3 | '''''The X-Files Season 10''''' is IDW Publishing's 2013 comic book revival of the television series ''Series/TheXFiles'', continuing the canonical adventures of Fox Mulder and Dana Scully after the events of the second movie, ''Film/TheXFilesIWantToBelieve''. Produced by TV series creator Creator/ChrisCarter, the comic gives the storyline a major contemporary overhaul, now telling the story of the government/alien conspiracy in the context of uncertain, paranoid, Wikileaks-driven [[TheNewTens New Tens]] as opposed to TheNineties. Also promised are sequel stories featuring prominent "Monsters-of-the-Week" from the show. |

12 | !!''The X-Files Season 10'' provides examples of the following tropes: |
13 | |
14 | * AbortedArc: In the series finale, the Cigarette-Smoking Man told Mulder that alien colonization would commence on December 22, 2012. The cast and crew openly considered doing a third movie that would explore that plotline if ''Film/TheXFilesIWantToBelieve'' made big enough returns. (It apparently didn't.) It is now 2013 and in issue #3, Mulder [[spoiler:accuses the Cigarette-Smoking Man of playing another mind game with giving him the 2012 invasion date, declaring that it never happened]]. No explanation has yet been provided for why the date was missed. |
15 | * AllMythsAreTrue: Though most likely non-canon, the "Conspiracy" mini-series has the ''{{Franchise/Ghostbusters}}'', the ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'', ''Franchise/TheCrow'' and ''{{Franchise/Transformers}}'' being real within the ''X-Files'' world. |
16 | * AlternateContinuity: As a result of the 2016 revival miniseries. |
17 | * ArcWords: [[spoiler:G-23]] really does bring out the worst in people. |
18 | * ArtifactTitle: This comic began publication before the series was revived with an actual Season 10. |
19 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: The Syndicate members, thanks to cloning.]] |
20 | * BadFuture: In the final issues of Season 11, we see the devastated world that will result from alien colonization [[spoiler: with Mulder and Gibson apparently the only humans left alive, all because Mulder interfered in Gibson's plans. Present day Gibson shows Mulder this, which causes Mulder to play along.]] |
21 | * BetterToDieThanBeKilled: In the Season 10 comic "Chitter" when Scully learns from Mrs. Hoynes that the Chittering God wants her as a tribute, she holds a trowel to her throat. |
22 | -->'''Scully:''' You both...might be right about me. About what ''hurts'' me...and what I ''feel''... but you're not getting ''any'' of it! |
23 | * TheChessmaster: [[spoiler:Gibson Praise, who has been manipulating Mulder and Scully since the last arc of Season 10 and for most of Season 11.]] |
24 | * ChristmasEpisode: The Season 10 and Season 11 Holiday specials. The Season 10 holiday special is a standalone issue, but the Season 11 holiday special continues the MythArc of Season 11. |
25 | * TheCameo: Frank Black from ''Series/Millennium1996'' shows up in the religiously-themed Season 10, issue #17. |
26 | * CloningGambit: [[spoiler: Gibson Praise]] in Season 10, issue #25. |
27 | * ContinuityNod: In the first issue, Scully gives a shot to a little girl named Emily, trying to make a rapport with her and remarking that giving the shot "might have hurt me more than it did you." Perhaps a reference to her short-lived daughter of the same name from the fifth season, no? |
28 | * DoubleAgent: [[spoiler: AD Morales is introduced as a mole working for the Cigarette-Smoking Man, but is later revealed to actually a member of the Faceless Ones, working to rout out colonization collaborators.]] |
29 | * ExpendableClone: [[spoiler:The Cigarette-Smoking Man, The Well-Manicured Man and other Syndicate members. Later Gibson Praise.]] |
30 | * FakingTheDead: [[spoiler:The Lone Gunmen.]] |
31 | * ForInconveniencePressOne: As a wounded Scully is being pursued by the Acolytes. |
32 | * GlowingEyes: How to know you've run into Acolytes. |
33 | * InSeriesNickname: Mulder's nickname "Spooky", referenced in the first issue. |
34 | * ItHasBeenAnHonor: At the climax of Season 10, [[spoiler: the Elder]] says this to the rest of [[spoiler: the cloned Syndicate]], right before they all die [[spoiler: for the final time]]. |
35 | * KillItWithFire: [[spoiler:How the Peacock clan finally meets its demise, in Season 11]]. |
36 | ** Also at the end of Season 10, [[spoiler: the Cigarette-Smoking Man, as he blows up the Syndicate's cloning labs in Guantanamo.]] |
37 | * KryptoniteFactor: Just like on the show, magnetite is toxic to the aliens. |
38 | * MushroomSamba: In Season 10 issue #19. |
39 | * ScaryShinyGlasses: [[spoiler:Gibson Praise]] |
40 | * ShoutOut: |
41 | ** To Star Wars, in Season 10 issue #19. |
42 | -->[[spoiler:'''Cigarette-Smoking Man:''']] Bill Mulder thought he'd helped destroy the menace of Project #G-23. |
43 | -->'''Mulder:''' Everybody lets their parents down sometimes. And you can keep ''dreaming'' of us ruling the galaxy together as father and son. This is where you cut off my hand and I leap to almost certain death to get away from you. |
44 | ** To Star Wars again (Alderaan), and to Star Trek (Klingons), in Season 11 issue #1. |
45 | * ThanatosGambit: [[spoiler: Gibson's ultimate goal is to trick the colonists into thinking he's a collaborator and gain their trust, so he can suicide bomb them with magnetite.]] |
46 | * TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: [[spoiler: One of the Peacocks is actually a beautiful woman. Ugliness apparently skips a generation every now and then.]] |
47 | * TimeyWimeyBall: The lost time effect of UFO encounters is still here, as per the show. It's explained as a result of the ships' method of travel warping space-time. [[spoiler:Gibson exploits this to show Mulder the BadFuture that will result if he interferes with Gibson's plans.]] |
