I think that the last issue of Fray is coming out the day after the Buffy finale.
Or at least that's what my comic shop guy said. (I couldn't remember whether it was next month or in two months.)

Your comic shop guy is full of it, sumi. The solicitation date for Fray #8 is June 18, 2003, which is also the date printed on the inside back cover of #7. I do hear that this is a solid date, and nobody expects it to slip.

How did I not notice the date on the inside back cover?

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.
Oh, that is the best idea I've heard all day. Thank you.

I guess that depends on what happens in #8 -- if she can get rid of all the demons again.

A person's concepts should exceed their vocabulary, or what's a metaphor?
Maybe (completely unspoiled speculation as I havn't even read the comic) the demons eventually win and that's what causes everyone to flee Earth That Was. But in the history books, they call it Resource Depletion as to not scare the world's population.
It could happen.

Well, you can consider the human population a resource and I'm sure the demons would be actively trying to deplete it.

Interesting. But I think if the people on Firefly remember historical facts like ancient Egyptian slaves drinking beer, losing the entire planet to invasion by the Old Ones might be a tad difficult to skip over.

Maybe the government tried to actively discourage people from talking about it. And no one really believes in vampires and demons anyway, you know?

Punishingly Intricate
Can anybody help a lazy-ista? I've meant to read Fray from the beginning but never got around to getting a copy and now with the discussion of it in show threads I REALLY want to read the whole series. But I can't figure out where to get back issues. The Dark Horse site was no help at all.
I figured i'd wait until they were collected in book form but I don't think I'm that patient.
Any suggestions?
