IDW Publishing has announced an agreement with Twentieth Century Fox Licensing that will allow IDW to reprint various iterations of the X-Files comic books published from 1995 to 2009 by Topps Comics and Wildstorm as well as to create a new ongoing X-Files comic book series that will debut in June of 2013. The new comic book series will pick up the X-Files narrative and continuity after the end of the second X-Files movie.
The paranoia-infused adventures of Agents Mulder and Scully were a major phenomenon during the late 1990s driven by the popularity of the original X-Files TV series, which lasted for an impressive two hundred and two episodes, which were followed by two theatrically-released movies, the last of which was released in 2003.
The X-Files comics joins a long list of licensed properties at IDW, which had demonstrated an ability to create viable ongoing series from vintage properties such as Doctor Who, Star Trek, Transformers, and G.I. Joe.
Reprints Plus a New Ongoing Series in June
