The Milksops review "Marvel Comics Assistant Editor's Month," one of the first crossover events Marvel ever did. Here's what happened: For comics dated January 1984, readers were told that the assistant editors had been given reign over the content since the regular editors were away at San Diego ComicCon. Some comics took this as an excuse to do very far-out stories (Marvel Team-Up featured Galactus and Aunt May), whereas some did only very small changes (Moon Knight has a typewritten letter from the assistant editor instead of a splash page) and others completely ignored it! But for those reading at that time, it was a striking and dare we say pretty fun event. Kevin theorizes that modern fans would dislike it. In fact, the readers of 1984 didn't seem to like it too much either. But here we are, discussing it anyway!
