From the inside Dust Jacket Flaps:

The VALIANT Universe was in full swing and gaining popularity just as the UNITY crossover began. All the VALIANT titles converged, and two new ones were added, in an epic crossover that is a seminal work for the comic book crossover.

Unity 0 was the first of 18 chapters and was given out free to readers. The crossover spans all the titles, but it’s not necessary for readers to read anything more than the title they were already reading to understand UNITY. Reading all 18 chapters gave even the newest reader a great foothold on the ideas, characters and titles in the VALIANT Universe, and it provides one of the greatest stories told in comics.

UNITY has serious and long-lasting effects on the rest of the Valiant Universe. Because of the immense preparation undertaken, none of the existing titles storylines were ‘put on hold’ while the crossover takes place. All the storylines flow seamlessly in and out of UNITY. The crossover took VALIANT from popular independent to the third major publisher and remains a pinnacle of comic book storytelling.

The “Unity” Saga

When Phil Seleski accidentally creates a black hole that throws him back in time, he causes irrevocable change through-out existence. The temporal dimension he comes back to is not the one he had left. Unknown to Phil, his former colleague Erica Pierce survives the black hole and likewise falls back in time. Unbalanced by an abusive father as a child and a miserable life as an adult, Erica has been an adversary of Seleski’s even before the black hole. Now she is determined to destroy him and the altered temporal dimension that is his legacy. Like Phil, she possesses the ability to manipulate energy of any kind. Erica hides on Earth for centuries, all the while developing her plan for revenge against the man who has become Solar. She unfolds a plan to bring order and unity to all of existence by ending the universe and creating a new one. Using hand-picked assistants who treat her as a God, Erica builds up a secluded haven in what eventually becomes North Am. After discovering the Lost Land, she moves her haven there, and proceeds with her plan to bring about Unity. The Lost Land is a place outside of existence where time is absolute. It is thus a perfect place from which to launch a plan to end all of time. Her only obstacle proves to be the heroes of Earth, who band together in an effort to thwart her plans. Although she has legions of warriors from the 1800s, robs from the 41st Century, and bionically-enhanced dinosaurs (known as Bionisaurs) to fight for her, the heroes eventually prevail. Solar locks Erica in a cincture wormhole of non-existence. When Solar takes the mass of a black hole that Erica’s reactors has created and changes it into energy, the Lost Land becomes a zone of unreality and ceases to exist. With the Lost Land destroyed, Unity cannot threaten anyone else ever again. Although Erica does not succeed in creating Unity, her plan profoundly changes the universe...
