8. “Forget-Me-Not, Part 2”

Writer: Tony Bedard
Artist: Karl Moline

Good god I love Sunfire. He’s such a phenomenally great character. Oh right, this is supposed to be a Rogue comic. And Rogue tracks down Sunfire and attacks him, convinced that he was the one who sicced Lady Deathstrike on her.

In order to find the truth, she touches him and absorbs his entire life’s story. And we get a lot of wonderful Sunfire backstory. It is very good and I love it. Bedard writes a very good Sunfire and honestly it seems like he just wants to be writing a Sunfire book. The duo team up to figure out who’s behind everything. Even though it’s definitely Silver Samurai.

I will say that there are occasional lines and moments that feel like they don’t represent Japanese culture that well or that accurately buuuuuuut as a white American I’m not gonna claim it’s racist or problematic and will leave that to individual interpretation. Story’s good so far though.
