One of my soft goals this year was to tackle a bit of my comics back-log from Humble Bundles. Here's my first attempt.
Fun tie-in. We get two stories tied together across decades, the earlier one covered by Mulder and Scully's predecessors. (Apparently, other X-Files IDW comics feature these two: Ohio and Ellinson. At least one was also in the bundle, so Hooray!)
I love how the predecessors' story switches to an early comics art style.
My one real beef is with how Scully's portrayed. I'm not sure when this is supposed to be set, but she seems to have lost most of her skepticism. At least once, she offers up a Mulder-style conclusion first thing, with Mulder standing right there. Eh. It was still good.
Like I implied, I'm eager to read more of these comics.

It was fun! Not the best X-Files story I've ever read, but I'd still recommend it.

The origin of the X-Files. What more do you need to start reading this book? The art is fantastic and so are the dialogues. Perfect weekend read for those who like the X Files. Strictly for them only.

The story (and characters that we're very familiar with) took some weird, illogical turns, even for The X-Files. But not enough can be said about the mix of modern noir/pulp noir artwork.
