I nice transitional two-parter bridging the events of these two major Doom arcs. Doom shows up in a form he doesn't normally appear in, as a teen. Seeing a young and relatively innocent Doom playing with Valeria is pretty tragic. This hardly deserves rating as its only two brief cameos. That said, the two issues are essential reading for those who wish to grasp the entire story. Strongly recommended reading. Bottom Line: N/A
