The problem is that After the Fall wasn't asking a question the way Season 8 did.
Well... yeah. It never claimed to be asking questions. It was basically a resolution to a "cliffhanger" ending that Joss didn't believe was really a cliffhanger at all. Fans wanted to know what happened next, and Brian gave us the answers. To some extent it raises the question of whether Angel was right to do this - was it worth it? - and the answer probably varies depending on your view. But it wasn't intended to be anything more than a limited-run series, so it's not going to explore the depth of issues that you'd see in a TV series, or even the season 8 comics, which at this point are sprawling on into infinity.
I guess I just don't understand getting upset about it. It was specifically intended to be a certain thing, which may not be the deep, meaningful text you wanted, but you can't really fault the comic for doing what it set out to do. If you don't like it, you don't like it, but it's not a failing of Brian Lynch that his vision doesn't match yours.
