I haven't read Fray yet, but I've idly browsed through a few other BtVS/AtS comics, and I particularly remember the one where in the first image Cordy was shown with huge spherical breasts and a nine-inch insectile waist.
Not to mention the one I saw yesterday with Buffy fighting the Master in a minidress and apparently no knickers. And yes, these were professional BtVS/AtS comics rather than fanart ;-)
Yikes! I've never paged through the other comics, with the exception of Tales of the Slayers... generally they remind me too much of the novelizations, which I really dislike.
Maybe the marketers/artists decided that females don't really read comics or something stupid like that...
I think it's more a case of getting artists from the superhero tradition and not keeping a close enough eye on them to stop them from reverting to the worst of that tradition art-wise.
Then he ought to tell people more often...
