Review/plot:
This is an Assistant Editors' Month issue, but instead of going the zany route, Assistant Editor Linda Grant uses the event as an opportunity to focus a story on Misty Knight and Colleen Wing.

The plot removes Power Man & Iron Fist early in the story...

...and Knight and Wing go after the germ-powered guy named Impasse who infected their friends.

The whole thing is actually manipulated by the spy Vienna.

Caesar Cicero is also being harassed by Impasse.

It's not exactly a great story, but it's nice to see the Daughters of the Dragon get top billing.

Obviously unintentional, but Impasse looks extremely similar to Archangel, who will premiere his look about four years after this.
