Fox’s Fringe gets comic prequel

June 26, 2008

In what can only be described as another shameless way to make cash from the
poor viewing audience USA Today has reported that DC comics are to release a
prequel comic to J.J. Abrams’ fall television show Fringe. Right now nothing is
written or drawn but the prequel is said to hit stands on August 27th in the US only.

The catch is for those who watch the slow later internationally unless an international
publication deal is made a section of the story will be kept from the audience.
A way around that is to include the book in the season boxset if one is ever released.

The below summary is sourced from comingsoon.net and Fox so credit to the writer and the site.

“Joshua Jackson (”Dawson’s Creek”), John Noble (”The Lord of the Rings”) and newcomer
Anna Torv star as an unlikely trio who uncover a deadly mystery involving a series of
unbelievable events and realize they may be a part of a larger, more disturbing pattern
that blurs the line between science fiction and technology”.
