Unity is a company-wide crossover story published by Valiant Comics in the summer of 1992. In the 2012 reboot of the Valiant Universe the name was reused for the team Unity.
The Unity story comprises eighteen issues and nine comic book series, published by Valiant during August and September 1992. It tells of Erica Pierce, the Mothergod, trying to rewrite reality and restore her original universe. The story has strong time travel and alternate timeline themes.
Unity is set in the Lost Land from the comic book Turok, a place in the middle of the time stream where time moves very slowly. As a result, it is still in the age of dinosaurs. When Mothergod arrives there, she begins constructing the Unity tower, with which she intends to destroy the universe.
The title, Unity, is also being used for a new comic series set to launch in November 2013, featuring Toyo Harada, Livewire, Ninjak, and the Eternal Warrior teaming up to battle against the X-O Manowar after he takes over Romania for the Visigoths.
The sequence of the original Unity chapters is as follows:
Unity #0 features a cover by Barry Windsor-Smith. The next eight books, released in August 1992, all feature cover art by Frank Miller and when combined form one large image. The second month of Unity books, released in September 1992, feature cover art by Walt Simonson and also form one large image when combined.
Unity officially began with Unity issue #0, cover dated August 1992. Any Valiant comic with a cover date before then is considered "pre-Unity". Due to the success of the Unity storyline, Valiant comics that were pre-Unity became harder to find as people began searching for the issues they'd missed. The demand drove the prices of these comics up significantly, with some issues of pre-Unity comics commanding $100 or more in the marketplace.
