Remember to Forget is a feature where I spotlight comic book stories that I wish I could forget, but I can’t, so I instead share them with you all, so you’re stuck in the same boat as me! Today, we look at how the X-titles centered a 12-part crossover on a mystery that it didn’t even resolve.
Something I talk about quite a bit is the fallacy that getting a “Will they or won’t they?” couple together hurts the narrative of a TV show. I think that that is plainly false, and so much of it has to do with shows equating Moonlighting falling apart in its fourth season to the fact that Maddie and David, one of the most prominent “Will they or won’t they?” couples in TV history, got together at the end of season three. If you actually watched the show, though, you’ll see that there were SO VERY MANY problems with Moonlighting in its fourth season, and the fact that Maddie and David had gotten together was not the issue at all (granted, the fact that they HAD gotten together DID exacerbate the other problems, but that was just happenstance – Cybill Shepherd had to leave the show for maternity leave in Season 4, so right after Maddie and David got together, the show had to split them up for months. The show never recovered from the terrible plots it came up with to explain their distance).
The villainous Stryfe, the leader of the Mutant Liberation Front, made his debut in New Mutants #87 (by Louise Simonson, Rob Liefeld, and Bob Wiacek), the same issue that Cable famously made his debut in…
