From the creator of Buffy comes a new heroine, Melaka Fray. In Fray, Whedon brings the Buffyverse into a new era. Basically, as he says in the introduction, his new graphic novel is Buffy with flying cars.
That being said, why fix something that ain’t broke? Fans of Buffy will embrace Fray.
Fans will remember that Buffy empowered all of the potential slayers at the end of season 7. Hundreds of years later, the line of slayers has died out, and Melaka Fray, master criminal, is the world’s only hope.
Led by a demon Watcher, Melaka reluctantly fights to protect a Manhattan slum from the lurks (aka vampires).
Fray takes the Buffy mythology in an interesting new direction and brings the same ass-kicking action fans have come to love. I would definitely recommend Fray to any Buffy fans.

I loved your review of Fray. I hope you don’t mind, but I’ve linked to it as part of my own.
