In the wake of the revival coming next year (and in the midst of a re-watch of the series) I thought it'd be fun to pick this up and give it a go. It's a quick read. I think I might have finished in an hour and some change? But I enjoyed it overall. The "voices" of the characters are pretty in tact, though I think Scully could be beefed up a bit in that area. But that might be partly because we don't get to see much of her sense of humor here, yet. And that's partly to do with what's happening i...

It's impressive how close to the show this trade was, however, the atmospherics just weren't there. Dialogue, check. The cast, check. The Chris Carter sense of foreboding and paranoia...not there. Still though, this was highly entertaining and I'll probably return at some point down the road.

Sooo...WOW! That was fun and I've just got to get the scratch together to buy the rest of the series, as I now have more questions than I had before.

This is probably only for hardcore X-Files devotees.

A continuation of the television series and a prequel to the six episode event that is soon to be released. In this collection, Scully and Fox are hiding out when they get a visit from Skinner. Scully's son is in danger and next thing you know Scully and Fox are in the middle of it once again.This was a nice collection and it did remind me of the television series. This collection is definitely geared toward the serious fans as casual fans would probably consider this a muddled mess. In typical

arc provided by IDW Publishing through netgalleyOkay, I know I totally signed up for this once I downloaded it from Netgalley, but I spent the whole story going, "I DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS!" because OH MY GOD.We all have our favourite X Files episodes, you know, the creepiest ones, like Home - with the amputee mother kept under a bed who kept popping out babies conceived by boinking her own deformed sons. I remember closing the shutters that night and screaming my lungs out because my cat

I would only recommend this to hard core fans of the show. Even with a very good understanding of the show, I was lost at times. Especially with these alien hybrids who acted more like a cult wearing cloaks and ritual knives. I'm still puzzled how that part fit in (I get the alien hybrid part obviously, just not why they acted like a satanic cult.) The art did a good job of capturing the likenesses of the actors, but not so great a job of always displaying what was happening.

This premiere volume, collecting the first five issues of The X-Files: Season 10, is set roughly a decade after the series ended. Former FBI agents Mulder and Scully are living a quiet existence together—that is, until Deputy Director Skinner shows up with a new threat. Scully soon finds that she has a personal stake in the case when it appears that the child she secretly put up for adoption may be in danger.Much as I appreciate Joe Harris' attempts to bring back beloved characters who perished

Following the success of several Whedon-verse series continuing their run in the pages of comics (Buffy, Angel and Firefly), it was probably only a matter of time until other comic publishers looked to other niche genre series from the same era. And with The X-Files celebrating its twentieth anniversary this fall, the time is ripe for special agents Mulder and Scully to return.And so it is that we have the first collection of the new tenth season of The X-Files. The first five issues of the seri...

The X-Files: Season 10, Vol. 1 is a graphic novel 10th season of the television series (which had a less than interesting 9th season). Favorite characters are back (even ones thought completely gone). The graphic novel feels like a complete episode. For fans of the show, like me, it's a welcome return.This story takes place about 10 years after the series ended. Scully and Mulder have retired from the FBI, but Agent Skinner shows up with a new threat. It seems that the child Dana Scully secretly...

Yes! This comic series picks up where the TV series left off. Mulder and Scully have been living together away from the FBI, but when a group of aliens attempt to locate Scully's half-alien baby (or something like that), they are drawn back into the X-Files. The new agents make an appearance as well as The Lone Gunmen (another YES! Turns out they are alive after all! I always liked the characters, and didn't mind this bit of "retconning" one bit!)Overall a nice, creepy story to kick off the "nex...

Nobody wants to see glossy, beautiful drawings of Mulder and Scully more than I do. And I'm always up for plotlines that involve the massive caldera underneath Yellowstone. And this book really, truly smells amazing. But this book is total nonsense.

I remember, when I was 10 or maybe 11, that my best friends used to get grounded for bad grades, breaking sewing machines or sneaking into the local mosque to swap the morning prayer tape for a Michael Jackson mixtape (true story). I used to get punished for staying up late at night on school nights to watch The X-Files. The subtleties of the show used to go straight over my head but the "monster of the week" concept was so utterly fascinating, I was willing to risk my monthly allowance to have

The X-files is a cult classic and was and still is one of the most iconic television shows ever broadcast. So obviously, like many other popular shows, it didn't end when it stopped airing. It's my absolute all time favorite show and I've been meaning to get my hands on these comics sooner or later. I really enjoyed the story, we revisit the mythology and we get to see old favorites. The BEST thing about the X-files is the conspiracy theories and the aliens (which is why, in my opinion, the seco...

This is absolutely fantastic! As a major X-Files fan (fantastic!) I adored this beginning of Season 10. The tv show ran for 9 seasons ending in 2002 and chronologically this first volume of season 10 takes place 10 years later picking up with a plausible storyline. I'm not going to give any details but everything comes together to continue the main plot of the series with the aliens and conspiracy themes. Great joy also as so many familiar faces return to the pages and people who were supposedly...

Well written, atmospheric X-Files tale that successfully evokes the characters on the printed page. Fans will not be disappointed. Potential readers unfamiliar with the mythos or the show itself who might want to give the X-Files a try ahead of the returning series would be much better served watching the actual series from the start. As a long time fan of the show I appreciated the quick pace of this arc which doesn't waste time trying to indoctrinate new fans. As a result, the nuances will be

So I'm not a huge fan of the comic book genre or graphic novels for the most part and there are aspects of the series that are "too comic booky" as Carter explained it. But it's still fun to have The X-Files in pretty much any format. I liked it.

Ooh, I am so excited for the second volume of this! Any new X-Files story is a good one! :) I love that they brought back Doggett and Reyes!

As you probably know, the original X-Files run that ended with season nine in 2002, had one of the most unsatisfying endings ever. Even though it's hard to imagine nineties without FBI agents Mulder and Scully, pretty much everything in their show ended in the most pathetic you can ever imagine. Years later, Chris Carter and Co would try to resurrect the show. Which will only lead in even bigger fiasco. This comic is something that happened after the final season of the original run and the actu...

I remember being a bit confused at the direction the mythology was taking in season 10 but just being so happy to see Mulder and Scully again that it didn't matter that the return of The X-Files was kind of an uneven and not altogether satisfying thing. Executive produced and overseen somewhat by Chris Carter, the writing chores for the new series were given to Joe Harris who worked off of ideas from the creator himself. To be fair, I like a lot of what Joe Harris does with the story and charact...
