'''''Millennium''''' was a DC Comics [[Crisis Crossover|crossover]] miniseries published in the year 1988... twelve years before the actual millennium change. The basic concept was that the [[Guardian of the Multiverse|Guardians Of The Universe]] chose ten humans to father the next race that will take over their duties, and they ask Earth's heroes to protect them from the Manhunters, a race of [[Ridiculously-Human Robots|androids]] with a grudge against the Guardians. Things get more complicated when it turns out that the Manhunters have infiltrated the personal lives of all of the heroes.
Often considered among the worst of DC's crossovers, due to a variety of factors, but mainly because of a confusing number of tie-ins (56 issues!), blatant and inexplicable retcons, and a group of Chosen Ones that were largely unlikable ethnic stereotypes. [[Your Mileage May Vary]]. Its [[Spin-Off]], [[The New Guardians]], didn't get much better, but [[Narm Charm|at least]] featured Snow Flame, a villain who got his powers from cocaine use, and The Hemo-Goblin, a vampire who gave people AIDS when he bit them.
Not to be confused with the TV series ''[[Millennium (TV series)|Millennium]]'', the movie of the same name, or any other turn-of-the-century projects.

* [[A.I. Is a Crapshoot]]: The Manhunters, obviously.
* [[Anticlimax]]: After all that build up, at the end of the series, when the moment comes for the Chosen to [[Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence|be transformed]], they become... your average superheroes.
