Millennium #7

Week 7 of DC's ambitious 1988 crossover event arrives with a cover that earns its subtitle "The Assault" — Joe Staton and Bruce Patterson pack the image with a sweeping wave of DC heroes charging through a cosmic portal, with Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and a host of others surging forward while a group of heavily armed adversaries meets them head-on in the foreground. The sheer density of characters on this cover communicates the all-hands-on-deck scale that made Millennium one of the more ambitious events of its era. Steve Englehart, Joe Staton, and Ian Gibson bring the penultimate chapter of this weekly saga to a boil.
