*Consider every link to be to a major SPOILER in this post.*
There's a great interview on Comic Book Resources with the artist for this issue (and the next three) as well as blurb and four pages of preview
The interview is, of course with Karl Moline because he's back to draw Fray, Buffy et al. in this arc, entitled "Time of Your Life". He also has some interesting things to say - the bits in bold are what I've emphasized:
"Moline added that while Buffy regulars like Willow, Dawn, Xander and Kennedy will be along for the ride in the run, so too will some familiar faces from the "Future Slayer" like Fray's older sister Erin and her ex-boss, the mutant fish, Gunther. "There will definitely be some surprise characters, a couple of curve balls during the arc", teased Moline."
and
"I don't think I could ever get tired of telling stories with Fray. If they offered me a sequel [to 'Future Slayer',], I'd snatch it up in a second. I think there are more opportunities and who knows I may get to pop up here and there in 'Buffy' also. We'll see. I am having a very good working relationship with Dark Horse right now. And I wouldn't be surprised to see a few more projects under their flag."
There's so much good news in there that my toes curl! I wonder if Melaka will return again in another arc, from the first quote, and there might be more Fray stories in addition to whatever he does on BtVS S8.
*crosses fingers*
The blurb (from here):
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Time of Your Life 16 Season Eight

Penciller: Karl Moline
Inker: Andy Owens
Colorist: Michelle Madsen

On a hot tip, Buffy and Willow head to Manhattan hoping to unlock the secrets of Buffy's mysterious scythe, but something goes terribly awry when Buffy suddenly finds herself transported to an unknown world, and into the path of future-Slayer, Fray. Buffy creator, Joss Whedon teams with his Fray co-creator, Karl Moline in "Time of Your Life." Jo Chen and Georges Jeanty join the team for covers.

and the preview pages, also from the same location:
Page 1: I love the mirror image that Buffy's very first thoughts and exactly the same as Melaka's very first in the first issue of Fray.

Page 2-3:

Page 4: Uh oh, is Dawn about to rupture? Perhaps it's shrinking pains?
