I think that's why After the Fall is so enjoyable for many people who don't bother to analyze the underlying meaning. But for those of us who learned to appreciate AtS and BtVS for being able to read more deeply into it, AtF just falls short.

I just can't help comparing After the Fall with season 8. IMO, they BOTH fall short (which isn't surprising, considering that BtVS and AtS are very rare in being both entertaining and polysemic), and if I have to choose, I'd choose entertaining over polysemic every time. It would be nice if more things offered both, but I am far, far from the point where I would expect it, even from a BtVS or AtS comic continuation.
