    After a an overly busy issue #2 (which felt a bit like swallowing peanut butter) issue #3 goes down smooth. And it leaves you wanting more. Read Full Review

    Comic Vine - Tony 'G-Man' Guerrero Aug 14, 2013

    If you've ever watched an episode of The X-Files, this series is a must-read. Series creator Chris Carter and Joe Harris have brought the characters back with a vengeance. We're seeing many familiar characters return (some in shocking ways) and the story continues to build the excitement with each issue. Michael Walsh has captured the essence of the characters and is bringing them to life along with plenty of X-Files action that we would expect. Bottom line, if you enjoyed the show, you're going to love this comic. Don't miss out on it. Read Full Review

    However, hardcore X-Philes (I hate the term so much, but it's the most widely used, so sometimes you gotta just say fuck it), will definitely get a kick out of this. Perhaps it might come off as fan fiction, but in all honesty, I'm liking this better than many of the episodes in seasons 8 and 9, and the second movie (don't throw up Sean, wait until the end of the review to throw up). If you want a comic that does The X-Files justice, definitely read The X-Files Season 10. Read Full Review

    The Fandom Post - Chris Beveridge Apr 7, 2015

    While I've been enjoying the book and reconnecting with it, X-Files hadn't hit that sweet spot to really make me feel it yet. This issue doesn't truly change that overall, but it's also doing what I had hoped it would by diving deeper into the mythology. Read Full Review

    Newsarama - Rob McMonigal Aug 15, 2013

    Michael Walsh nails some of his pages this time, using shadows to ramp up the creepiness in several places. Unfortunately, he's still stuck on having characters face the reader and talk, but even with that complaint, this series continues to be solid and worth reading. Read Full Review

    “Season 10″ is the culmination and evolution of everything before it. As much as I love the show, these issues are better. Walshs art gives every page a flow that allows the action to move with incredible speed. Harris script is smart, and weaves around the characters like a snake. Im so incredibly happy that this book exists, and even happier to report that it just keeps getting better. Read Full Review

    Analog Addiction - Tony Couto Aug 20, 2013

    While it lacks the unsettling smaller moments of previous issues, The X-Files: Season 10 #3 is the loudest installment thus far, with plenty of action to join the instances of terror. Read Full Review

    IGN - Jesse Schedeen Aug 14, 2013

    Michael Walsh's art is also a boon to the series. Though the TV show's trademark heavy shadows are downplayed, this is very much the world of X-Files. Walsh is able to replicate the look of each actor in a way that feels natural rather than forced. And though his art is a bit sparse at times, his storytelling is always clean and precise.

    The truth is out there. Love seeing that in one form or another. X-Files: Season 10 is a nice reprieve from all the super-heroes and Big Events. Read Full Review
