Joe Harris “X-Files
Season 10 Volume 1” (IDW, 2013)
I don’t know exactly where the trend for cancelled TV shows
to continue on in the world of comics started, but the X-Files are the latest
show to give it a try. It’s a great idea
actually. The production costs are
lower, availability and aging of the cast doesn’t matter. But the story can continue for the fans.
That seems to be the crucial thing right there. Like the rest of these projects, Season 10 is for the fans. If you aren’t already a fan of the show, just
put it down and walk away. This comic
isn’t for you. On the other hand, if you
were a fan, this may just give you a fix you probably didn’t even realize that
you were wanting.
This volume is really all about getting the various
characters in play, so – in classic X-Files fashion—it’s difficult to tell what
really going on here. But Harris is getting ALL FOUR investigators (plus the
supporting characters) in play, and that takes some set up.
For someone who has watched all the show and even thinks
those final seasons were better than you think (don’t judge me), this was fun
fun stuff. I’m looking forward to seeing
where Harris takes our favorite FBI agents.
In a medium where we don’t have to worry about the cost of effects,
literally the cosmos are the limit!
