Fifteen years ago, the end of the world—the anticipated “Millennium Event”—was avoided thanks to the efforts of Frank Black and FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. Or was it? Frank’s psychic gifts have been showing him that evil has continued to grow unabated in the world, and he’s trying his best to ignore it. But soon the resurgence of the Millennium Group and their quest to find Frank’s daughter, Jordan, will pull him into the fray once again. TPB • FC •

X-Files/ 30 Days of Night brings together two iconic franchises, pitting the government's best supernatural investigators against a horde of parasitic vampires.
