Even further than that. The comics embrace many of the same tropes that the show actively mocked because they were aware of it.
I genuinely do think Joss's intent with the comics was similar to what he did with CitW, except he did a much better job there because he was upfront with it. That movie mocked the way horror writers remove identity to pigeon-hole characters into stereotypes and tropes. The comics do the same thing except there was no call-out. Yet, anyway. I thought there would be one at the end of S8, the big Wake-Up moment, but then Joss got busy and he's going to stay busy.
