Fray by Joss Whedon
3.0

Yes, I am on a Buffy kick here. I just finished showing season 7 of Buffy to the wife and now I can't get enough Buffy in my life haha.

So Fray is about a future Slayer. This is many years in the future after mankind has gone through really tough times. Now broken society barely able to survive we have our main character Fray going around helping people. However, when a friendly demon comes to speak to her about her faith and what her path to being a Slayer is, she begins to have to deal with a lot of her past.

Good: I actually liked Fray a lot. I thought the 2nd half of the story picked up well, always entertaining, some good one liners, and some fucked up deaths. I especially enjoyed the ending.

Bad: Some of the art at the start is pretty bad. I also thought the pacing for the first half is a little too slow to get into it much.

Overall was a pretty solid fun story. It didn't blow my mind but I heard it does boost future Buffy stories so this works. A 3 out of 5.
