I Want to Believe
The truth is out there, or should I say at Wildstorm. I was highly anticipating the release of the X-Files #1 from Wildstorm, as I was a HUGE fan of the show and also a monthly reader of the Topps series a few years back. So how do you compare oranges to oranges? Why their taste of course. See, the Topps series, despite its honest attempts to match the atmosphere of the show, always seemed to fall flat, with the art being at times goofy and the writing to seem forced. The Wildstorm series is quite the opposite. From opening “credits” to ending cliffhanger Spotnitz’s writing is dead on, as it should be since he worked on the series. The art is equally matched, though. This was a pleasant surprise. From the deadpan expressions of Mulder, to the annoyed looks from Skinner, and even the dead on accuracy of the Lone Gunmen (see below), it was a joy to read. I want to believe in this series. 
And this is a good start for anyone, whether a fan of the show or not. This could possibly be the title that launches Wildstorm back into the limelight of the comics world and also back into the top sellers list. I’m anxious to see how this one fares. One my scale I’d give this one a solid 9 of 10. This one’s a buy.
