all_hail_grimlock's review against another edition
I got this in an X-Files Humble Bundle and somehow was intrigued by all the other titles and forgot about this one until I noticed it in my Humble Bundle folder right now. I've been fascinated by 30 Days of Night since I heard about the concept: why hadn't someone placed vampires in Alaska, where the sun doesn't gown down for a month in some places? Specifically, Barrow. The sun doesn't set for 2 and a half months, in fact.
And furthermore, why wouldn't they in a universe in which Scully and Mulder are investigating supernatural crimes, and why might they not be sent down to Barrow to investigate?
Which means that I was enchanted by the fact that this crossover isn't just two popular horror series smashed together but that the plot line would make logical sense to me when I read it. The art isn't bad, but it's not my favorite. I feel like the writers could have nailed the Scully and Mulder characters and relationship - poking at each other- a little more. It wasn't terrible characterization, it just felt a little removed from the show.
Thus four stars instead of five. Other than those issues, it was fun, action filled, and the ending was solid while leaving IDW room for a crossover if this was popular enough. Although I suspect it wasn't because a sequel never materialized. Which is a shame: I would have read that, too.

UPDATE: It turns out I'm a baby and I had a nightmare partially based on this comic a few weeks after reading it.
I swear whoever drew this had seen Bad Blood recently because Scully made the exasperated face from it and Mulder made a cross out of flares (it was bread sticks in the episode but still.)
I loved it! The writers had Mulder and Scully's voices down pat. And the ending felt just like the ending of an episode.
