All in all, it 'feels' to me (admittedly a wholly subjective thing) that the AtS comics are coming from an appreciation of the AtS universe and that the BtVS comics feel like Joss restaging the BtVS universe while at the same time showing little actual interest or affection for the universe he previously created.
Very astute comment. It really does feel that Joss left Buffy behind in a final kind of way. His affection died and others took its place. He clearly loved AtS and its story, fell head over heels in love with Firefly/Serenity and only came back to Buffy in the comics because it was still popular withe fans. I've only been able to read the scans online, but it definitely doesn't feel like the Buffy world I knew on the show. I'd much rather he left it at Chosen and let fanficcers play in the possibilities of the aftermath.
