I liked this one more then the first volume. In brief, this volume is a bit of a mixed bag, but reading it will certainly rekindle one's love for the series.more There's a surrealism to the artwork in that last issue that complements the surrealistic nature of The X-Files.
The overall style and imagery of the last story, which delves into the Cigarette-Smoking Man's background and his latest resurrection, is quite different from the preceding entries. At times the duo would appear considerably younger on one page and older on the next. The artwork is suitably moody and the show's iconic characters are all easily discernible, though the depictions of Mulder and Scully in the first four tales (they are not featured in the final story) seem rather inconsistent from page to page. The end result of Season 10 amounts to little more than self-serving fan-fiction, a nostalgic throwback to past glories.Įach of the five collected stories was fashioned from different artists with very disparate styles.

Even the TV show rarely resorted to sequel episodes, "Kitsunegari" and "Orison" being the obvious exceptions. Earlier comic incarnations of The X-Files, namely the 90s adaptation by Topps, favored original stories with relatively few nods to the broadcast series.

Mulder was able to save Scully in the nick of time, and Tooms was submitted to psychiatric care. Tooms stole special tokens from each person he killed, so when Mulder found Scully’s necklace in Tooms’ nest he knew that she was his next victim.

Because of his popularity, this classic monster was one of the rare villains to get two episodes devoted to him: “Squeeze” and “Tooms,” both in Season 1. Tooms had the frightening ability to contort his body into the tightest of spaces, a power he used every 30 years to murder people and eat their livers. In our recent poll that asked Gold Derby readers to name their favorite “ The X-Files” monster of all time, genetic mutant Eugene Victor Tooms squeezed past his competition to come out on top.
