I was a bit obsessed with the X-Files in middle-school/high-school. You know, before they went totally downhill because David D. decided the show was dragging him down. They had two spin-offs, one about the hacker group and the other about the Millennium conspiracy. I watched the Millennium show, and I remember enjoying it but honestly couldn't tell you what it was about. My main take-away was the oroboros which I still want to get a tattoo of.



This comic is set is close to present day, so way past the turning of the Millennium, and I think it's continuing the story as it was left off by the show. Now, this was a convoluted Chris Carter plot so I should have known that it wouldn't transfer over to comic form well, but this was pretty painful to read.

There was excessive dialogue, confusing action sequences, and in general just confusing plot. I think that if I didn't have a semi-solid grounding in who Mulder, the hackers, and Frank were I would have been completely lost, so this is definitely one for fans only.



Do you see all of that text??

Overall it was just confusing and had way too much text. I think this could have been edited better and put together in a more cohesive way, but what we have here is just a bit of a mess.
