Spinning out of the events of CHAOS, the Chosen are a group of monster teens who travel the world with one agenda - hunting other monsters! In this double-shot of horror, action, and humor, the Chosen team up with the powerful witch Suspira to take down Epitaph, a force of evil bent on using three co-eds to help him return from the dead. Then, the Chosen travel to an east coast hamlet to do battle against a strange, ancient monster! Two terrifying tales that explore the darkest corners of the Chaos universe!
This is a 48-page one-shot. It may be that Dynamite is looking at launching THE CHOSEN as a series. It is hard to know for sure, but based on CHAOS and this one-shot, they have a good chance at having a winner here. THE CHOSEN deserves a chance to make it as a magazine. It belongs in that rarified air with the rest of the revived CHAOS universe, as well as HACK/SLASH and other titles. Read Full Review
Filled with stock characters and a premise that is very recognizable, The Chosen does manage to engage with its self-aware humor and its very colourful action. Read Full Review
Overall this comic is pretty forgettable. Maybe if the second story was the entire thing and given time to breath instead of having a sudden ending there could be some hope. But instead it has decent build then a quick finish that actually makes half of the characters seem like complete morons to create a false sense of drama. Read Full Review
This was just flat-out bad! I would have expected this one-shot to be a prequel to the Chaos! series, seeing as The Chosen came out of nowhere and we had no idea who they were and why they were fighting. An origin of each character might have been good here. With forgettable characters, who cares about their story? FAIL
