Chris Carter returns to
Executive-Produce "Season 10"
San Diego, CA (March 3, 2013) - Fans of The X-FILES and the paranormal exploits of Special Agents Mulder and Scully are in for a treat! Today at Emerald City Comic-Con, IDW Publishing and Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products announced the creative team for their upcoming comics based on the legendary television series. The entire project will be executive produced by THE X-FILES creator Chris Carter, who is returning in an active role to help steer his characters back to the forefront of popular culture once again.
THE X-FILES: SEASON 10 will be written
by Joe Harris, writer of the acclaimed
series Great Pacific, with art and colors by
theComeback team of artist Michael
Walsh and colorist Jordie
Bellaire. Issue #1 will feature covers
by Dave Johnson, Joe
Corroney, and Carlos Valenzuela,
along with a classic photo image of Mulder and Scully.
"It was already an incredibly exciting prospect to tell stories set
after the second THE X-FILES movie,
especially after Joe Harris worked up
such a great plan in that regard," said Chris
Ryall, IDW's Chief Creative Officer/Editor-in-Chief. "But
my excitement level went off the charts after a meeting
with Chris Carter, where he agreed to come
aboard and executive produce our Season 10. In much the same
way Joss Whedon steered
our Angel: After the Fall series, Chris has
graciously returned to do the same here. What do THE
X-FILES look like in this increasingly paranoid and
untrusting post-Wikileaks era? Well, they look like canon to me...
and come June, the rest of the world will be able to see it for
themselves, too."
In the opening story arc, "Believers," readers will catch up with
Dana Scully and Fox Mulder, living normal lives together under
secret identities. However, a visit from an old friend threatens to
rip them from suburban anonymity, as they learn that someone is
preying upon everyone involved in THE
X-FILES. Prepare to revisit familiar faces-some very
unexpected, threats old and new, and an intriguing mystery designed
to return the beloved franchise to its former glory!
THE X-FILES: SEASON 10 launches this June
when fans everywhere can enjoy a new supernatural experience.
THE X-FILES: SEASON 10 #1 (FC, 32 pages,
