And there are absolutely no nuances in the comics.
That's my impression as well. I read them and wondered if Joss has lost his creative streak. Then I read the script of Dollhouse pilot and it was a feast. Gripping story, well-defined characters, intriguing twists - I was totally captivated. Then again, maybe I enjoyed it so much because it was a text. I read it and I could mentally "see" what I read. And the pictures in my brain moved and talked, I could "hear" Eliza's voice with her typical inflections, I could "see" Tahmoh's reactions, I could easily project my own vision on the words on the page. But I can't make comics panels "move" no matter how hard I try. Maybe it's because I don't have any previous experience in comics.
my lack of appreciation for Jeanty's art may be a factor.

If only Jo Chen could do all the panels...
