Review
Yea, I'm game for this book.

I was a fan of the show from way back when. I haven't had the time or inkling to re-watch it on Netflix just because I think I'll find it horribly dated. But brand new adventures in comic book form with an artist I like? Now this is something I can get into.

This series has a clever way of scaling back things to keep the feel of the early years of the TV show. No big alien plans of grandeur or anything like this, let's keep things simple with a nice set up and execute the story well.

There are a few points of creepiness that the art really sells for me. One is the look on the little girl's face as she talks with Scully and the off-tilt with her head just hits that button that activates the hairs on the back of my neck to stick up.

I read through the book with the eye of a new-comer to the series and let's just say that even though it says Season 10 on the cover, this is a story that does a great set up and hits all the points that it needs to when informing readers of who each character is and what runs their motivation.

I'll give this to Joe Harris as well - I easily heard each character's voice as I read the story. Between the vernacular and just the rhythm to their words, I felt very much like this is a great continuation. Throw in the great artwork by Walsh and this book honestly couldn't have been better. This book is easily going to be added to the pull list.
