Officially up to date on all Slayerverse canon and pseudo-canon material. Brian Lynch's Spike-run was the definite highlight among the recentmost stuff, but anything with "Bill Williams" or "Scott Tipton and Mariah Huehner" on the writing credits deserves a look for those who like the universe. Of somewhat older stuff, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 8 is of course well worth a look, as are most of the Tales, and Angel: After the Fall is - oft-times ridiculously bad art issues aside - fantastic.
None of it compares even moderately to Fray, of course (well, maaaaybe After the Fall, on the writing side), but for TV characters continuing in a different medium, it's all really surprisingly high standard. If you look away from Kelley Armstrong's run of embarrasingly out-of-character-voices and ditto plots in Angel: Aftermath, anyway.
Now... BRING ON SEASON 9!
