I am back, and so is MONSTER OF THE WEEK.

You all know who I am*: MONSTER OF THE WEEK is Shaenon Garritty’s weekly look at X-FILES episodes. She’ll be doing Season Seven this go-round. It may be a silly go-round, because apparently Season Seven was a very silly season. It’s been a while since I watched the episodes, myself.

I mean, it’s not bad.  I’m glad that Shaenon Garrity recommended it on her X-Files recap comic Monster of the Week.  But it’s of its time; hoo, yeah.

“Monster of the Week.”

Webcartoonist Shaenon K Garritty (of Skin Horse and Narbonic fame) is now doing “Monster of the Week.”  Essentially, she’s doing a twelve-panel recap of every X-Files episode, in order.  It’s been years since I’ve seen an episode… but from what I remember, this is pretty accurate, and pretty sarcastic, and pretty funny stuff.  Check it out.
