Summary (from http://milestone.luthor.com/comics_detail.asp?ID=58&):

Rob Chaplik witnesses a confrontation between Holocaust and Tech-9. Tech-9 wins and Holocaust leaves with a big chip on his shoulder. Introduction of Dogg and we have first glimpse of BoogieMan and Mom as a disenchanted Brickhouse is attacked by Mom's soldiers. Also first stories of the spiked tear gas at the Big Bang.
