X-Files/Millennium

Joe Harris wraps up Gibson Praise saga in truncated ‘X-Files: Season 11’ (Comic book reviews)

April 25, 2016April 16, 2021 John Hansen Comic Books

IDW’s “X-Files: Season 11 comic series (August 2015-March 2016) is the latest epic story to get truncated due to outside commercial forces. Usually, those outside forces are bad (see the cancellation of TV’s “Angel” and “Dollhouse” […]

April 24, 2016April 16, 2021 John Hansen Christmas

While the 2014 Annual and X-Mas Special featured multiple standalone yarns in each issue, IDW takes a different tactic with the 2015 installments, part of the new Season 11 banner. Both issues feature one double-length story, and […]

‘X-Files’ flashback: IDW’s ‘Millennium’ miniseries (2015) (Comic book review)

April 20, 2016April 16, 2021 John Hansen Comic Books

While “The X-Files” was spun off into novels as far back as 1994 and into comics in 1995, its sister series, “Millennium” (1996-99), didn’t transition to another medium until 2015, 16 years after it left the airwaves. […]

‘X-Files’ flashback: IDW’s ‘Year Zero’ miniseries (2014) (Comic book review)

April 14, 2016April 16, 2021 John Hansen Comic Books

The origin of the FBI’s X-Files was somewhat convoluted in the TV series, and it becomes more convoluted in the five-issue miniseries “X-Files: Year Zero” (2014) — but also more compelling. This second miniseries tying in with […]

March 25, 2016April 16, 2021 John Hansen Comic Books

This final batch of IDW’s “X-Files” Season 10 comics continues the slight downward trend since the series’ beginning but provides a kinda, sorta satisfying wrap-up – and also a cliffhanger leading into Season 11, fitting with the […]

‘X-Files’ flashback: IDW’s Season 10 Issues 10-17 (2014) (Comic book reviews)

March 22, 2016April 16, 2021 John Hansen Comic Books

After a strong first nine issues, IDW’s “X-Files” Season 10 comics hit a dip in quality from Issues 10-17 (2014). On my first read, this was the point where I started to sour a bit on Joe […]

‘X-Files’ flashback: IDW’s Season 10 Issues 1-9 (2013-14) (Comic book reviews)

March 20, 2016April 16, 2021 John Hansen Comic Books

IDW’s “X-Files” Season 10 comics mark the first time Chris Carter has a story credit on an “X-Files” comic – he co-wrote Issues 1-5, “Believers,” with series helmer Joe Harris – but, ironically, IDW’s series now […]

‘X-Files’ flashback: ‘X-Files’/‘30 Days of Night’ (2010-11) (Comic book review)

March 14, 2016April 16, 2021 John Hansen Comic Books

As a fan delves deeper into his favorite TV series, he’ll inevitably start to wander down the rabbit hole of crossovers. In addition to the obvious connections to “Millennium” and “The Lone Gunmen,” “The X-Files” […]
