Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 # 16 - Time Of Your Life, Part One

I was so excited when I hear that Melaka Fray was back and was eager to see her in action in this issue. She however only shows up at the very end. It's a major cliff ahnger leaving you gaping disbelievingly at the page screaming "AND THEN!?!" i don't know what more to say except that I'm a little disappointed. I was hoping for a lot more than just a "bum bum bum" moment. Oh, and Dawn's a centaur...a slight improvement to the whole giant thing, they'll feed her less now I suppose but seriously Dawn hasn't really changed, she's till as whiny as ever. I'm so confused with this girl. Does she or does'n't she want a normal life?

I will be totally honest...I have never read a comic with Fray in it before, but I have heard of her and when I saw the beautiful cover of this issue...I was honestly excited. The first splash page should be made into a poster...the whole Buffy vs Fray picture is very very awesome. Sure I read one review that said they were disappointed with how little Fray was here...but there were so many other things going on that I was still very happy and Fray will be in the next issue too. Dawn gets a new look and the comedy ensues as Buffy and Willow go to New York...it is damn funny.
