Didn't know that. Is it still in circulation, and where could I get it.
Sorry for all the questions, new to the verse but I have seen all eps of Buffy and Angel, and was interested in more. So this comic seems intriguing.

Quote:No need to apologize, questions are always welcome. And I really recommend “Fray,” it is a spectacular and unique contribution to the “Buffyverse,” combining Joss’ usual brilliance with some world-class artwork. It’s set several centuries after the end of “Buffy” and follows the experience of another vampire slayer, Melaka Fray, the first to be called in hundreds of years. “Fray” was where the Scythe--the big red axe thingy from “Buffy’s” seventh season--made its first appearance. The comics should also be dear to the heart of browncoats because it was here that Joss first developed the slang term “ruttin’” as part of his futuristic dialect.

“Fray” is available in trade paperback format, published by Dark Horse. It should still be available in most comic book shops and you can also get it from Amazon. “Fray” is one of the three canonical comic book collections, the other two being “Tales of the Slayers” and “Tales of the Vampires,” which are available in the same places. Whedon recently announced that he will write more canonical comics that would serve as a de facto Season Eight for “Buffy.”
“Fray” was written before “Buffy” came to an end and as a result there are some inconsistencies between the “Buffy” finale and the events in “Fray.” Whedon has said he wants to explain those inconsistencies in future projects. And since he seems to be planning something major, most folks feel that it will among other things bridge the gap between the end of “Buffy” and the future world of “Fray.” Here’s what Joss had to say about the future of the Buffyverse in his big post on Whedonesque last November:

Speaking of Darkhorse Comics, they are starting a new Buffy comic, and as I understand it, it will take place after the end of Buffy and Angel and be canon in the Buffy world. And I understand it that way 'cause I'M WRITING IT. I'm kicking off the book with a four issue arc that finds Buffy -- you guessed it -- living in Italy with The Immortal. (Scott -- don't be mad I spoiled the announcement -- saying it means I have to finish it.) Then I'll be overseeing the book more closely, to make sure it remains true. Gonna be interesting. And it just might tie in to...
The infamous Spike movie. Still haven't finalized anything, but I feel that very soon I'll be able to go to James and say something a lot more interesting than "Wouldn't it be cool if..." 'Course, I just hope he's free some time this decade. See how my peeps is all actifying! Tomorrow night is AMIAS, (that's alias with Acker in it.) Happy. And totally jealous.
See, the Buffyverse glows in my brain with a new, overreaching arc that will include the comics, Spike, and more. It's taking shape and soon you will know its name. And you will tremble.

Thanks for the response, very interesting I will try to get the comic Fray and maybe also pick up the other two. Besides anything that Joss writes usually is gold. Also, thanks for the excerp, if he is doing another series of comic on buffy i'm all for it. Once I read Fray, I'll tell what i thought.
