7. “Forget-Me-Not, Part 1”

Writer: Tony Bedard
Artist: Karl Moline

Well I’ll be darned, this was pretty fun.

I have historically not been a huge fan of Tony Bedard as a writer but this was good. The story is simple: Japanese superhero and one-time X-Man Sunfire is revealed as being supposedly a traitor in a photo of him, Rogue and Mystique during Rogue’s brotherhood days. But Rogue doesn’t remember it being taken. And neither does Sunfire. So she heads off to Japan to help him solve this mystery.

But Silver Samurai, although pretending to be on Sunfire’s side, is actually sabotaging him and working with Lady Deathstrike. I joked that this book is better the less it’s about Rogue but it’s kinda true. This is a great setup for an arc and I’m excited to see where it goes.
