"Wave" set
The original VHS release The X-Files in North America consists of selected episodes of each of the first four seasons, which were released in staggering beginning in 1996.
Each "wave" is three VHS tapes, each containing two episodes, for a total of six episodes per wave and two waves per season (for example, the release of Wave 1 home videos taken from the first half of the first season: "Pilot"/"Deep Throat" , "Conduit"/"Ice" and "Fallen Angel"/"Eve"). Each wave is also available in a set of boxes. In the end 12 episodes (approximately half the total number being broadcast) were chosen by Chris Carter to represent each season, including almost all "arc mythology" episodes and selected separate episodes. Carter will briefly introduce each episode on the recording with an explanation of why it was selected and anecdotes from the set. These same clips are then included in The X-Files full season DVD. The 8th wave covering the last part of the fourth season is the last one to be released. The "wave" VHS tape was not released for the fifth and subsequent seasons, so there was no "interview" Carter for the selected episodes that were included on the DVD.
The last wave (wave 8 of the VHS series) does not have a collection card (one per videotape) as it has been included in each of the previous seven waves/releases.

Magazine
The X-Files spawned an official magazine, released monthly by FOX. This includes articles about the main series, stars and guest stars (with interviews), creators, sets and upcoming episodes.
Books
During running the hit TV series The X-Files, many of the books based on it were released, written, including novels based on episodes, a series of comic books from Topps Comics, and many "official" and non-fiction books "unauthorized ".
Some of the novels, published in hardcover and paperback trade editions, came out as audiobooks read by two serial stars, Gillian Anderson and Mitch Pileggi.
Comics
X-Files has become the basis of a number of comics, especially the series from Topps Comics, with creators like Tony Isabella, Stefan Petrucha, and Charlie Adlard. Recently, Wildstorm has signed Frank Spotnitz to three comic book deals, the first to be released two weeks before the X-Files premiere: I Want to Believe .
Publication history
The main series was published by Topps Comics and contained 41 issues from January 1995 to September 1998.
There are also two limited series: Ground Zero is a four-edition mini-series (December 1997 - March 1998) and Season One running for 9 issues (July 1997 - July 1998).
This essence consists of three issues published twice a year from December 1995 to December 1996, with separate titles: "Big Foot, Warm Heart," "Dead to the World" and "Scape Goats." The first two also include stories from Ray Bradbury Comics.
There are also some songs such as Hero Illustrated Special (March 1995), and graphic novels such as Afterflight (August 1997).
Wildstorm released, "The X-Files Special", in August 2008. It will be a one-shot to coincide with the release of the second film written by Frank Spotnitz with art by Brian Denham. The agreement signed by Spotnitz is two other comics.
Plot
Three digest contains stories about Bigfoot being hunted, Count of St. Germain and chupacabra, respectively.
Afterflight deals with the mysterious plane's flap elements.
Fight the Future is the official film adaptation, "Fight the Future" into subtitle film, used to distinguish it from the television series.
Season One adapted several episodes of the first season: "Pilot", "Deep Throat", "Squeeze", "Conduit", "Ice", "Space", "Fire", "Beyond the Sea" and "Shadows". The other two, "The Jersey Devil" and "Ghost in the Machine", were requested but never published.
Although it coincides with the film, "The X-Files Special" will not be an adaptation but is set in what writer Frank Spotnitz calls the "classical period of X-Files" - between Season 2 and Season 5. While this is a stand-alone story, wrote two more that fit the broader conspiracy theories that developed, saying, "the next one I will write into the mythology of the event is not in a way that changes the way but deepens a bit."
Problems
Tony Isabella reported the difficulty with Chris Carter's X-Files maker of the Topps Comics series:
"[W] hoever approve of the above comics in Chris Carter Land is a poster for children for anal retentiveness, though they may be so choosy because they never wanted comics out there in the first place.The main reason the comics fell behind the schedule was because it took a long time to satisfy the X-Files people They check everything with a nice toothed comb, including a column of letters.... I rarely put negative letters in these columns because the [Topps] editors fear that X- Files will want more changes in the material.Almost from the beginning, there is never enough mail that can be used for our needs.That's why I started to incorporate news articles "Deep Postage" - and compiled the letters completely.I also wrote the Xena letter column , but it's much easier to produce. "
