I don't know, for being a year in the making Fray #7 struck me as a whole lotta standing around and not doing much.

The giant monster-as-demon-womb struck me as pretty weird. If portals and Hellmouths and such can't be opened anymore, how did it get here in the first place? And if they can, wouldn't that be a more effective way of bringing the demons back?

Nothing happened, that I could tell, except that her sister is on her side.

Which really only needed a couple panels.

The one thing I got out of Fray #7 is that Slayers do seem to (S7 Buffy) speechify . And when they do, it's not pretty.

I thought that the whole year's wait was about the artist not about the story.

Maybe we should just change the rules

I like the one week rule. Not everyone can get to the comics shop the day an issue comes out. You can't set a VCR to buy your comic for you if you're going to be working late. And since Fray #8 doesn't come out a week after Fray #7 (hahahaha! nearly broke a rib there), we don't have the same urgency that we have with the TV eps.

Okay, there was a lot I liked. The scene of Harth addressing the sea of vamps reminded me of Buffy's vision of Isengaard!Turok-Hans .

And the sister dropping her car on badass!vamp was FUNNY. Very Jossy. As was a lot of the dialogue.

I still love Urkonn. He is the MAN.

I loved the two double-page spreads.

I had no idea that there was already a Vol. 3 of Tales of the Slayers (the stories not the comic).

Thanks for the heads up on that, sumi. Amazon has it listed as being a 4-6 week shipment, so I wonder if it's even out yet. Did you see a copy somewhere?

ETA: Duh. If I had looked a little closer I would have seen in the publication details that it has a November 1, 2003 release date.

No, I saw it on Amazon. Usually when the book isn't out they give a release date, don't they?
