Might I add: Menton 3, I am in awe of your Cigarette Smoking Man. Besides, we get all the wonderful covers for different artists takes on X-Files characters. After all, you want to be able to see and recognize the characters, and you don’t want to go with anyone to experimental, in fear you’d scare off fans of the show. It looks like quite the backhand too! Anyway, the art does its job, and while a more unique artist might have given a nice flair to the series, Walsh’s brand of art works well. And holy s-t, this has the most epic panel where Mulder gets bitch-slapped by the Cigarette Smoking Man. Still, he gets the important likenesses down (send your hate mail to…) like Mulder, Scully, Skinner, Lone Gunman, and Cigarette Smoking Man. I’ve heard likenesses are hard to do, so I can forgive him for Agent Reyes, (and really, what do I care? He could have made her 400 pounds I hated that character). Which allows my to segue quite nicely into the art by Michael Walsh. Even though he was obviously going to be in the issue, because he’s on three of the four covers. As a bitter X-Files nerd, it gives me great pleasure to inform you that not only does Agent Doggett get killed off, but in this issue, Reyes gets killed off too! Hooray! Besides that, I straight up fanboy gushed when the Cigarette Smoking Man got his reveal in the backseat of Mulder’s car.

Joe Harris, with the blessing of Chris Carter (Judging by Carter’s panel manner at SDCC he just shrugged and went “whatever, do it, I guess,”) keeps this crazy train-a-rollin’.
