I think that there were even times, early in the issues, that the whole plot could have been salvaged (perhaps by a total BtVS writers' reunion and a round-table with some of the actors), but it's far too late for that.
Joss reminds me a little of Stephen King. Stephen King is a great story-teller, but not a strong writer (grammatically/structurally), but his ideas have created some of the most lasting characters, stories, and images in horror. Maybe Joss should have done with Dark Horse that he did with IDW- working with the writer to create the outline and then stepping away to only offer more ideas and/or advice.
