The X-Files #24

 

Mulder and Scully are on the track of a killer who is using a mysterious article of clothing to steal the life force from people in order to make himself young again.

   The fringe science for personal purposes idea is as old as science fiction itself. So, it’s no surprise that it’s used as a prop device here. Also used are the standard quotes Mulder uses to try and convince Scully that conspiracies are real as well as Scully’s obvious rebuttals that science has a logical answer.

   Noticeably absent from this book are aliens. That’s probably because show creator, Chris Carter, wanted to keep those story lines open for sweeps week on Fox and not wasted in a $2.99 comic.

   The art is spot on in the likeness of Fox and Dana. It’s also very gruesome like the show. The plot’s okay, but it’s be used to death- literally. All-in-all, for a book I paid less than a dollar for, it wasn’t a bad read.

  Worth Consuming.

   Rating: 7 out of 10 stars.
