Look at the pile of four books just to the right of Sunset. From top to bottom the titles are ‘ZFT’, ‘The Observers’, ‘Memento Mori’, and ‘Who Was Megan?’

Rarity and the Curious Case of Charity also has a reference to Pinkie’s giant Pinkie suit from the comics. And both have references to Under the Sparkling Sea.

I am not sure, but would edge on the side that that is Andy’s addition. Look at that page’s layout:
Knowing that Katie is going to script out with accurate information (being a comic artist herself), I would not be surprised if this started on her side as the simple 4 center s w/ Luna in a horizontal layout. Andy, seeing the opportunity to embellish without really altering Katie’s story, added in the four border s to inject the Observer there. Note how the text lettering in those s is not consistent with the others, suggesting Andy added those parts and were not part of the script.
Again, I drop back to what Katie herself has said: she has never seen Fringe and so anything she specifically writes is happenstance.

No, not really. At least, Fringe has no claim of originality on the concept of a mirror/alternate-self universe, it’s just the show’s execution was done rather well to make it a good human drama. So far, only Andy’s art has made the explicit connection (Observer, “There’s More than One of Everything, etc.”) and as bg art.
As Andy has said, the little nods to Fringe are his, but as Katie has never watched the show, all you can expect are small drops, we’re not going to get a whole plot reference to Fringe directly.

If very little makes it from the IDW comic canon to the show canon, I desperately hope that Tiberius makes it to the show! I would buy the Heck out of a Luna toy with pet Tiberius!
