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. 2336152 9 12 2003 Fray total:1343|5:494|4:562|3:248|2:34|1:5| 1343 5535 1707 155 4 10 false false Mon Jan 07 14:03:02 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 04 07:00:13 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 4 false false Tue Feb 10 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 07 18:52:07 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 10 15:53:09 -0800 2009 3 1 false false Sat Dec 20 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 19 21:42:25 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 23 07:12:10 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Tue Nov 04 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 03 22:08:35 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 05 11:55:33 -0800 2008 2

It tells the story of a teenage vampire slayer (sound familiar?), but in my opinion this character is a step up from Buffy. Melaka Fray is a 15 year old thief. In her futuristic world, vampires are known as "lurks", and the police chase her in flying cars.
