In the final issue of Joss Whedon s Fray the Slayer s brother has led a vampire war to not only overtake Haddyn but also to bring to Earth a demonic dragonbut the harshest threat to Fray remains unseen and unnamed Joss Whedon the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer wraps up his comics masterpiece with just the right balance of twists and turns and intense drama that you ve come to expect from his shows with the epic action and fantastic creatures that you just can t fit on the small screen Be here for a conclusion we promise you didn t see coming Joss Whedon s Fray 8 Fray Future Slayer NOTE This review applies to the entire eight issue limited series I read physical copies of the original comic books in a single sitting. PDF Joss Whedon's fraymakers If you took the premise of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and set it in the world of The Fifth Element you d have Fray It s a very clever extension of the Buffy franchise brought to us by the writer who originally created it for the movies then re envisioned it as a groundbreaking TV series Further the comic book format allowed for Joss Whedon to go where his unrestrained imagination took him rather than being beholden to budgetary limitations and production logistics consequently the creatures set pieces and futuristic production design are really spectacular wonderfully rendered by Karl Moline and Andy Owens with just the right degree of magic realism. Joss Whedon's Fray pdf editor Despite the innovative setting though the plot is for the most part your standard issue Chosen One origin story not altogether different beat for beat from that of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie And like the original feature film Fray would ve been better served as the launchpad for a subsequent series that could ve expanded upon the mythology but because there were inexplicably never any full fledged sequels save as I understand it a few cameo appearances by Melaka Fray in other Buffy related comics what we re ultimately left with here is a good start that never developed into anything great or groundbreaking in its own right like how the movie might ve been remembered had the TV show never emerged from it. Joss whedon's fraya after And like the Buffy feature Fray isn t really about anything other than a super hero s journey an average utterly underestimated girl learns she has a special destiny Buffy s storytelling peaked during the second and third seasons of the television series after it dispensed with all the narrative setup when it served as a powerful allegory for the adolescent experience enduring the hell of high school losing your virginity etc That s when its central metaphor was firing on all cylinders the show struggled in later seasons when the characters were no longer high school students and their monstrous encounters were or less stripped of their subtextual resonance With that in mind What is Fray ultimately about and what does it have to say about those thematics I would argue not much Conceptually it s a very clever sci fi horror hybrid Melaka Fray is equal parts Buffy Summers and Rick Deckard but the story itself doesn t operate as an allegory for a relatable human or emotional experience it s just Buffy set in the future And to be sure Fray is extremely entertaining with sharp dialogue some surprising plot twists and a heroine cut from the same cloth as Buffy Faith and Cordelia a take no s t badass as quick with a snappy comeback as she is with a stake through the heart who nonetheless conceals layers of depth and pain beneath the surface. Humor and comedy joss whedon's fray pdf Fray is without question a solid start to a franchise that ultimately never was Pity because in a media landscape of sequels prequels reboots and revivals Fray unlike Kiersten White s dreadful YA novel Slayer is a master class in artistic innovation over imitation in how to reinvent a concept rather than simply replicate it To read Fray is to recognize that as he had with the Buffy screenplay a decade earlier Whedon was on to something with tremendous creative potential Kindle Edition A very satisfying conclusion It s a shame this is where the Fray story ends Kindle Edition
