What Can Fans Look Forward To Upon The X-Files' Return?

Dynamite Entertainment is keen to stir up excitement around The X-Files' latest reboot series, teasing that the comic series will honor the original television show as sincerely as possible. With such a strong legacy to uphold, Dynamite Entertainment is confident that they'll be able to transport readers back into the heart of the series, packed with nostalgia and spine-tingling thrills.

Dynamite Entertainment's new X-Files series officially launches with its first issue on December 15th; by the time The X-Files #2 drops on January 13, Mulder and Scully's mission of getting the truth out there is about to be a lot more complicated. Dynamite unveiled cover art and a solicit for the second issue, which begins with reports popping up on social media of wild accounts of young people manifesting strange telekinetic powers. Mulder and Scully head out to debunk another urban legend — but they're not the only ones on the case.

The new X-Files series is written by Joseph Harris (The X-Files: Season 10 from IDW Publishing, Marvel's Bishop: The Last X-Man) and features art by R.D. Brown. In addition to the eerie alien main cover art for The X-Files #2, Dynamite also announced a slew of variant covers by Clayton Crain, Ivan Tao, Charlie Adlard, and more.

Dynamite Entertainment's solicitation for The X-Files #2 foreshadows those who will be lurking in the shadows as Mulder and Scully get to work. "When a shadowy group of neo-conspirators shows the same interest, we learn there might be more of these “gifted” people … and that the origin of their powers is extraterrestrial in nature."

The X-Files' newest alien threat is a massive one, though, with incredible reach — even getting its claws into the government. "The alien threat has only metastasized. Now, shadowy actors within the government plot with powerful special interests outside of it in a race to secure “alien” secrets related to biology, disease, and even everlasting life. All with Mulder and Scully stuck between the unbelievable and the seemingly miraculous truth."

Dynamite also promises there will be some pretty shocking revelations in the second issue, though the publisher isn't ready to name any names just yet. "This issue: We reveal [REDACTED], the grown son of [REDACTED] and the [REDACTED]. He crackles with power like a young god as he descends to the ground, while others warily approach. He is a messianic presence.... and at his feet, all is carnage."

Dynamite's The X-Files #1 expected release date is December 15, 2026, with the second issue heating up on January 13, 2027.
