The truth is out there! Mulder and Scully’s investigations of the paranormal and supernatural are back! The X-Files will be reopened in brand new and recollected comic books from IDW Publishing and Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products.
IDW’s publishing plan includes reprinting collections of the classic issues published intermittently from 1995 through 2009 and creating brand-new X-FILES comics to launch in June 2013.
“THE X-FILES is a classic property that helped redefine fans’ expectations for the science-fiction and horror genres,” said IDW’s President/Chief Operating Officer Greg Goldstein. “The possibilities for new comic stories are virtually unlimited!”
“The fans of THE X-FILES have remained loyal to the series since its conclusion. What better way to continue the show’s legacy and give back to them than through new stories in a different medium,” said Jeffrey Godsick, President of Fox Consumer Products. “IDW has worked with a number of our Fox properties, and we know they’re going to do great things with these iconic characters.”
“Few shows have captured the zeitgeist and fans’ imaginations like THE X-FILES, and fewer shows still have left people hungry for more in the way this one did,” said Chris Ryall, IDW’s Chief Creative Officer/Editor-in-Chief. “Our new series will be picking up where the second film left off, which will hopefully be as exciting for fans to read as it is for us to develop.”
The big question: who would you like to see write a new X-Files series?
