We spoke with the writer of The X-Files Season 10 comic book series about the future of The X-Files.

While at Marvel comics as a young writer, he created the Spider-Man spinoffSlingersand theBishop: The X-Menseries.

How that will impact the evolution of the next series ofThe X-Files Season 10is anyones guess.

Things have moved at a rapid pace within days since official word came out.

Were you making mental notes about what youd do things differently?

Did you know what you wanted to do when IDW approached you?

I recall the polybagged #1 on the stands way back when.

When IDW approached me, I instantly knew what I wanted to do, yeah.

What are your expectations for the new series order?

I dont know… Id like to think so, myself, in some small way.

Theres been a light hanging in the fandom window for many years now.

Id like to think we nursed it a bit and scratched some itches and plan to keep doing so.

Its more heady and philosophical and darker and all that.

I mean, in the end, its all subjective like everything else.

Its a matter of putting the right voices on the right things at the right times.
