IDW Publishing recently announced
some news to makes fans of "
The X-Files" very happy. An original tale and the case that "started it all" will debut this July in a brand-new five-issue miniseries called "The X-Files: Year Zero." The release reveals the plot, "In the 1940s, a shadowy informant known as 'Mr. Xero directed the FBI to a number of paranormal cases that would soon be classified as 'X-Files,' which were reserved for the improbable and unexplainable. When faced with an eerily similar 'Mr. Zero' in the present, Agent Mulder resolves to uncover the truth about who this mystery person is and their connection to these cases."
The talented team is introduced via the release:
The multi-talented veteran Karl Kesel ("FF," "Superboy") makes his debut at IDW as the writer on the series. Vic Malhotra (The X-Files: Conspiracy: The Crow) and Greg Scott ("The X-Files: Season 10") will be splitting art duties with Malhotra providing the art for the 1940s sequences and Scott drawing the present day storyline. Covers will be provided by Season 10’s Carlos Valenzuela, with pulp-novel-inspired subscription variants by Robert Hack ("Doctor Who") and a retailer incentive cover by Eisner Award-winner Francesco Francavilla for the first installment.
