Well I guess Jeanty's drawing the character not the actor :-) Now see Franco Urru does that in Asylum. His Spike is quite simply just Spike, in every way. Jeanty's work is a serious obstacle in my enjoyment of s8.
he *is* good at showing what that character is feeling. Yes, but since I don't care about that character, it's rather irrelevant.
whatever the comics equivalent is of cinematography/editing, the composition of the pages is nicely varied, mixing close-ups and long shots and patterning the panels in interesting ways. Hm. Interesting is a nice way of describing it, but I'm not sure it's *good*. And overall his work really can only be described as 'competent' - it certainly has good parts, but it's not... inventive. And he really can't do action. (Having just re-read issues 1 and 2 of 'Spike vs Dracula' I have to say that I've mellowed somewhat towards Jeanty. Sure his Buffy looks nothing like *my* Buffy, but at least she isn't ugly.)
