Does he mention that he has a child at ALL in the comics? Even if not by name?
Nope, not at all. Of course, any mention of it would require, at the very least, an explanation of how a vampire could have a baby in the first place (and presumably with whom, and I'm sure THAT would go over well, lol). And I can definitely see how that would stop the narrative in its tracks, since everyone (except Willow and Faith) would be like, "WHAT?"
He just gave up his son. There is no way that he cares as much about is potential future with Buffy as he seemed to, at least not at that moment. I can't believe he'd have the mental energy. I can try to fanwank it as an emotional defensive mechanism, but that doesn't sit well with me at all, given that Angel is normally broody mcbroody face.
Word.
Yes, these shows were in the same verse
Honestly, at this point, I hesitate to say even that much. They started in the same verse, sure, but how can you possibly explain the sun being blacked out in Los Angeles and no one in Sunnydale noticing? How can Jasmine's thing be happening all over the world and not affect anyone in Sunnydale? Why would the First Evil resurface and have no interest in Angel, when the last time it showed up ("Amends") it was all about Angel? How can Hollywood (and by extension, the world) be gaga over Harmony and vampires when everyone in Los Angeles has the memories of spending months in Hell?
But that is a whole different rant, lol.
I think the Doctor Who/Torchwood crossovers -- both Jack on Doctor Who and Martha on Torchwood -- are decently respectful to the respective characters and their growth. At least they didn't make me go "WTF am I watching, and what happened to the character I knew?"
Hahaha, I have to admit, it cracks me up that you used this as your example, because when I started watching Torchwood, one of my first complaints was that Jack was completely different from when he was on Doctor Who. His second Who appearance did account for his Torchwood development, but that first season was a major WTF adjustment for me.
