Tis the season for the annual X-Files X-mas issue, and this one was mildly entertaining. It is basically an adaptation of “A Christmas Carol” where Mulder is visited by ghosts of Christmases past, present, and future. Overall, it’s pretty silly and not really worth the $7.99 I spent on it, but the smoking man as Jacob Marley (Morley – ha ha) almost made it worthwhile.
There was one quote that I found interesting:
I find encouraging one’s imagination often leads to a purer understanding of the reality that informs it.
Many people look at fantasy and imagination as an escape from reality, but I do not see it that way. Imagination allows us to perceive the fabric of the universe, which reality rests upon. There are some things that can only be glimpsed through the imagination, but that does not make them any less real than what we perceive with our ordinary senses.
Anyway, that’s all I have to share about this graphic novel. It’s pretty mediocre, but if you are a die-hard X-fan like myself, you might find it entertaining.
Cheers!

I like your interpretation of that quote, Jeff. It’s true that Fantasy is often balked as being too far-fetched but really at the core there is a tie to real life and lessons to learn.
Thanks for your comment, Christy. As a poet, I’m not surprised that you are able to grasp the connection. Hope you have a wonderful day.
