Chaos was Lame!

I really enjoyed the Unity series but when Chaos series came around, I thought it was going to be good......Not!

It wasn't all bad but nowhere near Unity. Chaos worked good in the Alpha and Omega books as well as the Necromatic books (Shadowman, Dr. Mirage, SOTVU) The rest of the books had a hard time fitting in some worked some sucked. I think it would have played out a lot better if they had given it a little more time maybe a two month storyline instead of one.

Back on topic.

I think the main reason for Chaos Effect was the introduce THE VISTOR

Chaos launched Timewalker, Visitor, and Geomancer. And saw the end of A&A.

And the getting rid of Master Darque :x , the declaration that A & A and Geoff were Darque's greatest enemies

, the "revelation" that the Lost Land is made of necromatic energy

, and the publishing of a whole lot of boring comics

.

I did enjoy a few issues in there. The Shadowman issue and the Secrets of the Valiant Universe issue it continued into were great (but Bob Hall usually was).

EW was interesting. Looking back through it...Gilad had a red headed lover named Julia that Malloch stole from him. Was that a coincidence or a set up for something that never happened?

The two Epilogues with Magnus were pretty much the only things I liked about the Chaos Effect.

yeah those were pretty good-but fell a little flat since you knew that he was not going tobe able to meet kris (which would have been weird) they should have come up with something better that prevented them from meeting...i thought it plaguerized terminator a little too-riding around on the bike. that could have been really great if he had gotten into a huge fight with harada hisself...imagine...was harada out of his coma and all that then?

I fixed my little mistake, sorry if I offended anyone. Now if I can only get Slym to edit his quote nobody will know what happened.

I have no idea what you might mean.....

The Chaos Effect was an alright story, but I wasn't satisfied with several aspects. They never really said what caused it, it just sort of happened. Then Magnus ran around for awhile in the Valiant present, but we didn't get to see hardly any of his adventures, or how exactly he got back to the future. And when he did get back, his face was all messed up! Did they ever explain any of these plot holes?

All set up for future stories that never saw the light of day (probably due to the change in direction once Accliam bought the company). The Chaos Effect was supposed to be the necromatic energy from the end of the world but, of course, Ivar couldn't remember anything about it

. I read somewhere that the world ended because a lot people in that future time could use necromatic energy and they ended blowing the Earth up (can't remember where I read that at).

One aspect of the Chaos Effect that I did like was Bernard's pencils on the Epilogue and the Prologue. MAN, those were some -sweet- lines! I really digged 'em.

Does anyone think that if Acclaim never bought Valiant that something positive would have came from Chaos Effect?

Anything's possible, I suppose. Some of the plotlines actually had potential if they had been done (Magnus in the 20th century, for instance).

Of course, if Valiant hadn't wanted to sell itself, then they wouldn't have put out so many titles stretching their creative force so thin and turning the majority of the line into unreadable mush. It would've been an entirely different company. Heck, Chaos Effect might have even been good if that had happened!

Acclaimed really messed it up!

It must of been a lot of money for Valiant to sell.
oh well

It would of been great to see glimpses of the end of the world. What year it was and why Ivar was there.....
