X-Files 30 Days of Night Vol 1 After the 6 issue series of Wildstorm, which was published during the late 2008 and early 2009, many people wondered if there would be another X files comic. But to the surprise of many, Wildstrom announced that it will do a cross over series with IDW’s popular series 30 Days of Night. Although, initially it came to me as a bit of a surprise but after I gave it some thought it seemed a good fit.

You shouldn’t expect a lot from this book as nothing much happens. It is again the same where a few dead bodies turn up in suspicious manner and Scully and Mulder are entrusted with the job of finding the truth behind it. The narrative of the story is by a snowplow driver who finds a pile ruined vehicles accompanied by a heap of head less dead bodies and the heads stuck on the top of a giant pole.

There is very little time spent on the prologue as it quickly moves on to story. It leaves with a feeling that you needed a bit more time with the introduction of the characters as you move to the story. The introduction also adds another twist when another FBI pair comes into the scene and a conflict arises between the two pairs. It does add that extra bit of tension to the story.

The problem with this issue is that it has far too many resemblances to the original books. Besides, for those who have read those books they might feel a little disappointed.
