New ‘X-Files’ Series Coming From IDW!

It’s not the TV reboot that has been rumoured lately (and that I’m immensely hoping for), but this is still pretty exciting.

IDW is launching a new monthly X-Files series. Sure, it’s set after the underwhelming events of I Want to Believe, but I’ve got high hopes for this one. The new series is set to launch this June, while reprints of older books (released between 1995 and 2009) will be released before then.

From the press release:

Over two movies and two hundred television episodes, THE X-FILES, is a juggernaut of science fiction-tinged intrigue, unique characters and carefully constructed stories. The show’s popularity raged into the comic world, seeing successful series mounted by publishers Topps and Wildstorm. Despite this, new publishing has not been available since 2009’s joint Wildstorm/IDW crossover – 30 Days of Night/The X-Files – leaving fans without a venue for the continuing sequential adventures of Mulder and Scully… until now.

 

No word yet on who will write or illustrate the new book. Are you excited for this? Or would you prefer that Mulder and Scully stay retired?
