NRAMA: What can you tell us about the Fringe Science Team that Beast and Angel are assembling?

Matt Fraction : I wish I knew more about Fringe, the TV show, before I had six damn scripts in the can, but oh well. Beast, as seen in Mike Carey & Co.’s brilliant and heartbreaking Endangered Species mini-event, tried the best he could to solve or undo the M-Day Working. And he— and science— failed. So he’s set his intellect to finding guys that not only think outside of the box, but never actually worked inside the box to begin with. He’s going around the world to both combat the mutant brain-drain and to gather some of the best and brightest and weirdest thinkers around... as clearly you need to be the best, the brightest, and at least a little bit weird to outthink a chaos genocide spell...

One character is a very, very old Marvel character. And he might not be the first mutant, but maybe the second. We’ll see.

One character is Canadian.

One character is Joss Whedon’s. That’s right— Giles is now an X-Man. Okay not really. I wish.

One character has recently returned to print— triumphantly! Although, I think I was the only person who noticed. He’s got former associations with S.H.I.E.L.D., and he’s been very, very busy with his pet lizards and moths for the last thirty years.
