review:
'X-Files: Conspiracy' is an IDW crossover book and it's a strange one pitting the characters in X-Files with those from Ghostbusters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Transformers and The Crow. It works mainly because the characters used in all the books are The Lone Gunmen.
When The Lone Gunmen start getting pictures from the future about a deadly virus about to wipe out humanity, they start investigating. They have crossover adventures with the Ghostbusters, where they inadvertently set a ghost loose, with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, where they need to collect some turtle blood. The Transformers help with to find a suspect and a couple cops protect them, and then are avenged by The Crow.
It's all over the map, and the art styles vary, but the loopiness of The Lone Gunmen hold it all together through this strange mismatched worlds. I ended up enjoying it and while the framing story worked, it wasn't as strong as it could have been. Still, it's nice to see The Lone Gunmen at it again.
I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Book Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
