In Cambridge, Massachusetts, a young William Bell and Walter Bishop are conducting an experiment when a mysterious man named Bradbury arrives.

Synopsis - Strangers on a Train

A man named Johnson wakes up disoriented on a train pulling into Hoboken. He realizes he has lost a very important briefcase, and that he's got an inexplicable wound on his forehead. When he arrives at home, a dangerous representative of "the agency" scorns him for losing the briefcase, but says he'll give Johnson has a chance to fix the problem. Johnson seeks the help of a friend, who refers him to an odd man named Anthony who can "find anything". Anthony asks where and when Johnson last saw the briefcase, and then gives him a device. |
Trivia
- The planned original release date was to be September 17, 2008, but was pushed back because:
- - The writer’s of the show want to make sure the comic book is integrated into the mythology of the FRINGE world, so we have decided to refocus the direction of the comic book. Unfortunately, this means that we will have some delays, but will be back in January. - Hank Kanalz, VP/General Manager of WildStorm Comics
