For me it was a tie between Doctor Horrible (which is an excellent critique of the superhero genre and protagonist privilege...it really plays with the audience's perceptions) and Astonishing X-men. I agree, when provided with an editor, such as Marvel, or a strong network presence such as WB or even Fox, Whedon is forced to reign it in. I think Whedon is a writer, with the possible exception of Doctor Horrible, requires a strong editorial vision.
