War, and the first flight of a B-29 was 21st September 1942. Two "famous" B-29s during that war were the Enola Gay (which dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima) and the Bockscar (which dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki).

Page 7 sees NAOMI changes THE PILOT's dressings
Panel 1
Again NAOMI has such a good understanding of time travel and can see things from THE PILOT's point of view.
Panel 2
The military tattoo barcodes onto its personal in THE PILOT's future.
The tracking and bomb activation device that JUNIOR is called a "Memex". The Memex machine was a hypothetical machine proposed by Vannevar Bush (scientific advisor to the U.S. President during WW II) in 1945, which was a desk with two screens and two input devices that would allow people to access text, audio and film-based materials, and create links between different content. The Memex machine concept strongly influenced a number of computer pioneers, including J.C.R. Licklider (who did important work on Human-Computer interfaces), Douglas Engelbart (who developed the computer mouse, computer graphics, video conferencing, and word processing), and Ted Nelson (who pioneered hypertext and hyperlinks).

A Memex is a "MEMORY STORAGE UNIT" here.

Panel 2
FRITZ is selling to the U.S. Army
Panel 3
More and more FRITZ is turning out to be the hero of this story, his illegal activities are raising money for an orphanage (admittedly by employing orphans as child labour, but no one's perfect!).

Page 3 explains JUNIOR's plan
Panel 1
In THE PILOT's version of the future, the second atomic bomb, dropped from the Bockscar, was dropped on Archangel, Russia instead of Nagasaki.
JUNIOR changes the bombing location, and that results in the Nu Earth that JUNIOR is from, so this is a bit of a temporal causality loop.
Panel 2
NAOMI asks the important question "WHY ARCHANGEL?"
Panels 3-4
So instead of the MAD doctrine (Mutually Assured Destruction), we get Pax Americana.
Pax Americana is a real-world term used to describe the relative peace in the Western Hemisphere as a result of the preponderance of power enjoyed by the United States since the middle of the 20th century.

It appears as if NAOMI looks surprised that the SIIEDs are remotely controlled, but not because she doesn't know about remote controls, she would know well that Nikola Tesla demonstrated a remote-controlled boat in 1898, but rather her expression indicates that she is figuring out something to do about the remote control.
