Fray #6

Melaka Fray finds herself in dire straits on this Karl Moline and Andy Owens cover, caught between two snarling demons — one looming above her with fists raised and another rising from churning water clutching a red weapon — all set against a gritty, stacked-tenement waterfront. Part six of eight in Joss Whedon's futuristic Slayer saga, this 2002 Dark Horse series continues to deliver a compelling blend of sci-fi dystopia and supernatural threat. If you've been following Fray's harrowing journey, this penultimate stretch of the story looks to raise the stakes considerably.
