The patter between Mel and fish boy is the highlight of #1. Buffy's got to kick-off some time right?Īnyway, Melaka Fray or Mel to her close and personal, is an extreme thief (ok maybe more Faith than Buffy) working for a fish guy named Gunther. You can guess where I'm going with this can't you? Fray, or Buffy Beyond as I've taken to calling it, is the story of a street smart 23rd Century (I'm just guessin' here) chick who is about to discover that she is the Chosen One. So you can imagine how stoked I was to hear that he was going to get all Kevin Smithy and try his hand at skinny books. Just imagine how good the X-MEN movie could have been if they had used his script! They are quick and smart without seeming unreal. He brings truth and life to the words that his characters speak. If there was a church, I'd be in the choir singing His Almighty praises. Now don't get me wrong! I truly believe that Joss Whedon can walk on water. Unfortunately Fray # 1 proves that even geniuses have their off-days. I truly believe that Joss Whedon can walk on water.
