Description

As the transformations continue, Herupa and Nadia become progressively weaker and seem on the verge of collapse. Hal Jordan and Mr. Miracle try to help them, but the immortals brush them aside. Floro, the former Floronic Man, being already transformed, does not need the Oans' infusion of power. At last only Tom Kalmaku is left, and he refuses to accept the change, choosing his own responsibilities as a family man.

Millennium was a first for D.C., a weekly series with what was supposed to have a lasting impact. After the series ended it was pretty much forgotten.

The plot involved the Guardians calling together a massive assemblage of super-heroes to meet at the Green Lantern Citadel in Santa Monica. Once there the Guardians tell them that the Millennium is upon them, and the people of Earth play an important role in the universe's future.

Humanity is evolving and the Guardians and Zamarons want the super-heroes of Earth to protect a group of humans they call The Chosen- this group will help to usher in a new era of humanity.

They warn the heroes that their ancient adversaries the Manhunters will stop at nothing to see that the Chosen are destroyed. The heroes agree to do everything in their power to track down and protect the Chosen.

As each hero returns to their respective home towns, they begin to discover that someone very near to them is actually a Manhunter sleeper agent.

After the series ended a couple titles, notably The Flash, carried some of the story forward within its own continuity. Otherwise The Chosen were forgotten and never appeared again.

However, one of it's greatest legacies is the great art created by Joe Staton.

This piece was originally published in February 1988.

Millennium came out the first year I started collecting comics. So it was my first "event" story. And I was hooked! Great emotionally-charged page.
