Title: Shiny
Product review: I enjoyed Fray. It's not a towering epic, but it's a good story and fun to read. Since it's Joss Whedon, there's snappy dialogue, teenage girls with superpowers, and flying cars. Also a hellmouth, abyssal sidekicks, and a legendary weapon that looks like the angry love child of a spear and a battleaxe.One thing I love about the way this man writes science fiction is, he doesn't get caught up in the technology. Other writers focus on the complexity of their gadgets; Whedon focuses on the complexity of his characters. Not that they're terribly complex, but they certainly clear the bar for the genre by a great deal. Fray is a graphic novel about people, and it happens to contain glittery space things that incinerate worlds. Scratch that-- there's a huge insecty demon, but no glittery world incineration.Anyway, I liked it. It didn't blow up my mind real good, but it was very cool. I'm pretty sure that was the idea.
