(fan comic) The X-Files: Chrome-Magnon [pg 1-10/30]

With LJ's scrapbook as storage space I've finally decided to shut down my COLS (crappy old Lycos site) with its annoying ads, and move everything to LJ.

So, I was in the process of moving 'Chrome Magnon', the X-Files comic I drew ten years ago, when I realized that the scan quality really detracted from the artwork. I'm going to re-post the whole thing in shiny new quality. The resolution is pretty decent now, and each page still only around 150K.

This isn't a WIP, obviously, but I'm posting it 10 pages at a time so the posts won't get too huge. One thing: I'm always cool with concrit, only in this case... well, the thing is ten years old and with each glance I see a dozen things that I want to fix badly. But I won't touch it, because there'd be no stopping. And I like to think the important aspects, like story, storytelling, and layout, still stand the test of time (mostly).

Chris Carter completely killed my X-files love, but this is awesome. Especially Scully deciding that Skinner had finally gone around the bend.

Glad you like, I hope you'll enjoy the rest as well. I'll post the remaining pages early next week, I think.

Chris Carter completely killed my X-files love,

You're not the only one who says that. X-Philes, as a whole, sound rather bitter when they talk about the later seasons. I stopped watching relatively early, mid-season four - when my favourite writer, Darin Morgan, left, the show lost a lot of its quirkyness which was the main reason why I loved it. But from what I hear about later seasons, yikes! I'm glad I stopped watching while it was still good.

This comic is early X-Files... so, we'll get MOTW instead of confuddled conspiracy. Well, maybe there's a tiny conspiracy hidden somewhere in here, too...;)
