Atlantic City Chronology

Assembling an accurate timeline of the events revealed in Atlantic City so far was less easy than it first appeared. In certain scenes, the same images were used repeatedly, but the characters depicted were supposed to be different. in Milo's flashback, he is talking to Cole about his apparent apprehensions. In Wylie's flashback, he too is talking to Cole, at exactly the same time as Milo is supposed to be, and is in fact, drawn as the same character. Working from the dialogue, it is clear that Cole speaks to Milo first. Although several key moments take place in their exchange,  for the purpose of this chronology the dialogue has been transposed to an earlier part of the narrative. Some frames have been resized and recut to replace sections where only the dialogue is "heard", over up-to-date images. Cole's flashback is silent. As the only Minuteman revealed at that point, there is no-one to interact with. In addition, the sequence was coloured by Grant Goleash, using orange hues, rather than the blue tones favoured by Trish Mulvihill, who coloured every other sequence. For these reasons, all but the final three frames of this sequence have been omitted, as has the end of Milo's flashback, where the real world starts to seep back in.

There are some minor inconsistencies, but without getting Eduardo Risso to redraw the entire scene, this is as accurate a chronology as I can manage, up to the events of Punch Line, which added some more meat to the bones. Click here to view it.
