The fate of a Chosen, and the two earliest Manhunters make their presence felt

One of the key problems of the Millennium event as a whole was that so much of the story was told outside of the main book. Blue Beetle #20 is the first book to give a major plot beat that arguably should have played out in the main book. Instead, it went the other way around with Millennium #2 covering Beetle’s meeting with his Manhunter almost as much as his own title does!

The issue actually takes only three pages to tell the story of Blue Beetle’s battle with his Manhunter agent, Overthrow. He makes quick work of the jai alai-inspired villain but abandons capturing him in order to answer a Justice League distress signal.
