How do the timelines of Sin City and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For line up?

Perhaps like 2014s300: Rise of an Empire, the answer is a little bit of both.

Luckily for her, nobody told Junior that John Hartigan was invited.

Au revoir, Nancy.

And it begins here, chronologically speaking, with A Dame to Kill For.

): Ava Lord.

It also helpfully places this before all the following stories given Dwights changed appearance.

However, the clue is Marvs appearance himself.

But since Hartigan has been dead forfouryears, it obviously takes place after The Yellow Bastard.

Still, Roark lost at cards to the boy.

But it does rope in a still very Nancy-obsessed Marv into helping her kill Senator Roark.

Nancy walks off into the night bitter and broken, soiled by this rotten town.

Still, Hartigans death has been avenged and the Roarks have been punished.

She has had her last dance.

The Hard Goodbye Part 1

Orhasshe?

Actually she is a whore name Goldie who latched onto him for protection, but it doesnt matter none.

Lt. Jack Rafferty, aka Jackie Boy (Benicio Del Toro).

But the traitor in their midst is the reason it must come after the majority of The Hard Goodbye.

And she is talking to that ever-concerned mom on a cell phone when he offers her a cigarette.

Clearly she has to go.

But its all-good, as another priest prays for his soul.

I havent got all night, Marv cracks before they fill his body with lightning.

For Goldie though, it was worth it.

It very well could take place before the first part of The Yellow Bastard.

He picks back so hard that they cease to breathe.

But Nancy appears relatively happy and resilient after Hartigans death in The Hard Goodbye.

Did Manute have a twin brother with the same eye injury that we didnt know about?

Do you know of any more inconsistencies in the timeline?
