Diamond Comics Distributors definitely has Fray #7 listed as shipping this week. Yay!
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

I'm beginning to understand this now. It's all about the journey, isn't it?
According to the BBC,Buffy novelizations will continue.

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert
Just dropping in to note the Fray #7 is in the stores today, and I have my copy in my hands right now! (OK, it's out in the car, but it was in my hands just a few minutes ago, I swear!)
I pulled out all of my older issues of Fray last night and read them to get up to speed. I think I showed tremendous restraint that I held off on reading #7 until after work.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I find I have to skim all the back issues everytime a new Fray comes out. This time, I think a thorough reread is in order.

Art Crawl!!!
I just read my copy!!!
I'm catching a bit of a Firefly vibe in the dialog and finding some season 7 parallels.
Haven't reread the last six -- it could be that the dialogue always was like this and that Firefly's dialogue has a Frayesque vibe.

I think this is it, sumi. Because I can remember hearing something in my first Firefly episode that made me think of Fray
and finding some season 7 parallels.
Good. Because otherwise the delay would be unforgiveable.
And since I have mine (mine, mine, my Fray, mine!) I'm exiting this thread stage right until I'm all read up!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Rats, my local store was out, and Newbury's slack jawed employees hadn't put today's issues out yet. Bother.

I really liked the issue. The "Firefly-esque" dialogue can be traced to the use of the word "rutting" as a curse. This word has been used throughout the series, so yes, it would probably be more appropriate to say that Firefly had "Fray-esque" dialogue.
That makes me think that it would be easy to tie Firefly to the Buffyverse, by having the show take place in Fray's future.
I am praying that we see (S7 speculation) Buffy either find or build the red axe. If that happens, I may pass out.
I wonder how sales will be for this issue. I used this as a test for my comic shop. I'm a subscriber, and I did not mention that the new issue was coming out, but I had Fray on my pull-list from way back. I was pleased that my shop owner remembered to pull it.

I know this is non-NAFDA, so where can we talk about Fray in relation to Buffy (including Season 7)? Can we do it here if we white font with warning?
