At 8:00 PM on September 9, Fox will air the series premier of Fringe, the new TV show from JJ Abrams (the creator of Felicity, Alias, and Lost, as well as Mission Impossible III and the upcoming Star Trek movie). The show follows an FBI agent, a gifted high-school dropout, and his mad scientist father as they attempt to unravel the mysterious “Pattern” - a series of strange occurrences around the globe.

Though the pilot is airing in September, the show will not begin its full run until early next year. Between the pilot in September and the rest of the first season in the new year, DC Comics will be releasing a 6-issue series of prequel comics (one issue every month) designed to set up the show.
On top of that, at Comic-con a couple weeks ago, visitors to the Fringe panel were treated to a Prequel Comic, as well as a screening of the entire first episode of the series. Since then, Fringe fansite fringetelevision.com has scanned and uploaded the comic for the enjoyment of the masses. Head over there to check it out, and also take a look at the character profiles also included in the prequel comic.
And just in case you haven’t seen it yet, here’s the official promotional trailer for Fringe.
