This comic - and Khaos in general, really - is a little hard to review, because at the time, this was THE comic with trans characters, which meant it tended to garner disproportionately strong reactions (including myself as a baby queer), both love for what it does right and anger for when it fucked up. So, Khaos was important to a generation of queer people. Does important mean good? Well, YMMV. The stories and characters are, at their core, good and sweet and relatable. I think there are some aspects where the Tab Kimpton of 10 years ago maybe wasn't well-educated or emotionally intelligent enough to portray certain issues the way they should have been, especially in this last volume. The dialogue and the characters' voices are good, and feel authentic to queer British 17 year olds (I would know, because I was one when I first read this). The art ranges from super gorgeous (especially in the colored cover pages) to slightly sloppy in some panels, which I guess can only be expected from a comic that was posted in weekly updates, because art takes time.
