Archangel #5, Page 7

Page 7 sees combat in the cockpit.

Panel 1

JUNIOR is in charge.

Panel 2

JUNIOR seems to like shooting people.

Panel 3

JUNIOR fires at THE PILOT.

Panel 4

The bullet ricochets.

Panel 5

...and kills the pilot (instead of killing THE PILOT ;-)

Do bullets ricochet in real life? yes.



Archangel #4, Page 7

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).



Panel 3

A Memex is a "MEMORY STORAGE UNIT" here.

Panel 4

The radio-controlled bombs have a 50 feet range, just as well.

Panel 5

"I'VE SEEN" - The other pilot's bomb goes off in Issue #1

Panel 6

[No comments].


Archangel #3, Page 7

Page 7 brings us back to Mr. Baby's Nightclub

Panels 1-3

THE PILOT figures out the NAOMI is in the basement below him. NAOMI has moved out of the Faraday Cage so her signal returns.

Panel 4

FRITZ is keeping an eye on everything.





Archangel #2, Page 7

Page 7 sees NAOMI meet THE PILOT again.

Panel 1

NAOMI and FRITZ hear a creak.

Panel 2

NAOMI instructs FRITZ to leave.

Panel 3

NAOMI knows her science.

Panel 4



H.G. Wells wrote "The Invisible Man", it was originally serialized in Pearson's Weekly in 1897, and was published as a novel the same year.

H.G. Wells also wrote "The Time Machine" in 1895 which has similar themes to Archangel. Also H.G. Wells himself travelled to the 1970s to catch Jack the Ripper:



Panel 5

"I'M THE PILOT" - Do some people not have names in the alternative 2016? Is THE PILOT trying to protect NAOMI by not telling her his name?



Archangel #1, Page 7

Page 7 explains a little bit about JUNIOR's objectives in going back in time (to an alternative world).

Panel 1

From DR. DAVIS' point of view, we hear MAJOR TORRES suggest that the real plan has always been to ensure that JUNIOR and his cronies survive, and that they do not care about the survival of the rest of the world.

Panel 3

MAJOR TORRES pointing her gun at an empty chair to indicate to DR. DAVIS to sit in it.

Panel 4

DR. DAVIS seems to be indicating that the SPLITTER is not just allowing them access to parallel universes, but rather, that it is creating them.

Panel 5

MAJOR TORRES (cable) ties DR. DAVIS to the chair.

Panel 6

MAJOR TORRES reveals that she lied about the energy levels, and it will be possible to transport others back in time ("A STEALTH FIGHTER AND TWO MARINES").

Panel 7

[No comments]

Panel 8

MAJOR TORRES reveals she and her group mined the tunnels.

Panel 9

MAJOR TORRES activates a remote control.

Panel 10

On the monitors explosions go off in the entrance tunnels to the SPLITTER.
