I'm having a hard time reconciling this tepid collection of short stories with "Written by staffers from the hit television series" in the blurb. Perhaps I can be unkind and suggest that the "staffers" in these stories made the tea for the crew, because there's very little that even hints at the heights that a series like Fringe reached.
A lot of the stories don't even have any of the main cast in them, and then ones that do only feature one of them at a time. The best I can say about them is that they are vignettes, but more accurately they are pages torn from a script that never made it to the screen and as such exist in a vacuum with no context to the series as a whole. One or two of the stories were a bit more interesting in that they filled in gaps in a characters back story, but even then it feels like something that was cut for time rather than a coherent series of stories.
The artwork is hit and miss, with most missing the mark by a long way.
I'm only giving this 2 stars because I didn't actually hate it, it just feels like flogging a dead cow.

Me ha decepcionado bastante. La primera serie de comics está considerablemente mejor: los capítulos de historias individuales eran mucho más interesantes y llamativas y los capítulos más relacionados con la serie eran emocionantes e informativos.
En este caso, tenemos varios capítulos de varios de los personajes principales y salvo un par, son bastante chorras y lo mismo ocurre con las historias independientes.
Una pena.

Some neat tales that fill in some gaps in the overall storyline of Fringe.
