Cinescape Magazine
Manages to create an identity of its own - one that takes the mythology in exciting new directions.

Synopsis
Hundreds of years in the future, 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, but 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? Joss Whedon, the celebrated creator of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", brings his vision to the future in this unique tale. As inventive in the comics medium as in that of television of film, Whedon spins a complex tale of a skilled thief coming of age without the help of friends or family, guided only by a demonic Watcher.

Customer Reviews

thirty quid?!
not got this yet but a very quick check on google revealed it to be third cheaper from waterstones!

i bet i can find it even cheaper as well!

An excellent piece of work
I've just bought this for my school library but the kids haven't got near it yet. As their librarian, it is my duty to review as many of the new titles as possible, so I brought this one home for a quick read. My verdict is that it is simply superb, a wonderfully crafted story not betraying the 'other' slayer in any way and almost surpassing her in some respects.
My wife now has this book and I fear that my students may not see it for a while longer.
Just one other thing....this was written two years ago. Where's the follow up? Hey Joss, get on to it!

Fantastic!
I've heard about the colours in this book, the bright vidid very detailed artwork and thought ok so its good but so what, but then I actually saw it, and they were ALL right. It simply is stunning!!!
The way in which its set out and the quick witted humour and sheer emotion thats put though the words is great.

Its a must for comic fans and I sugest Joss Whedon or/and Buffy verse fans try this too.

The only problem is that I want more!
