I think one complaint a lot of people have about season 8 is that it's taking almost 4 years to get through as much story as we used to get in 8 months with the TV series. It's very hard to keep an audience's interest keen for that long, especially following a seven-month break from the main storyline. I'd rather see the story take as long as it takes rather than trying to fit it into a set limit, but a lot of people don't have the patience. I think comic book readers are used to that. I once waited 5 years for a new issue of one comic series (No, seriously. 5 whole years). As for the Buffy comic readers that don't read comics in general, that is a problem.

I was actually talking about a Korean manga, but I didn't want to confuse any non-comic readers by calling it a manga, in case they didn't know what that was. But there have been times where I waited forever for American comics, too. Poop on comics like that, that take forever. Poop, I say!

Well, Fray was plagued by delays towards the end of its run, as was Joss' run on Astonishing X-Men (which incidentally had John Cassaday as the artist... he drew Planetary too). 5 years is extreme, though. Especially if we're talking about waiting for the release of the next book, and not the span of the story.
