Buffy-Spike-Angel is a wondrous untapped story and interaction reservoir. It's one of the few places left unexplored. But pfft, If DH knew what they were doing they wouldn't be in the mess they are with it.
The lack of style is off-putting. The switching from issue to issue, and panel to panel sometimes, just takes you out of the story (and the writing slams the door in your face). I'm going to put it on Joss, though, 'cause I really think the tone of this was off from the very start. It doesn't feel like you're reading an adult or even a young-adult book. Its feel is more like something for children. All bright with little contrast. There's not even quantity contrast which usually comes naturally. Though they get no credit in fandom, the lighting-department on the show was very good and helped frame the story. The comics don't care. It's not Jeanty's style and Allie/the writers/whoeverOKsit don't seem to care enough to instruct him.
