Joss Whedon

If you like ... Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Gwen Stefani, Dark Angel, Minority Report

Then try ... Fray by Joss Whedon (Dark Horse, $19.95)

Why? Because all Joss is good Joss. Seriously, if you liked Buffy, Angel and Firefly/Serenity, there’s a 95% chance you’ll dig this, too.

The one-off tale tells the story of Melaka Fray, a slayer who comes along several generations after Buffy Summers.

Even if you haven’t seen Buffy, this provides a great introduction to the Whedonverse, where sometimes the good guys are hideous and the damsel in distress is the buffest boy on the block.
