X-Files Season 10 sees its final issues published in June. But hot on its heels is X-Files Season 11, also written by Joe Harris. Rich Johnston from Bleeding Cool got the chance to ask Harris some questions.
RJ: Well, the solicits say that X-Files will return for Season 11
in August, after the X-Files Annual 2015. A different season is more
than an issue, and signifies, I guess, major changes behind the comic.
And the final issue of Season 10 is described as “Mulder and Scully will
never be the same again”. So, I’m guessing they’re moving to Paris and
becoming street caricaturists. Is there anything you can tell us, and
how much you plan on changing the series for the new season?
JH: Well, without giving too much away…
At the end of our giant, double-sized season finale in issue #25,
Mulder and Scully will be split apart by forces that have been working
against them, behind the scenes, since we launched this series two years
ago. From the beginning, I wanted to bring The X-Files into a world
where stuff like conspiracies and paranoia and this feeling that the
forces of government and control weren’t necessarily corrupt from
within… but from the outside. We live in the age of big contractors and
privatized military operations, lobbying forces that spend mind boggling
amounts of money to steer things along and court-sanctioned erosions of
the limits the largest corporations and richest people in the world can
freely spend to influence elections, lawmaking and policy.
