Product Description
Hundreds of years in the future, Manhattan has become a deadly slum, run by mutant crime-lords and disinterested cops. Stuck in the middle is a young girl who thought she had no future, but learns she has a great destiny. In a world so poisoned that it doesn't notice the monsters on its streets, how can a street kid like Fray unite a fallen city against a demonic plot to consume mankind? Joss Whedon, the celebrated creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, brings his vision to the future in this unique tale. As inventive in the comics medium as in that of television of film, Whedon spins a complex tale of a skilled thief coming of age without the help of friends or family, guided only by a demonic Watcher.

 Must have for Buffy fans... Great even if your not a Buffy fan... August 1, 2008
If you're familiar with Buffy, this is the story of a slayer hundreds of years from now. If you're not familiar with Buffy, you don't need to be to read this. Everything you need to know is explained and there are no spoilers for the show, so if you're watching Buffy and haven't seen it all you have nothing to worry about, you can read this without being spoiled. I highly recommend this to anyone reading Season 8 because there is an arc in Season 8 with Fray in it.
I only have two hands but I'm defying biology and giving it four thumbs up! Even if you're not a Buffy fan you will enjoy this. Personally, after reading this, I would rather see a movie made for Fray than for Buffy.
Another Hit by Whedon! July 14, 2008
if you are a buffy fan this is a must, If you never give buffy a chance, this is a must, if you dont have a clue about buffy this is a must... Once you read it you will want to read more and know everything about the slayer mithos.
Great starting point for those unfamiliar with Joss Whedon work...
 Well, still better than Season 7... June 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Certainly better than "Buffy: Season 7", Fray captures some of the goofy spirit that made the television show so enjoyable for so long. However, despite Whedon's best efforts (or maybe because of them), it still feels like a toothless attempt at TV series.
There are no emotional connections deep enough to surprise or shock the reader, although that doesn't stop Whedon from 'shocking' revelations at every turn.
The art is better than average, and supports the gimmicky future that Whedon has built.
Still, a mildy entertaining (if self-indulgent) contribution to the Buffy mythos, if not to the comic book industry as a whole.
Fantastic twist on the Slayer verse March 13, 2008
A fun read. Good storytelling and great artwork. Fray is not Buffy. She is a street rat and a thief, and very spunky. Worth reading!!! ~~~Liandre
 Fray is very Joss Whedon November 29, 2007
Which means snappy dialogue, great action scenes and interesting plot. The art is excellent, and there's even a giant dinosaur in there somewhere! It's very different from Buffy, Fray is more like the anti-buffy; a thief('grabber), working FOR the mutated bad guys and running from the cops. Oh, and she's a brunette. Highly recommended, especially if you're a Buffy fan.
