review:
'Millennium' from IDW Publishing and written by Joe Harris is a sort of continuation of the television series, but it has strong ties with the X-Files, so I'm confused why they didn't bill it as a crossover book.

Frank Black (not to be confused with the lead singer of The Pixies) has survived the millennium, but whatever strange threat it was supposed to bring is still out there. When a prisoner involved with Fox Mulder is paroled and has ties with Frank, they team up to investigate the weird things that are still happening over a decade later. Creepy children, mysterious symbols, and things from Frank's past all converge into a kind of convoluted ending.

I never watched much of the original series, so while I'm familiar with the characters and the basic premise of the show I probably missed some interesting things that were thrown in. I did like a few surprises that shall remain unsaid, but the whole thing came across as confusing and overly wordy. The art worked okay, and the characters looked like the actors from the shows they were on, but it was kind of dark and indistinct a lot of the time. Not my favorite thing I've read lately.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, IDW Publishing, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
