Manhattan has become a deadly slum, run by mutant crime lords and disinterested cops. Stuck in the middle is a young girl who thought she had no future until she learns she has a great destiny. In a world so poisoned that it doesn’t notice the monsters on its streets, how can a street kid like Fray unite a fallen city against a demonic plot to consume mankind?
 
Drawn by Karl Moline and inked by Andy Owens, Fray was a success in its time despite it’s obvious problems in the schedule. Due to Whedon’s other projects, Fray was put on the bottom of his list, but was eventually completed in 2003.
 
With the eight issue mini-series completed, fans asked for a sequel to his original tale, and the possibility of a live-action show was discussed. Melaka made her return in Buffy Season Eight and returned again in the Season Twelve finale. But that’s all in her future. Now, it’s time to find out how we got there…

THE SERIES

In every generation there is a Chosen One. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer.

For two hundred years, since the last Slayer of the 21st century banished all demons and magicks, the legend of the Slayer and the vampires has become nothing but urban myth. In the 23rd century, a young girl named Melaka Fray is about to change all of that… When approached by a demon named Urkonn, Melaka learns that she is the Slayer, the Chosen One of her time.

What follows is an unique journey that takes Mel back to her roots. She learns new truths and devastating secrets, and in the end, she will be forced to confront her greatest failure. But none of that is of consequence.

For she is the Slayer…
