Fray

Average rating3.8
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.

This goes under my Joss-Whedon-is-god file. You can read my full review on my blog at http://knowitnotsomuch.blogspot.com/2013/01/fray.html
I must say I am really impressed by Joss Weedon. He has played an important role in the development of the Scifi Genre be it graphic novels, TV series or Movies. Fray is an interesting attempt albeit you leave the series wondering how much better it could have been. The scope is huge and the canvas to paint an unforgettable story were there. Somewhere it just falls short. Maybe it was the art. Maybe it was the dialogue. Its difficult to put a finger on in but in the end this is a decent read but short of awesome.
Slayer story set in the future. The same kind of ass-kickery that you get from a Buffy tale, just with different characters.
