why are these better written than the show????

In 'X-Files Season 10 Volume 2' Scully and Mulder find themselves agents again, and just in time to revisit some cases from the past. This issues wasn't a solid graphic novel length story, but contained a few separate ones. In the first, we have some familiar missing persons cases in Martha's Vineyard. Mulder discovers the return (sort of) of Flukeman. In the second story, we also revisit a story from the past. These were both solid episodes in the series and it's not a bad thing to give the fan...

My actual rating is 3.5 stars.Mulder and Scully are back with the FBI and this collection takes us back to various cases that we have seen in the television series. Also, in a flashback, we have several characters that make an appearance that did not have the best ending on the show.Story wise I loved this collection. We have four different stories and they could be classified as your monster of the week episodes. Whether we were dealing with the present or past I thought all four stories evoked...

X-Files Season 10, volume 2 keeps the fun rolling. The X-Files have been reopened and volume 2 starts us off with a blast from the past (both figuratively and literally) as we return the the dusty, isolated office of the TV show and re-encounter a creature from Season 2 of the show, the Flukeman! Following that, the book continues its exploration into past characters who have mysteriously shown up. Overall, the book continues the vibe, but isn't quite as good as the first volume. It does sow som...

The primary lure of The X-Files: Season 10 is its promise to propel the series characters forward and push the show’s grandiose mythology in decidedly new directions. Volume 2 respectably captures the flavor of the departed TV series, and there's a clear sense of forward momentum for many of the characters involved. However, the issues featuring the return of Flukeman, the overgrown mutant platyhelminthe from Season Two's "The Host", indicates an equally strong pull by the show's finely crafted

Much better than volume 1.

Lots of background information about Mulder and Cigarette Smoking Man. Just glad to have the series around in some form or another.

I liked this one more then the first volume. This was a series of shorter stories, much like the "monster" episodes of the X-Files show. First off, we have the return of possibly the coolest X-Files monster of all, The Flukeman, including an origin tale. Then, we learn of a chemical the government created to send people on a murderous rampage. It was tested at a school... Next, Bugs. Roach gods and serial killers cross paths. Finally, we get a loose origin of the Cigarette Smoking Man.This serie...

This season 10 series just gets better and better. Man, I miss this show, but this is the next best thing!*I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley.

At this point this comic decided to follow the original TV formula. In the first volume it introduced us to some new Alien Mythology stuff (main story), while this volume is pretty much all about sub-stories (fillers) and teasers of what's supposed to come later. Technically, it does help this comic to feel more like a TV show. The problem is... it wasn't nineties anymore. And the times when seeing Mulder saying "We're with the FBI!" was cool enough to sell stuff were long gone. Moreover, we alr...

As much as I have nostalgia for the series and I appreciate that this volume included some "monster of the week" type stories, I can't help to feel like this volume presents some of the worst parts of the show, weak mythology stories and weak MOTW stories. Definitely couldn't recommend to those who aren't already big fans of the show.

Reprints The X-Files—Season 10 #6-10 (October 2013-March 2014). Mulder and Scully are back on the X-Files and tracking the weird and unusual. First, they face the return of one of their old cases when the monstrous Flukeman resurfaces…and his origin is revealed! Mulder remembers an old ally and a god rises. Plus, more of the Cigarette Smoking Man’s secrets are revealed as he recalls his past.Written by Joe Harris and illustrated by Elena Casagrande, Silvia Califano, Michael Walsh, Greg Scott, an...

Flukemen!!! Yes, plural.

The second volume of The X-Files: Season 10 series of graphic novels features five chapters, just like its predecessor. Again written by Joe Harris, there is, however, one crucial difference; whereas the first volume features one story spanned across five chapters, the second volume features four stories - "Hosts" (which is a two-part story in which the Flukeman antagonist from the season 2 episode "The Host" returns), "Being for the Benefit of Mr. X" (which, of course, features Mr. X), "Chitter...

Some down right ugly artwork. Jumbled plots. This entire volume is a hot mess.

If the first collected volume of the tenth season of The X-Files was a blockbuster, mythology based two-parter, then this second set of stories is more focused on being your "standard" monster-of-the-week type of stories. Except that these monster of the week stories offer call backs to some of the most memorable and well-regarded monster-of-the-week stories from the original nine year of the series. Starting off with a sequel to the Flukeman story, this collection does a nice job of settling in...

I thought this collection was really strong. I liked it better than the first. I think it was because the first one had a fair amount of "set up" to do to get us back to the X-files. The funny thing about that, though, is really very few of the things set-up in the first arc carried over to the second. There's really just one strand of the story that's followed up. The missing agents weren't even name checked, and no one mentioned that they might still be looking for them. Hopefully it's picked

Mulder and Scully are back in the FBI, learning the new ropes, but still having to look for the "truth". They have two cases in this volume. One dealing with a return of the worm-man from New Jersey only now at Martha's Vineyard causing missing person reports. The second case also involves missing persons, anonymous tips to Mulder, and murder linked with Scully being stalked. Then the Smoking Man narrates strange history that may deal with Mulder's father's involvement in strange activity. A lot...

I found this at my sister's house while pet sitting this weekend and thought I'd help myself to a quick read. It collects short comics, so it's just short stories all self contained in themselves for the most part and then bound together. This should feel like the series, with episodes, but one comic is really just too short to have a beginning, middle, and end for a decent story. I felt like they were all rushed and too disjointed from one another. On top of that, the art was nothing to rave ab...

MONSTER OF THE WEEK! This volume will bring us several different stand-alone stories, and is a much stronger effort that the first volume.Revisit classic MOTW Flukeman? Great! Giving him a revenge-driven backstory? Hmmmm... luckily it's still enjoyable, and where it misfires it at least misfires in a way that's authentic to the show's past misfires.We get a new MOTW that's short but sweet and full of insectile horror, just what the doctor ordered.Both Mr. X and the Cigarette Smoking Man have the...
