IDW and Twentieth Century Fox Announce The X-Files Creative Team

I want to believe. The motto carried The X-Files through all its seasons when it aired and it still remains a memorable motto for the eerie doings Agents Mulder and Scully contended with. Not much has changed in the time since the show was on the air and even the upcoming comic from IDW will rely on that motto to guide it as well. Not only that, but Chris Carter is on board, joined by Joe Harris, Michael Walsh and Jordie Bellaire. What's more is that the first will feature covers by Dave Johnson, Joe Corroney, and Carlos Valenzuela, along with a classic photo image of Mulder and Scully.

"It was already an incredibly exciting prospect to tell stories set after the second THE X-FILES movie, especially after Joe Harris worked up such a great plan in that regard," said Chris Ryall, IDW's Chief Creative Officer/Editor-in-Chief. "But my excitement level went off the charts after a meeting with Chris Carter, where he agreed to come aboard and executive produce our Season 10. In much the same way Joss Whedon steered our Angel: After the Fall series, Chris has graciously returned to do the same here. What do THE X-FILES look like in this increasingly paranoid and untrusting post-Wikileaks era? Well, they look like canon to me... and come June, the rest of the world will be able to see it for themselves, too."

In the opening story arc, "Believers," readers will catch up with Dana Scully and Fox Mulder, living normal lives together under secret identities. However, a visit from an old friend threatens to rip them from suburban anonymity, as they learn that someone is preying upon everyone involved in The X-Files. Prepare to revisit familiar faces-some very unexpected, threats old and new, and an intriguing mystery designed to return the beloved franchise to its former glory.

The X-Files: Season 10 #1 will hit stores June 19. Full press release below.
