Hey guys, to make up for the tardiness of our latest Fringe review (both me and Roth’s schedules have been conflicting the last two weeks) here are a bunch of pics I took of the props from Fringe’s alternate universe that were on display at Meltdown Comics in Hollywood. John Noble and some of the writers were there signing autographs (unfortunately I got there too late to see John Noble – damn you super addictive Fallout New Vegas!).
The event was put on to help the charity Autism Speaks and the 5 alternate universe DC comic covers that were shown in the Season 2 finale episode of Fringe were being auctioned off. You can see those pics below as well as a cast signed copy of Fringe Season 2 I won in the raffle and many other cool alternate universe props.
Of all 5 covers my favorite one was the Superman Returns which is an alternate take on Frank Miller’s classic The Dark Knight Returns. The props I really liked seeing the most were the alt universe currency, the quarantine amber, and the show me ID cards.
Which ones do you like the most?
Special thanks to Meltdown Comics and Sax Carr who put the event together

Wait, you missed meeting John Noble so that you could play a video game that you own that would have been there when you got back? Dude ….
Unfortunately I didn't know John Noble was going to be there at 5pm, actually thought he would be there later because the auction ended at 8:30pm, so I didn't want to show up at 5 and wait for three hours. Sucks though wish I had known.

I was there too! Got to meet/talk to John Noble, JH Wyman, Jeff Pinkner, and Akiva Goldsman! I got a call today that I won the signed DVD set from the raffle, but I haven't picked it up yet. I hope more people showed up later, because it was a pretty light crowd at 5:30.
At the end with the raffle there was about 20 people, so not that many. I think there was too much time 5-9pm and the audience probably was spread thin. How many people were there 5:30?

No country anywhere in the world today has an enforceable gold standard or silver standard currency system.
Along with her sisters, on her back is the slave mark of the Tenryuubito, something that she was so intent on keeping secret and was willing to petrify anyone (other than her sisters and Elder Nyon) who saw it. In order to make sure it was never seen, she and her sisters concocted a lie that what was really on the sisters' backs were pairs of Gorgon eyes which would petrify anyone who sets eyes on them. Hancock uses this "curse" as an excuse for her and her sisters' Devil Fruit abilities.
