I spend a lot of time and money buying and reading comics. Most of the time I'm happy with my choices, sometimes not. I'm hoping,that with my reviews on what I've read, I might spare someone else dissapointment. I'll read anything, but I can't afford everything. If there's something you'd like for me to read, let me know. If you take the time to read this, please, take the time to let me know what you think. I may not agree with you, or you may not agree with me. But, so what. That's life.

the X Files #6 - WildStorm
Overall, I enjoyed this series. I watched this show during it's hey-day, so . . I feel like I'm intimately familiar with these characters. I think that all the creators, throughout these 7 issues, lived up to the feel and ideal of that original series. When reading the issues, I swear I could hear the theme-song, while looking at the title page. And while reading about Fox and Dana's adventures, I swear I could hear their voices. No I'm not crazy. Well . . maybe a little. The only problem I really had with this series is that, with all the new shows out there pushing the envelope of story-telling even farther . . this one just seemed a little dated. However, while reading this last issue, I realized that if I just quit looking at it that way, that I could actually enjoy the story. I think this series has some possibility. I'm not sure if WildStorm is going to explore it any farther, but . . I think there could be a market again out there for this. Or . . I could be wrong. Maybe it's all just wishful thinking on my part. Anyways, I like the way this story-line wrapped up, and I think Doug Moench and Brian Denham did a terrific job here. I haven't been buying any of the franchised stuff that WildStorm has been putting out . . except for this. But . . I loved the show, and I have a whole long-box of X Files comics. I know. I'm obsessed. But hey, knowing you have a problem is the first step. Right?

Add another crazy to the list. I had the theme running through my head when looking at the opening panels. I quite enjoyed the series and it did remind me a lot of the original X-Files series.
