It’s an exciting time for fans of The X-Files, with a reboot from Black Panther director Ryan Coogler quickly coming together, Chris Carter’s director’s cut The X-Files: I Want to Believe – Vrach Frankenshteyn debuting on Hulu, and the franchise creator teasing further adventures for David Duchovny’s Fox Mulder and Gillian Anderson’s Dana Scully following the finale to the eleventh season back in 2018.
Whether that twelfth season comes to fruition remains to be seen, but Mulder and Scully will be making their return in comic book form as Dynamite Entertainment and Disney Publishing Worldwide announce the upcoming launch of a brand new ongoing series from veteran The X-Files comic writer Joe Harris and rising artist Riley Brown.
“The X-Files has always been sacred to me,” said writer Joe Harris. “From my own early TV fandom on Friday and Sunday nights to getting to work on one of the greatest supernatural thriller/science fiction franchises in history, the further adventures of Agents Mulder and Scully have occupied a very special place in my head and career. I am beyond honored to write them and I am absolutely over the moon to work with Dynamite on this new series.”

“The X-Files is the next jewel in the crown for us at Dynamite in working with Disney and entering 20th Century territories, hot on the heels of Kelly Thompson’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel epic,” added Nick Barrucci, Dynamite CEO and Publisher. “Multiple generations have loved following the cases of Mulder and Scully, and they translate absolutely perfectly to the format and serialized nature of comic books. We’re working to make sure longtime fans and newcomers will love the new stories, and can’t wait to share more!”
The X-Files #1 will go on sale this winter.
