Installments identified by color instead of numbers that can be viewed/read in any order, except for the first and last chapters.

Maybe Ivar brought Kaleidoscope back in time through a time arc and Deathmate ripped off Kaleidoscope?

So much Deathmate talk. I remember being so disappointed by it, and some of the installments came out so late (seemed like years later?) that I missed them and never read the whole thing. Kind of want to read it now :D

Too bad it seems impossible to ever get a new collected edition with all the characters having so many different rightsholders now. VEI, NBCUniversal(Gold Key), DC(Wildstorm), Liefeld, Some of Liefeld's characters that he lost the rights to (like Youngblood), Silvestri, and probably more.

Deathmate was the first superhero comic not published by DC or Marvel I read, and what got me into VALIANT.

Whoa, that's awesome. I think it was the Red (Liefeld's) that took so long to come out. The chapters came out so sporadically that I think I missed some of the chapters at my shop. I really want to read the whole thing through now.

All I remember was the Solar from Rai 0 meeting up with Void (WildCats), I don't remember if any events from Deathmate had an effect on Valiant continuity.

Nope. Makes sense, though.

Now here's the wrinkle.

The Solar that merged with Void came from 2062, YET at the end of the event, the Geoff McHenry of the present day was aware of what happened...

A Wrinkle...in time.
Literally a wrinkle in time.
That's your answer.

I have no doubt the Geoff after the collapse of all time was stopped could "feel" that. Because it worked backwards in time, the events in 2062 had reached the other Geoff to some extent.

That was essentially the plot of the Prologue, right? just with the combined universe, that time
I've been looking everywhere for the ultra-rare Turok vs Blister issue. Anybody able to help me out?

Very plausible. The merge did affect all of time.

I think we're pushing the limits of what plausible is supposed to mean 😉

Well, plausible means it's more than probable. It makes it a certainty.

Kevin Vanhook chimed in about it over on the Facebook group.
