In order to prime audiences for the upcoming TNT series, Titan Comics has released an official timeline for the Snowpiercer universe! The timeline is meant to make clear the timeframe in which the events of the graphic novels take place with regards to both the new series and the 2013 film release. It also charts the prequel graphic novels, which are still being released by Titan: Part 2 is due out this August, with Part 3 following sometime next year. The new television series will star the Academy Award winner Jennifer Connelly and Hamilton‘s Daveed Diggs.
Snowpiercer premieres May 17th, but in the meantime check out the timeline and catch up on the graphic novels!

At the front of the train, the survivors live in comfort and luxury – at the rear, their lives are worse than cattle, trapped in the squalid dark. When one of the occupants of the tail breaks through into the main train – all hell follows in his wake!
