672 - "The X-COM Files"

"The X-COM Files":  this is a mash-up of two different but somewhat related intellectual properties.  The X-Files has been one of my favourites for quite a long time (although I hated the show when it first came out in 1993, go figure).  It's the story of a couple of crusading FBI agents who chase after supernatural consipracies. The flying saucer episodes are the best, in my opinion. 

Then there's X-COM, which is a videogame that first came out way back in 1994 and just recently got a major sequel.  In the game, the player leads a squad of well-armed tactical UFO hunters in a  desperate race against alien invasion.

So what if you combined the two?  Man, would that ever be sweet!  This is my interpretation of what it would look like.

X-Files are the intellectual property of 20th Century Fox Television, and X-COM is the property of Microprose,  Hasbro Interactive, Infogrames, Atari, and 2K Games, whew!  All those legalities mean that I doubt we'll ever really see Special Agents Mulder and Scully on the X-COM trail. 

For MortalKomic!
