Basically I quite simply don't care. I'm more worried about whether Spider survives AtF than about Dawn's fate. Spider has had character development, has grown and changed and developed, concepts entirely alien to comic!Dawn I'm afraid.
I think the difference between S8 and AtF is that S8 is treated like a season with saparate arcs that connect with each other, and it's about 40 issues. So it takes years until we reach the conclusion and solve the mystery.
AtF is like a movie with 17 issues. So the events happen faster and quickly to the point.
I'm with Enisy when she said, "I think, when both "seasons" are done, and we can go back and read them from start to end, Buffy: Season 8 is going to come off the deeper and more layered of the two. But as it stands now? Angel: After the Fall is far preferrable. With the month-long breaks between issues and the slow rate at which the developments are happening, I can't even be bothered to analyze or speculate on Buffy: Season 8 (plot-wise or character-wise), knowing that it will take ages for my guesses to be confirmed or negated."
Except I enjoy S8 more than AtF, but I do like AtF. I enjoy reading fans' speculatations. Plus, I relate more to Buffy, Xander and Willow, because their issues and experiences are closer to the ones I have, plus we're all the same age this season. :D
