Let the sunset shimmer
I wonder if Sunset has read “Zerstörung durch Fortschritte der Technologie”…
@Background Pony #D033  
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.
@Masem  
It’s possible I suppose. I had thought that the layout there was needlessly disted, and maybe that’s why.
@Millennial Dan  
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.
@Masem  
The thing is, the observer pony even had a few lines in that comic, which certainly makes the connection more strongly felt.
@Millennial Dan  
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.
@Masem  
But that’s basically what the new comic is all about.
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.

In a universe substantially more than 10 to the power 10 to the power 70 meters across this would be true.

“Soylent Green Recipes” - It’s made of ponies!
@Trickquestion  
Not so much foreshadowing as the mere fact that Andy can’t get Fringe out of his head.

Pretty soft for a Sony.

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!
And behind that book you can find Crisis On Infinite Equestrias

Oh my god, actual foreshadowing! How the hell do they do it?

@Xamrin  
Don’t forget “The First Ponies”
@RyuSpike  
No my systems still not ready for it… Perhaps after that i7EE + GTX Titan Z upgrade though… Perhaps I might then be able to play it though…
Crisis of Infinite Equestrias anybody?

@lunaz  
So go BUY IT.
@lunaz  
yay ponies… That’s all I’ll say…
im very annoyed there is NO artist link.  
there is NO links that show page 1 and so on.
 
i cant read this comic, from the beginning.
@Xamrin  
Also ZFT and The Observers are Fringe references.
You should also highlight Crossing Over by Bishop and Bell.
 
This is another Fringe homage tied to inter-dimensional travel.
