Fringe 2: Geschichten aus der Grenzwelt

Agent Broyles turns to dust. Agent Farnsworth is arrested. Nina Sharp finds she is unexpectedly pregnant. Each case in this comics collection seems to have nothing to do with the others, and each puts one of the show's major players, or a strange encounter with its science, at the centre.

The volume gathers the six-issue miniseries Tales from the Fringe, which WildStorm published in 2010. Alex Katsnelson wrote stories alongside other writers. Federico Dallocchio and Shawn Moll are among the several artists who drew them. Panini issues it in German as its second book of comics tied to the Fox series Fringe.

Because different creators handle different chapters, the art style shifts from one story to the next. The reading is episodic, a run of self-contained cases rather than one continuous plot.

The book leaves open whether the incidents form a pattern or are coincidence. It is a tie-in for viewers of the series, not a place to begin with the franchise.
