BONUS REVIEW by Kevin Healy
Less of a comic, more of an old school 'Alan Moore tells you things with words printed over an illustration, and you'd best feel inferior while you're here' scenario. Flashing back, archivist Dalton Hynes is interviewed about how very badly the US government screwed up in trying to create their own fiction. Their unfocused efforts brought about UFOs of multiple varieties, and a pile of bodies to go along with it. James Tynion continues to ramp up the paranoia that maybe, just maybe, Lee Harvey Oswald is someone who shouldn't be trusted. The illustrations provided David Romero are dark, deliberately vague, and for the most part effective. This is the most X-Files-ish issue of the series, for better or worse. I give it 7 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
