But, yeah, Dollhouse comics? Very exciting!

I'm sure that could easily be solved in a one-shot or a 4-part mini-series, but I'd be more interested in that than I would about the continuation of the Epitaph stories.

We were prematurely forced out of the Buffyverse six years ago, and certainly there are many Firefly stories left to tell. However, the narration of Dollhouse had a proper closing. It felt finished to me (and everyone I spoke with). What good could possibly come from coming up with some contrived way to continue it now? I'd say, let it rest.

Speaking solely for myself, I need more of Dollhouse stories much more than I need those of Buffy or Angel. I think both of those shows ended on a perfect note true to each show's style of storytelling. I enjoyed the time I spent with the characters and it was great to "join" their adventures, but at the end I felt that it was time for me to let them go and live their lives without me being a witness. I know that seasons 8 and 6 are considered canon, but I prefer to use my imagination.
I feel the same about post-Epitaph2 stories. If they write comic books set in that time frame, I would not be interested. But unlike Buffy or Angel, Dollhouse has a ten year gap in its narrative, making possibilities for stories pretty much endless.
And of those "fill in the gap" type of stories I'll take as many as they can give me. Though I would prefer them to center on the main and supporting characters of the show, since I care little to nothing about the Epitaph1 guest characters. That said, the DVD included comic was fun, especially "president Perrin" and "my name is Ivy" bits of it.

Also I'm not really interested in the "mystery" of what Echo is doing like Scott says, just give me some illustrated Eliza please. :PPP

The route they have taken, of filling in the moments between the fall of civilisation and the Epitaphs, seems to be the most logical and least jarring for the fans of the show.

I agree that the series was rushed at the end, and there are gaps in stories, and entire story lines dead ended that all could be explained via comic form. I often fantasize about Dominic and Clyde’s adventures in the Attic and what tales could be told of that. I’d also think Gaiman should pen that imaginary storyline, but that’s me doing a fan wank.
Dollhouse on comic? Great idea. A lot of demons could get vented and fans could rest easier. This will be something I add to my pull box.
