Review
Well now, the whole gang is slowly coming back now, aren't they?

Bring in Doggett, the Lone Gunmen, and next issue's guest of the Smoking Man and it is like some great reunion tour!

I recently have been catching some of the old episodes, which some hold up better than the others after many years. It is a pretty awesome experience when I read the character's word balloons and their voices just pop right into my head. It is also good that the art just matches perfectly with what I would want from an X-Files comic.

I find it strange that I'm noticing the name Jordie Bellaire as the colorist for a lot of the books I'm reading. It just can't be a strange coincidence that I'm enjoying the art with each comic as well, can it?

My only real complaint about the issue is how much of a quick read this feels. The hits just keep on coming and the story is advancing at such a pace that it keeps of with the rapid pace the show had. Bang bang bang. There is a nice collaboration between the words and the art that is perfectly set up to deliver the book in this manner.

It will be interesting to see where this book goes once all the major players are re-established and introduced. I think the idea I like most behind continuing the story in this form is that you give X-files an unlimited budget with an artist that can pull off some great work. My hope is that the comic book medium is something is taken advantage of by the creators and they continue to tell a fast paced, high action story.
