The title of this one was spot on, because this story pretty much was chaos. Im a fan of Tim Seeley, but this just came across confusing to me. For one thing it was loaded with main characters, really too many for my tastes. It seemed like a lot was going on, but for some reason most of it didn't seem relevant. Maybe it was just me, I'm not sure.
I would have given this a 2 for the story, but I do like the characters (Chaos does have some really sexy female characters) and the art wasnt bad. If you are a die hard Chaos fan you'll probably like this one, otherwise I wouldn't really recommend it. I guess it's an overall 2.5.

I agree with another reviewer this comic was pure chaos and though by the end I could understand the story and appreciate the artwork, the journey was just too confusing, and even 3/4th the way I was lost in the jumping around of the story. But I liked the chaos and also the cover gallery at the end.
I have always loved comics, and I hope that I will always love them. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics or Diamond Comics or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on the international and classic comics and Graphic novels. I am on my quest to read as many comics as I can. I Love comics to the bits, may the comics never leave my side. I loved reading this and love reading more, you should also read what you love and then just Keep on Reading.

CHAOS: HIGHWAY TO HELL is about bringing a lot of Chaos Comics' "bad girls" to Dynamite. They're not quite as sleazy, err, sexy as they were before but they're still quite sexy and the fact they have Tim Seeley as the writer with Mirka Andolfo is a dynamite combo. The premise is that Evil Ernie is being manipulated by Lady Hel to try to destroy the world, so the Chosen (a collection of mostly female antiheroes) must stop them. Evil Ernie is trying to be a hero but the necromancer zombie is just terrible at it and Chastity is on the side of the baddies this time around. I really enjoy this book and everyone is beautiful and entertaining.

I bought this book purely as a fan of Mirka Andolfo’s artwork. It was an entertaining if slightly gory read full of fun characters although they were all new to me and as the book seemed designed to be read by someone already familiar with them, it took me a while to get up to speed and work out which ones were new to the series. The highest praise I can give the writing is that it made me want to explore the characters origins. Mirka’s artwork is, as always, gorgeous.

here below was my review of the first issue that could describe the whole run - which I liked! 3/5!
"I'll start this with a confession that I'm a total sucker for vampires, demons, monsters and rest of the supernatural and occult bunch - and when a comic book, or any other media, promises me a larger than life clash between them - I'm hooked!
I have almost no previous history with Dynamite's chaos series, and its rooster of colorful characters, but that doesn't seem to be an issue as all of them are their take on well known fantasy cliches - vampire princess, demon queen, demonic killer, teenage monster, werewolf, necromancer, "Nostradamus" and so on. And this series is supposed to be a reboot of some some sorts - so nothing is amiss (at least you don't feel like missing something) and any reader can jump in. Which is a definite plus!
This first issue, out of six planned, is what any first issue is supposed to be - an opening and a set up of greater things to come, and a reason for whole series to exist. In this regard it is probably one of the best set up and number one issues I have read - with a proper introduction of the main cast, majority of parties involved and also their motivations, and a nominal side, on which reader should be standing, if he desires so in this "everyone is bad, but not that bad if the apocalypse is upon us as some of the bad don't really look forward it and would love to try stopping said event". So anyone who has read this one should more or less guess where this is all going and what he is in if he chooses to join the ride of the following 5 issues.
The other bright side of this comic is the art - really loved the line work of Mirka Andolfo, and the colorist Walter Baiamonte. But mind you - that's really regarding the inside of the comic. This is one of the rare cases when cover is much worse than the inside art. If it were for the cover art I wouldn't have even touched it (sorry J.Scott Campbell) - it is really off-putting and a bit too much tended for the audience that just wants to see over-sexualised females in their comics ( but that's just a rant of a person who is a past his teenage years, and maybe 10 years ago I would have said something entirely else in this regard). Because, as I said earlier, I really liked the art that was welcoming reader from page to page - it is not really detail rich, but rather well textured and has a lot of sketchy lines and well inked - I love when comic book still retains its "penciled" origins, and I find this current approach as a fine balance between digital and hand drawn art. Really pleasing to the eye. Artist has its style, and colorist sure knows how to make it pop - a synergy that sometimes is amiss in comic books, but not this one. Also I can say that another balance is well kept - between anatomically proper humans and their cartoonish supernatural implementations, that are not striving to be photorealistic or whatsoever, just aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Really hoping that this team will do the rest of the issues!
But now - the Bad. And it kinda pains me to say it, but there is just one issue with this comic - it is generic to the bone. I mean the whole concept. I'm trying not to make myself think how it will all develop and end, and the only thing keeping me from doing that is amount of action scenes and teenage dream figures of scantly clad females - things like these always work well for distracting from thinking hard, and author obviously knows this well. I do understand well that this is a teenage comic book, but sometimes (or more often than not) I just can't stop wondering why minors should be fed with something that is rather brainless and is just a good looking candy wrapping with a content that could be described just in a single word at best - no additional layers of taste or life impacting revelations to ponder on.
If you know what you are getting into, CHAOS! #1 provides quite a good supernatural action entertainment with a generic world's end premise, a really colorful cast of not-that-bad and bad guys(girls) and a well done art (except for the standard cover!). A rating of 3/5 stars and a label "liked it" well earned. Will see how it all goes on in the issue #2!"

This is definitely not fr new readers of the Chaos! Universe. I had a passing familiarity with the characters, and spent a fair bit of time lost as the alliances and double-crosses played out, all while everyone's working for their own end of the world. Lots of violence, disturbing imagery, Chaos female costumes and bad language - Chaos is the embodiment of 90's comic excess, except written in 2014. It has its enjoyable moments, too, but for the most part it's over the top, reveling in its tasteless glory. For a certain audience, it's a perfect match. I'm not that audience.

Enjoyed this apocalyptic romp with the interesting characters of Chaos Comics via Dynamite Entertainment. Evil Ernie, Smiley, Purgatori and Chastity are all central to the mayhem. Highly recommended.

The artwork and character design were gorgeous. The story was pretty hard to follow though. Might be easier for someone familiar with the IP/characters.

December 14, 2022For once the art wasn’t the problem it was the story I couldn’t make heads or tails of it. If you didn’t know the chaos characters, which I don’t you would be so lost. I read an issue and a half and gave up because I couldn’t keep track of what was happening. This felt like it was for the hardcores. Is this is supposed to be your introduction to new people? It wasn’t good! The art was pretty solid now you’re gonna get some cheesy pinup ladies in here. I saw that a couple times, but the art overall wasn’t egregious like other dynamite books have been.

I have mixed feelings on this one. Abundant eye candy and an interesting paranormal focus with high stakes seem like a recipe for success. Maybe it's the pacing or the shallow characterizations spread among the cast in a single introductory volume. I find myself wanting more and not entirely in a good way. In spite of all its positives, this volume didn't have the kind of hook that makes me want to come back.

I'm still catching up with all of dynamite comics work with the old Chaos characters but as soon as i saw Mirka Andolfo illustrated this book. I knew this book is an automatic buy. too bad all the coffin bro's will automatically hate on this due to the change of ownership of these characters and i feel bad for them.
