continuing to casually collect baby doom panels and he’s sooo cute and smiley in this one... they are BABIES

obsessed with one of val’s earliest memories being witness to her one dad shooting a teen version of her other dad with a laser cannon

also I....think it’s the same artist for this issue AND dinner with doom?? which gives it a cute sense of consistency

this issue also another example of me again overpowering mark waid by sheer force of will. mark will be like “here’s reed shooting doom to get his DNA—“ and I’ll be like “oh so he can have a lock of his hair as a treasured keepsake? thanks that’s incredibly romantic of him”
