As a huge fan of the Fringe Television series, I knew I had to add this graphic novel to my collection. I was a bit put off by the list price of $19.99 for such a short book. However, Amazon came through with a much more reasonable price which convinced me to order it. Anywho, the graphic novel details the meeting of a young Walter Bishop and William Bell and follows them on some of their earlier experiments/adventures. At first it seems to loosely tie into the television series. However, if you have been watching with a close eye as I have, you will notice that some of the events within this novel are mentioned in the television show. It also reveals some interesting events leading up to Oliva's arrival to the mental institution where Walter was being held. The book finishes with a few back stories involving other experiments from "The Pattern" and some revelations about Massive Dynamic practices. Overall, I found this to be a good read. However, I felt it was too short for its list price. That is why I'm rating it a 4 out of 5 stars.
