Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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

Which really only needed a couple panels.

Another social casualty...

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

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?
