Joe Harris, The X-Files: Season 10 comic author, had some exciting news for us all at New York Comic Con 2014! On top of the already amazing work they're doing on Season 10, IDW Publishing will be releasing a short series of Millennium comics.
Profiler Frank Black will return in the new comics that take place during the same timeframe as the current X-Files ones. Frank will appear in the next issue of the "Immaculate" Season 10 two-parter, which will allow him to spinoff into his own series come New Years. Mulder and possibly other X-Files favorites will be helping Frank out. We will even learn more about Monte Propps, the case that started Mulder off in the BSU.
There's a lot of awesome stuff coming up from Joe and the IDW crew, so check out the interview below to learn more. And if you still have questions, we'll have some exclusive info on the comics coming soon!

Look through your Facebook friends, or even down your street, and you may know a person that's just different. That one that can solve a math problem in seconds, has a way to analyze a situation that's far from the norm, with abilities that are just special. Yet, as talented as these folks are, sometimes, they're not the most social of peeps. Scorpion plans to tell us about these exceptional individuals, and there's a fantastic real life story behind it.
Walter O'Brien is one of the smartest people in the world; with an IQ of 190, higher than even Albert Einstein's. He has done quite an array of exploits in his 39 years on this planet, including hacking into the NASA Secure System when he was only 12 years old.
Over time, Walter decided to apply his talents to better means, creating Scorpion Computer Services, a think tank for hire that has managed to help mitigate investment risks and even helped save lives in Afghanistan, among other extraordinary feats.
Scorpion will focus on the character inspired by him, also named Walter O'Brien, and played by Elyes Gabel (World War Z, Game of Thrones). He's part of a group of genius misfits controlled by Agent Gallo, played by Robert Patrick (The X-Files, The Sopranos, Gangster Squad). Together, they will not only find new genius assets but also guide their team to save the world in the most daring of ways, defeating threats unseen by the normal folks like us.
We won't spoil the plot for you this time. Instead, tune in for the pilot tonight. We assure you that you will enjoy it a whole lot. During its advance screening at San Diego Comic Con, the overall reception was very positive, and this is a very tough crowd to please. Besides Gabel and Patrick, Katharine McPhee (American Idol, Smash) stars as Paige Dineen, alongside Eddie Kaye Thomas (American Dad!, American Pie Harold & Kumar), Jadyn Wong, and Ari Stidham.
The team behind the show has enough experience to predict that this one will be a winner; created by Nick Santora (The Sopranos, Law & Order, Prison Break, Lie To Me), and executive produced by Alex Kurtzman (Mission: Impossible III, The Amazing Spiderman 2 & 3, Star Trek), Roberto Orci (Star Trek 3, Alias, Fringe, Matador) and Walter O'Brien himself, there's enough experience and stories to tell to keep us on the edge of our seats for a long time to come. The pilot is action packed and filled with twists and turns that promise to keep it really interesting in the upcoming episodes. The producers have shown interest in taking the experience beyond the confines of the TV set and making it really interactive with the fans, and we certainly look forward to that.
We can't wait to see what's in store for us. We hope that it turns out to be one of our weekly "musts" with all the possibilities it promises.
Scorpion premieres tonight at 9pm EST on CBS.

Sixteen years ago, in June 19th, 1998, The X-Files: Fight The Future premiered to bring the the thrills to the big screen. Mulder and Scully fought and risked their lives to unmask a conspiracy of epic proportions, that would live long after the ending of the movie, extending to the plot of the ongoing X-Files series.
Many of us lined up for hours to watch it first, many X-Philes fell in love with the show all over again, many discovered it that day, and today, after all these years, new fans are still captivated by the universe created by Chris Carter and everyone at Ten Thirteen.
Enjoy the thrill of watching this trailer once again, and follow many more videos from the premiere and press interviews via our Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook.
