One thing I've learned from the Jossverse fandom is that people came away with a myriad of impressions about the characters and the characters emotional essences and journeys. Such impressions overlap and don't overlap in varying degrees so that it's possible for different people to walk away with substantially different views of the characters.
While I can certainly come to a place where I can see the comics as possible outcomes for the characters, it's not the most convincing outcome for me. But that's a totally subjective thing and I'm by no means saying that what I think is the only way to view the characters or the canon. It's just that so far, the BtVS comics haven't gotten me emotionally invested or particularly feeling any of the characters (some less than others) and no matter what Joss says, it doesn't click as canon for me. But that's a personal thing.
