The X-Files: JFK Disclosure Reviews
-
"aliens. thats what put him on ice."
-
This had a lot of potential but I felt didn't quite reach it. The story deals with how and why Kennedy was really assassinated and who was involved (hint: there were aliens.) The story just seemed to short and lacking in details to present what is possibly the greatest conspiracy theory in history, especially since the X-Files is tailor made for this type of story.
The art is painted and atmospheric, and the character likenesses are spot on.
Overall I liked it, but thought it could have been better. -
Somehow the existence of this comic had escaped my notice until recently. Something which surprised me, given this reviewer is a fan of The X-Files and an armchair historian with interest in the JFK assassination. Having now read it, however, I can see why that might have been. Rarely have I seen a tie-in as mishandled as JFK Disclosure, with a plot that managed to both scarcely tie-in with its parent show and rushed in the way Denton J. Tipton wrote it. On paper, The X-Files and the JFK assassination would have been perfect for one another, but, in the hands of Tipton, it feels tired and dull. It perhaps doesn't help that the big twist is Menton3 offers some atmospheric if rather messy artwork, which adds to the misjudged feel of the piece as it belongs to an entirely different story to this.
In short: A major disappointment and one only for die-hard fans. -
The artwork in this graphic novel is far superior to most X-Files comics out there, particularly with the likenesses of each character being some of the most accurate to date. It was also an interesting story about a fascinating moment in history and it ties nicely into the episode "Musings of a Cigarette-Smoking Man".
-
Mulder is contacted by an old acquaintance of his father who implies that William Mulder was involved with the assassination of JFK in Dallas. An interesting interpretation of 1950's Mob and conspiracies galore.
-
Menton3 art with JFK and conspiracy storylines that actually make sense that involve full page spreads with gritty dark art and depictions of aliens that are both familiar and incredibly scary at the same time. This one will sweep you up into possible histories like an alien abduction to 1963.
-
I thought this was an excellent tie in to CSM's story and episodes. And I also love to read anything regarding the JFK conspiracy.
-
Not a big fan of the art style for x files, it doesn't seem a good fit. The show covered JFK already and I just found this dull
-
The art is interesting, but the writing fails to live up to even the mediocre X-Files episodes. A disappointing entry to the show’s canon from IDW.
-
This dragged on a bit, wasn't even very interesting. I mean we covered this already didn't we?
