I loved your post to aycheb below, because of course that is always the problem, we all look at the comics and see different things. It may hurt my heart that you are thinking of giving up the Buffy comics (or worse: liliaeth's attitude that Joss is the worse thing about his own creation!). But it is clearly ludicrous for me to argue and hope to change your mind. Obviously something either gives you pleasure or it doesn't. For me, I'm more excited about the Buffy comics because I have missed those characters more, and I am looking forward to the different authors' segments with huge anticipation (Jane Espenson! Yay!), but of course that is to take nothing away from Brian Lynch's upcoming 'Angel: After the Fall' which I'm sure will be full of huge fun and surprises (for me the knowledge that Joss had planned up coming stories for Angel & company just makes me anxious to hear what they are).
I'm more forgiving about Georges' artwork, I feel that making consistently good comic book art, keeping the characters separate and recognizable, AND getting in the wide shots and action (which I think Georges does a particularly good job of) is difficult enough without having to worry about meeting every fan's expectations of how the actor image should look. For me, I'm willing to forget the actors and enjoy his vision of the characters. SMG & Nick Brendon can age as much as they like (I always thought that SMG had lied a bit about her age and was starting to look older than her character should look, besides letting her self get WAY more thin than buff little Buffy should get) but Buffy & Xander are still in their early 20s in my comics.
