More X-Files comics coming

Joe Harris (who over 2013-2016 gave us the Season 10 and 11 comics that this website covered in detail before it was cool*) will be back with more The X-Files comics! No other details yet.

Facebook announcementt by Joe Harris:

NBD, just announced THE X-FILES return to comics at the Dynamite Comics panel at Comic-con! Watch this space for more details coming soon…!!

Now, will this be more Mulder & Scully adventures? During his own canon? During the show’s live revival? Post-revival? (Post-Perihelion?) Will it focus on Coogler’s new duo Patel/Deadwyler? These are small steps, but there seems to be a marketing push from Disney/Fox/Hulu, increasing the visibility of the TXF brand in preparation of the relaunch around the Coogler reboot project. Time will only tell if this will pay off in anything interesting.

*: Aside from any issues with the artwork which was simple at times, and the fan service that could have been toned down a bit, the mythology presented in Seasons 10 and 11 of the comics held up much, much better than Carter’s revival — and on top of that, they told a conclusive story that gave the mythology an ending! That being said, I think we’ve covered all the ground there was to cover by now…

  • 1478 pieces
  • plenty of inside jokes and details (there’s a puddle of Black Oil for example)
  • figurines of Scully, Mulder, grey alien, Flukeman, Skinner, CSM (as “Carl Busch” in the description, and only hardcore fans will recognize the name! I guess because the word cigarette cannot be mentioned, and indeed he doesn’t have a cigarette), Krycek, and Mr. X
  • 200 $ or € (expensive hobby!)
  • Scully’s Lab as extra gift with puchase (while stocks are available, which means just a few days)

IWTB Director’s Cut: Vrach Frankenshteyn

io9 announcement: “The R-Rated Director’s Cut of ‘The X-Files’ Movie Has a Title and Release Date”

Non-clickbait title: The X-Files: “I Want to Believe Vrach Frankenshteyn” coming August 14 on Hulu and Disney+. As previously announced, an R-rated cut reworked by Chris Carter.

Spoiler: this means “Doctor Frankenstein” in Russian. A reference to the plot and perhaps to what Carter did, resurrecting an 18-year-old movie with discarded parts.

Disney+ announcement:

Experience the brand new, never-before-seen R-rated Chris Carter Director’s Cut, faithfully restoring the filmmaker’s original vision. When a group of women are mysteriously abducted, it becomes a case right out of The X-Files™. Years after walking away from the FBI, Fox Mulder and Dr. Dana Scully are pulled back from the shadows when a federal agent vanishes without a trace. In a case you’d never see on TV, their only lead is a disgraced, defrocked priest claiming to have horrific psychic visions of the crime. Forced to confront the ghosts of their past, the partners must navigate a chilling winter landscape and an even darker human monstrosity. The truth of these crimes is out there somewhere… and it will take Mulder and Scully to find it.

How different will it be? Will it make use of images in the original trailer that were cut from the final release? Will this get a physical release? Will this be the last new material we will see of Mulder and Scully?

“Knock, knock. It’s the Deep State, coming to take your liberties and impose the New Smoking Order.” Happy birthday USA, global provider of conspiracy theories since at least 1947!

And a special Facebook page update: just crossed 3000+ followers! Not bad for a home-grown one-man-show no-budget page on a 30+ years old TV show, and on this ageing and AI-infested platform. Thank you for your trust on all things .

Disclosure Day

As I was watching Disclosure Day, it was impossible not to think of The X-Files. Of course both tap from similar UFOlogy sources and Spielberg was himself in turn an influence on TXF, but the similarities here are even greater — to the point where Disclosure Day could easily be reimagined as a possible resolution for the series’ mythology, a finale film that never was! Mulder and Scully bringing disclosure and changing the world would have been a nice ending, even though the world’s relationship with news and objective truth has become so complicated since the 1990s that I’m not sure if this wish fulfillment from Spielberg can still deeply touch people. Sure, there are some issues with the film’s script, the film hardly breaks any new ground, the positivity around empathy is more Spielbergian than Carterian, and you might have your own ideas on who is manipulating who with this whole UAP business. However, consider all the images I attach here, and I won’t say more to avoid spoilers: common points go from the generic to the very specific…

RIP Charles Cioffi

Actor Charles Cioffi died on May 22 aged 90 (Deadline article).

The X-Files fans know him as FBI Section Chief Scott Blevins, who recruited Scully in the 1X79: Pilot. He appeared again in 1X03: Conduit and came back years later in the momentous 4X24: Gethsemane / 5X02-03: Redux trilogy.

I think his character could have been used more in the series, but he was a busy actor in theatre, TV and movies. Most relevant for TXF, he was the main antagonist in one of the big paranoid thrillers of the 1970s, Klute, where he acted opposite Donald Sutherland and Jane Fonda. I am guessing that Carter cast him because of that role.
