It's a cute Scooby Doo-style kids adventure. But if you're a die-hard fan of The X-Files it's also entertaining because a lot of background information on Mulder and Scully comes to life. We see why Mulder is so wary of the government, Scully's faith at an early age and her relationship with her family.
Mulder as a kid in 1974 after his sister disappears & Scully at age 13 in 1977 San Diego. Visually well done but the stories could have been tightened up a bit.
Wer hätte gedacht, dass Dana und Fox schon als Kinder mysteriösen Regierungs(?)aktivitäten auf die Schliche gekommen sind? Und dass der Mord, den Dana aufzuklären versucht, mit den sonderbaren Entdeckungen verknüpft ist, die Fox schon ein paar Jahre früher gemacht hat?Sympathisch erzählte X-Story, irgendwo zwischen Nancy Drew, Drei Fragezeichen und X-Files angesiedelt.
This one had a chance. Just because the idea about prequel that tells us stories of young Fox and Dana without making them actually meet each other was... kind of cute, really. And the artwork? It totally fits. It's easy to recognize David and Gillian here and the way they look as kids feels totally natural. Jody Houser also didn't forget to add some juicy details. For example, the chemistry between Dana and her dad feels perfect.The problem is, she (Jody) didn't really know what to do with the
I will not claim to be a super fan of X-files, I have watched episodes here and there and the movie and one of the two new seasons (I hadn't even realized when they had the most recent season on tv since it was hardly advertised!), but I was very excited when I found out about these graphic novels with them as teenagers! This story takes places in 1974 for Fox Mulder and 1977 for Dana Scully as they begin there investigative careers with some strange occurrences going on. I think my favorite par...
Fluffy. If you are a fan of the show -- and why would you be reading this if you are not? -- you will get much more from it. I was only a casual watcher, so I was confused what I was meant to think of the blonde girl(s?). Still, it fits continuity enough and was a quick read.
I'm a huge x-files fan and this is a must have in your collection, especially if you love graphic novels/comics.
big x-files fan here and this just felt a little bland. Yes this is young Mulder and Scully but aside from few references theses kids could be anyone it doesn't feel very special to me. Both Mulder and Scully are trying to solve their own unique mystery that is sort of like an x-file at least for Mulder it seems so. The story and content feels geared for a younger audience but given how old x-files is (yes I know there are new episodes) I don't see a lot of kids picking this up. I would of liked...
As a fan of The X-Files, I enjoyed this. It's definitely fun to imagine that this backstory is what got Mulder and Scully started on the path of FBI detective. The story itself, while interesting, didn't go very deep. There's quite a bit left unanswered but I think that's fitting of The X-Files. Also, everything in here seemed accurate from what I remember of the show.Overall, this was an interesting story and I would certainly recommend it to someone who enjoys the show. (This is the first X-Fi...
This was fun and the two stories overlapped well.
Yes! Yes! Yes! I love this, and I want the second volume like yesterday. As an X-Files fan, it's hard to go wrong with Mulder and Scully, but I enjoyed this more than I thought I might. Each character has a strong individual storyline, but long-time fans will really enjoy all the tie-ins to the mythology. It's a fun to consider Mulder and Scully's lives unknowingly intertwine long before they join forces in the 90s. My absolute favorite part of this volume is the last panels - Scully's diary nar...
The mystery was decent. Ended with a cliff hanger, but I do not know if a sequel is planned for this series, or it is leaving us in the dark like the tv series does (Update: There is a part 2!) The writing didn't hold my attention very well (I am kind of interested to see where the mystery goes, but I'm not running out to get the second part), but the coloring and drawings were enjoyable.
I really liked this little graphic novel, it’s a look into the children they were before FBI argents they become. It’s a good concept and entertaining and enjoyable.
The Hardy Boys / Nancy Drew version of the X-Files. Fox and Dana investigate two different incidents 3 years apart when they were children. They are boring and hold zero relevancy until the very end. There's also no closure. You have to read volume 2 to get the other half of the story. The art is very cartoonish.
Read as single issues. 4.5 stars.I really enjoyed reading both Mulder's and Scully's stories. I also love the way the issues were set out: one side being Scully and her individual story and the other side being Mulder and his individual story. Anyway, I loved how both of their stories stuck to the original X-files format with Mulder's inquisitive side and wanting to know what happened to his sister and you see Mulder's character shape into who he is in the TV show. It's the same for Scully in th...
After reading the last series of X-Files comics, this was like a breath of fresh air. The regular series was so convoluted it was refreshing to read something at least somewhat more straightforward. There are two stories here, one of Mulder as a teen and one of Scully around the same age. The stories have a Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew vibe to them and they do link together. The art is cartoony but first the stories very well. Some of the coincidences are a little improbable but this is the X-Files aft...
Very enjoyable! Quite moving in some sections. Very cool intrigue. Lovely artwork.
fun
