Jeez! We're so behind with our usual sections that this time around we're delivering two reviews in one, comprising The X-Files: Season 11 issue #4, titled “Home Again - Part 3,” and issue #5 titled "My Name is Gibson."
"...Part 3" opens with the recount of how the Peacocks settled into their new home after the events in Home, Pennsylvania. The Mother claims that they don’t need much; just some walls to continue with their legacy. She admits that their plans were wrong - they couldn’t escape their past - but her pride is far from being weak: “...You can’t keep a Peacock down for very long…” she claims.
Last we saw our heroes, Gibson was having a field day with Mulder’s psyche and caused him to lower his guard, allowing Edward Peacock to attack him as he climbed the Cantus drilling tower and tried to attach the Medici component to the top. The Police were on their way to the scene; authorities were still looking for him and Scully, and the Peacocks and everyone in range are catching the live broadcast of the Police action on TV.
