Comic Vs TV what do you prefer?

Just a quick observation before I'm out the door: part of what the comics lack, IMO, is the density of information that moving pictures can communicate. For a quick comparison, take two similar scenes: Spike's face dropping at the end of 5.14 "Crush", and Buffy's face dropping at the end of "Season 8" #9; James Marsters sells that scene without any words, Jeanty just makes me wonder if he forgot to draw the internal monologue thought bubble explaining why she reacts that way.

Yes, the moving image does convey a scene so much better than a static one. I do think Season 8 needs some more internal dialgue to put the story over better.

This is so very true. Every scene had multiple things going on. Numfar's dance of joy, secondary characters facial reactions, small prop details that would be important later.

None of this is really getting relayed in the comics, although I've seen it done, and done well, in comic form.
