After a few hurdles in issue #1 regarding Mulder's overly humorous portrayal, Harris seems to have settled in nicely with him and the other FBI heroes. CSM's dialogue in particular practically resonates with William B. The plus side of this heavy emphasis on the past is that Season 10 has no trouble whatsoever capturing the tone of the show and the voices of the various characters. It's not just CSM, either, but the return of Agents Doggett and Reyes, new variations on the alien/human hybrid, and even that silly magnetite business. On the other hand, there's been far too much emphasis in this opening arc on dredging up familiar X-Files tropes and not enough on blazing new ground and establishing what will make Season 10 unique. It's definitely difficult to imagine a long-term X-files saga without this shadowy villain pulling strings and violating every anti-smoking statue in the land. Now the latter takes center stage in this third issue as he becomes reacquainted with Agent Mulder. Issue #2 officially brought the Lone Gunmen back into the fold and teased the return of CSM to boot. How do you still appeal to X-philes in a world with no Lone Gunmen and no Cigarette Smoking Man? The answer Joe Harris and Chris Carter have settled on is 'Bring them back to life.' One of the more interesting challenges facing The X-Files: Season 10 was the fact that so many of the series' iconic supporting characters were killed off by the end of the TV show.
