Joss Whedon's Fray #8

Cover by: Karl Moline & Andy Owens

The SMASH hit comics series by Joss Whedon comes to a stunning conclusion!

When a hero dies, it's customary for a portrait to be rendered, an idealized and iconic image symbolizing all their courage, and thanking them for the good they've done and the lives they've saved. A portrait showing the hero at their best, at their strongest. A portrait not only to memorialize their death, but also increase their legend. A portrait like this cover.

Or maybe we just didn't want to give away what happens inside the book. Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, together with Karl Moline, Andy Owens, and Dave Stewart, deliver the stunning climax to the most widely acclaimed comics series of the past year. This book, which has taken a young girl from the depths of the ghetto through the spires of skyscrapers, and pitted her against vampires, dragons, and family members has truly saved the best for last. Do not miss it!
