Description
You know The X-Files. Now, for the first time, here are The eXtra Files.
Acclaimed cartoonist and fellow X-Phile Jeffrey Brown revisits classic X-Files episodes for weird, bizarre, and funny takes on both fan favourite cases and overlooked gems. He'll rejoin Mulder and Scully as they investigate the unexplained incidents, paranormal events, and extraterrestrial encounters, and show that not only is the truth out there, the humour is as well.
The eXtra Files will ask—and even attempt to answer—questions about Mulder and Scully's cases and their history, providing a fresh and funny take on both that will be accessible to casual fans but also engaging for X-Philes.
