The issue with animation are a few things, one as you said it manpower. With more people having to work on it, you naturally lose vision with each extra person in the loop. But in addition to that, the extra workload and requirements for animation to look smooth impose limitations on what you can do or portray, because you absolutely require visual consistency.

Comics are superior because, one as you said it's an individual's vision as accurate as they can portray it. But it's also the perfect mix of sequential story telling with illustration, you're allowed to do wilder things and make beautiful illustrative works within the framework of a comic. It's a combination of everything good about animation with all the great things of illustration. And since you don't need consistency of animation, you're allowed to portray things in more symbolic or expressive ways that would look out of place in animation.
