Yeah, but it was the first second issue cliffhanger, and then the followup. So two issues, super-compressed into one scene.
Either way, in the comic, Wolverine does not grow up with anyone who could remotely be sabretooth past age 10 or so, when he and Rose flees - so the movie and the comic cannot both be accurate.
I know; I was unsurprised they'd merged Sabretooth and Dog, but I did blink when I realised he was actually filling Rose's part as well.
But there are so many differences between the comics and the movies that it never occured to me they were supposed to be set in the same continuity. Mostly they try to keep the main themes the same, and gloss over the rest.
It annoyed me a ridiculous amount...it was so unneccesary!! And made absolutely no sense. Kayla was native american, with the last name Silverfox, Emma is white, blonde, and upper class, with the last name Frost. Half sisters is the closest it gets to believeable, and even then, why do it at all? Why not just let Kayla be dead - the plot would have worked just as well, but been slightly less unnecessarily twisty and crowded.
Well, because that's how the story goes. Wolverine wants revenge on Sabretooth for killing Silver Fox, then it turns out he didn't and he's rather poleaxed. That's a brilliant scene when he realises how far back Stryker was manipulating him; he's angrier than ever, but he's lost his justification for killing him.
It could have been more complex; in the comics her and Logan's cabin in the mountains was actually a soundstage at Weapon X, with Logan pumped full of drugs to make him suggestable. I forget why, exactly. She went on to run a terrorist organisation called HYDRA.

But yes, you're right about Emma.
