Wow! What fun! :) My favorite stories would have to be "Peter and the Machine" and Peter as a superhero. :) Nina's arm was fun, too! I hope there are more comics in the future!

Reading this today eased the pain of the end of Fringe coming next week. Honestly its so hard to remember the details of pre-invasion Fringe-verse so I found myself wishing I had read it during season 4 sometime. But it was a lovely and entertaining distraction, imagining Astrid as a spy, Walter as a butler, etc. Not NEARLY enough Olivia, but you can't always get what you want. Totally worth reading.

So there's not much description there, is there? And, really, there's not a common theme that runs through these collected comics. But, they are lots of fun. The story written by Joshua Jackson connects season 3 and 4 of the TV show and is very interesting. I could tell that Jackson loves the show and the mysteries surrounding it. It had that Fringe-ness to it that I love about the show. Most of the other stories are "what if" scenarios where we see a world where Walter's a rock star, Walter outlives the rest of the world, Astrid is a kick-butt spy, the team is a group of art thieves ala Oceans 11. But my favorite what if story in the group has Peter as a playboy crime fight like Batman. It's great! I found these comics to be a fun addition to the Fringe television show.
