-For all the shit it gets...
Millennium wasn't bad at all.........
...okay, okay;
HALF of the 1987 Millennium crossover/event wasn't bad. The
other half was pretentious, presumptuous, had too many plot-holes, and led to the truly
horrendous New Guardians comic series. -BUT the Manhunter half of the story-line was
really fucking cool!!! And a lot of neat things happened in the eight issues by Steve Englehart, Joe Staton, and Ian Gibson... too many to go over here. However- for my
100th post; I'd like to share a few of the little things that made me laugh.
In case you're unfamiliar: As the Dalek's say
"Exterminate!", and The Borg say
"Resistance is futile..."; The Manhunter's saying is "No Man Escapes The Manhunters!" and they are in full-on Hail-Hydra-whisper-mode in this part of the story... They've infiltrated the entire DC Universe, replacing high ranking officials and many supporting characters with androids, willing human agents, and/or mind-controlled ones...
And look how progressive, and inclusive, The Manhunters are being! It's good to see that even though they are evil- they're growing as people.
Also, the fact that Martian Manhunter is in the Justice League while all this is happening does not go unreferenced:
J'onn J'onzz: "What!? Nooo... I'm not a *air quotes* Manhunter *air quotes*
What ever gave you that idea? I never have been, or will be, referred to as such."
