It had the MANHUNTERS and they had this rallying cry: " NO EVIL SHALL ESCAPE THE MANHUNTERS! "


It says something when a line from a comic is the only worthwhile thing from a mini-series. ;)

Yea it seems like a waste of time. Sometimes its hard to respect a DC crossover...Well see ya @ the homecoming.

That's "No man escapes the Manhunters!"

And outside of a few mildly interesting crossovers, there wasn't much of substance to Millennium. The idea of one member of each hero's supporting cast being a traitor isn't a bad one, per se, but it was handled so wildly and inconsistently it was hard to take seriously.

Whoops your right . I was thinkin back to when they were good guys. I do think the DC Secret Origins was the best part of them. I have that whole issue on each human Manhunter and the robotic ones from Millennium.

How many issues did this series run?

I've gotten 1-6,8 in quarter bins in the last few months but I haven't read them yet...

This seemed like a fun/lame cross over from before I was into DC, and given the price I've paid, I'm looking forward to finding issue 7....but did it actually go 9 weeks? more?

No, it ended with issue 8, thank god.

Fun fact: MILLENNIUM was DC's first attempt at a weekly series. Between that and ACTION COMICS WEEKLY, the bar's been set tremendously low for *52.

Actualy I think you're both right. The Manhunters originated as a police force with the "evil" version, but when they went rogue they changed it to "man"

It was the worst crossover that DC has ever had. Horrible horrible art...in all sense of the word.

I pretty much just remember it randomly snowing. And Karen from Suicide Squad getting herself killed and Booster Gold losing all his money.

I was going to start a thread and ask if this was worth getting. Hooray for the search function.

Not one positive comment....yikes.

Seems to have nice enough art.

I thought the art was pretty terrible too. Joe Staton can be decent, but he was on really bad form in Millenium.

I'm surprised that Millennium got collected in a trade. There couldn't have been much demand for it. It was a reasonably entertaining story at first, until it became about the creation of the New Guardians, a fantastically lame group even by comic book standards:

I've said elsewhere that I suspect that it's a response to Secret Invasion, especially when you throw in the Invasion! trade that's also coming out.

The main gimmick was that the super-hero community had been infiltrated by agents of an alien organization, and characters who'd been in the books for years would turn out to be traitors.
