You're right about the artwork. It's fabulous, even if it did take a year to produce.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Urkonn is the Mother Fucking Man.
Overall, though, felt a little light.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Urkonn is the Mother Fucking Man.
I love the panel where he hands the red axe back to Mel, holding it in his huge claws, which just emphasized his size.
t edit Although my favorite Urkonn Moment is the 3-panel scene where Loo meets him for the first time and just asks "Got any candy?" and he stares at her for 1 panel and then just says "No" in the last panel.
Followed very closely by the "You hib me wib a GIRDER!" scene.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
I'm quite fond of
"He set himself on FIRE!"
"Maybe he was cold."
For a big ooky demon, Urkonn's got an interesting personality. Very Gilesy.

I laugh at that every time I read it.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I was SO convinced Urkonn WAS Giles at the beginning. Haven't read the new one yet, but I've divested myelf of that opinion. He's just very, very Gileslike.

Is Urkonn supposed to be a Fyarl demon like Giles was turned into in "A New Man"?

Also, I did love the opening scene. Here we are, all primed for a fight ("my hands aren't even trembling"), and then WHAM! no fight. Reminds me of the Raiders scene where Indy shoots the guy with the sword.
LOVED this. So very Jossy.
Yeah, very Firefly
Very Mal in Serenity
This is where the bits that are non-Buffy show.
And I think that lifts Fray out of the Buffyverse and becomes more something separate of Joss'.
That said, the slayer references are great. The hands, especially.
He's just very, very Gileslike.
Yes!

And Matt is a genius.

I've got a Q for the Fray readers...with Free Comic Book Day upon us, I'm gonna head on over to my local shop and snag some of the freebies, plus take a look at Fray, which I'm hoping they'll have. However, I haven't read any of the previous issues, so my Q is, will I be totally lost if I get it?

will I be totally lost if I get it?
Hard to say. But it'll ruin a lot of the HSQ if you don't read them in sequence.
