The X-Files Comics Launch This December!

Posted on by Leave a comment

The truth is out there! Dynamite Entertainment and Disney Publishing Worldwide have announced further details on the debut of new comic books from The X-Files, officially launching this December!

Veteran and fan-favorite franchise writer Joe Harris returns alongside artist R.D. Brown to the tales of Mulder and Scully with a new set of declassified cases from the vault. The new comic series picks up some time after the end of the episode “My Struggle IV,” the season and series finale of the eleventh season of the show. 

Agents Mulder and Scully return once more to the FBI’s X-Files division in the shadow of the loss of their child William, the presumed death of the Cigarette Smoking Man, and the cliffhanger ending of Scully being pregnant once more. The shadows soon touch our heroes again as the conspiracy of a secret alien presence in the world is tracked down by both the duo and a mysterious organization seeking to harness it for their own purposes.

To complement this mind-tingling tale from Harris and Brown, Dynamite announces the full range of enticing covers for the comic series. Artists Clayton Crain and Ivan Tao‘s styles complement the eerie energy of the franchise. In addition to Harris adding to his nearly 60 issues to date of The X-Files comics, another veteran is back with The Walking Dead superstar Charlie Adlard doing covers, following his breakout work with Sculder and Mully in the 1990s for comics originally published by Topps. A special icon cover presents a classic mixed media image by Miran Kim from that same beloved era. Collectors can also opt for the exciting blind bag, filled with rare variants including an exclusive piece by superstar Martin Morazzo.

The X-Files #1 is available starting December 9.

  • Cover of 'The X-Files' comic book featuring an X-ray image of an alien skull against a dark background.
  • Cover of The X-Files comic featuring two FBI agents, Mulder and Scully, holding flashlights, with dark and mysterious background elements including a figure in glasses and extraterrestrial themes.

The Truth is Still Out There as The X-Files Returns to Comics this Winter

Posted on by

Trust no one! Announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, Dynamite Entertainment and Disney Publishing Worldwide are teaming to return the classic franchise The X-Files to comics. All-new tales arriving this winter!

The franchise’s definitive modern writer in comics returns, with Joe Harris crafting even more thrilling cases for Mulder and Scully to investigate each and every month everywhere comics are sold. Harris has written more X-Files comic scripts than any other creator and is best known for his Season 10 and Season 11 storylines, published more than a decade ago. Longtime fans can look forward to more of Harris’s critically acclaimed take on the boundary-pushing, mind-bending science fiction that has long defined The X-Files. Beyond channeling the FBI’s fabled agents, Harris is known for his copious contributions to Marvel, DC, and on Alice Cooper comics with Dynamite.

Joining him for this new era of unclassified tales taking place after the show is artist Riley Brown. The up and coming penciler makes this big splash following work on titles like Dead Acre: Black Badge. His versatile stylings are set to bring the latest scintillating sci-fi to the comics page.

The X-Files had an incredibly influential run on television through the 1990s and beyond, with two films, multiple revival seasons, and spinoffs. The franchise also has history in comic books, with its procedural conspiracy and monster-of-the-week style storytelling being a perfect match for this other medium.

The comic series is set to debut this winter, and additional details on the stories being crafted by Harris and Brown will come shortly. Fans can follow Dynamite across all platforms and their favorite voices around the fandom to stay tuned.
