Jim Shooter on "Unity 2000". Copyright © Joe Petrilak. I had the good fortune of speaking to Jim Shooter on the night of July 12, 1999, the same day as Acclaim's press release that Jim Shooter was to write "Unity 2000". Here is the interview.

Unity 2000 is an event mini-series published by Acclaim Comics beginning in 1999. It was written by Jim Shooter with art by Jim Starlin. The series was planned to last for six issues, but only three were ever published, and the story remains permanently unfinished, however, Shooter has made the complete script available online in the meantime.[1]
A prelude story to the event, The Valiant Deaths of Jack Boniface, was published as two backup stories and double issue flipbooks with Shadowman (Volume 3) #3 and Shadowman (Volume 3) #4. This prelude established the concept of the Valiant Universe Multiverse and let Jim Shooter kill off (multiple versions of) Jack Boniface as predicted during the original Unity event (1992). The main story would then re-introduce the original versions of many characters, even the ones that were not created by Shooter; e.g. Bloodshot and Ivar, Timewalker.

"Unity" is an 18-issue crossover story published by Valiant Comics in the summer of 1992. It was conceived by Valiant's Editor-in-Chief, Jim Shooter, who wanted to revolutionize the crossover concept in comics.

Not to be confused with the original Unity crossover from 1992, Unity 2000 is the name of a six-issue series of comics by Acclaim, written by Jim Shooter, and pencilled by Jim Starlin starting in 1999.
The Unity crossover is not to be confused with Unity 2000. After Acclaim got involved and destroyed any semblance of reality, they offered Shooter a chance to fix their mistakes. A six-issue mini-series was planned.
Shooter returned to Valiant, by now called Acclaim Comics, briefly in 1999 to write Unity 2000 (an attempt to combine and revitalize the older and newer Valiant Universes) but Acclaim went out of business after the completion of only three of the planned six issues.
