I'd kind of expected the art to get exploitative fairly fast - the setup of a vast army of superwomen just leans too heavily into Grindhouse territory for any male comic artist to resist, I think - but I was surprised at the way JW immediately zoomed in on Buffy's sexual issues and lonlieness and estrangement from her sister instead of establishing the new girls as butt-kickers and empowered tough chicks. So far, it's been a total Xander love-fest, not a Buffy one.
