This is vintage X-Files and a great treat for fans who have missed all of their favorite players. Scully and Mulder are featured, with a lot of Deputy Director Skinner around to add some narrative coherence. Doggett and Reyes make brief appearances. Especially nice is a featured role for the Lone Gunmen. And to wrap it all up, literally since the stories always end with him talking to some unidentified fellow conspirator, there is The Smoking Man.
The book is very similar to a full TV episode, both in the substance of the story, (shady threats, abduction, searches, chases, who's-the-good-guy?, what are they up to?), and the structure of the story - threat to Scully, Skinner pops up, attempted rescue by Mulder, help from the Lone Gunmen, Smoking Man cryptic "explanations", creepy bad guys, a larger conspiracy, chases through wilderness, action sequence, weird unknown stuff at the end, confusing summary/wrapup with a cliff-hanger. You know the drill. And you love it, don't you?
The book is strongest on plot, reasonable adherence to the X-Files style, dialogue, and sometimes the drawing. The illustrations are sort of unpredictable in that sometimes the characters look like the characters you know and remember and sometimes they just look somewhat like those characters, often switching from one to the other from panel to panel. It is harder to draw comics featuring live actors you recognize instead of stylized characters, but it can be a bit unnerving to occasionally not recognize who's who in a panel. On balance, though, this is a minor quibble and doesn't detract from one's general enjoyment of the book or one's pleasure in seeing everyone back in action.
Be careful when ordering.
I was never a massive X-Files fan because I was always more than a little squeamish in my younger days. However I did have a long term girlfriend who was obsessed with Fox Mulder (no, not the actor himself, just the character on the show) so I have seen far more of the series than I really wanted to. Twenty years later it has finally been worthwhile because I was able to read and understand this entire comic without having to look up who the heck everyone was every few minutes.
This comic does exactly what I think it is designed to do; it feels like a double length episode of the show. You can really hear the voices of the actors as you read through the comic and nothing feels out of character or out of place. There is one thing however that does feel inconsistent with the series, but I can explain why. In the program the minor characters would show up every so often, not interfering with each episode, but appearing when they were needed. Reading this in one go feels like they squeezed all the minor characters into one episode because they were contractually obligated to do so. To be honest that is a symptom of reading this as a trade rather than individual issues. If I had read it as it came out the minor characters would have shown up once a month with a possible overflow a bit into the next issue, but it certainly would not have felt compressed and forced. In this way the volume feels like both a single episode and quarter of a series all in one go, telling the one story but stretched out.
This comic is fine and on its own it is solid enough, but it is merely passing over the same concepts and same stale plots that the TV series and films did. For those that have been craving more X-files this is a decent enough book and I would recommend that you get it.
