They generally do multi-month story arcs, with about an episode's worth of content in each arc. I liked it at first, but it definitely dragged towards the middle.
Don't worry, we're sure to spot Faith first. She's like this cleavagy slut-bomb walking around 'Ooh, check me out, I'm wicked-cool, I'm five-by-five.'

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

It's not a collection of monster-of-the-week storylines. It follows the ramifications of the finale, and most stories are told over multiple issues. There are some good one-shots, too.

And I've never read it, so ignore all my remarks as being snarky.

I'll give it a try, purely because I can't perceive a future without new Buffy.

I followed through most of the Season 8 series, and afterwards thought I probably should have left well enough alone with "Chosen" as the final chapter in Buffy's saga.

I stopped reading the comic after the issue where Buffy and Angel have sex and ascend to heaven. At least, I think that's what happened. I may have rolled my eyes so hard that the memory of what happened in the comic became a little hazy.

Actually, after the catastrophe that Jilli talked about, the series got better. There were still some "err, really?" moments, but I've followed along until the current break (there may be a season 10). The future slayer Fray and Brian K. Vaughn Faith/Giles episodes were definitely worth checking out. And if you've never read the original Fray series, that's definitely worth checking out.
Have you also watched Angel? The series after the show ended had some interesting stuff even though the artwork was terrible. I thought the following Angel & Faith series was pretty good, though.

I haven't seen Angel, but I did check out Fray awhile ago. Haven't finished it, but I thought it was pretty cool. I like how it didn't just rehash Buffy, but I kind of missed the old group dynamic.
