Archangel #5, Page 19

Page 19 sees NAOMI and VINCE return to NAOMI's headquarters.

Panels 1-2.

NAOMI and VINCE are sent to her headquarters.

Panel 3. 

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.

Page 19 sees a missed opportunity

Panel 1

The bomber flies overhead, they are too late

Panel 2

THE PILOT has run off, and NAOMI gives chase



Archangel #3, Page 19

Page 19 sees machine gunfire rakes the whole area

Panel 1

The gunfire hits the jeep that is parked and another one is driving into the firing zone (the identity of the driver is unknown at the moment).

Panel 2

The parked jeep is riddled with bullets.

Panel 3

A crate with "U.S. ARMY" "ROCKET" "MAIROC[?]"

Panel 4

VINCE, THE PILOT and NAOMI can see the new jeep's driver.



Archangel #2, Page 19

Page 19 VINCE on the run

Panel 1

VINCE fires, he may have hit someone. I'm sure VINCE must use Rex Applegate's Instinctive Aiming approach, if, as William Gibson has suggested, he was trained by Applegate.

Panels 2-3

It looks like he got the driver.

Panels 4-5

VINCE runs for it.

Panel 2

Chromatography dates back to 1903, "GAS CHROMATOGRAPH" - Used for separating and analyzing compounds that can be vaporized. Mainly used for testing the purity of a particular substance, or separating the different components of a mixture, and may help in identifying a compound.
