Not that I know anything about Buffy, but Joss was pretty heavily involved in that comic, wasn't he? If so I would probably consider the comic to be a canon extension of that show. I don't know whether I'd consider the Smallville comic to be canon. Heck, Chlollie withstanding, after how they treated Lex in seasons 8 - 10 I have a difficult enough time treating that as canon, never mind a comic book. So I'm kind of riding the fence on this one.
Joss was involved with both and he wrote the stories for a lot of them. With the exception of one storyline (Buffy's bisexual experience and mixed feelings for one of the new slayers), I really enjoyed it. Also, the Angel continuation and the later crossover too. There's one page that will stay in my memory forever. We're in Buffy's head and they open one door to see her in an Angel, Spike sandwich. Her reaction at seeing that unearthed was priceless and one for fan pandemonium.
I reserve judgement for Smallville's comic continuation but I do agree with you on what happened after Season 7.

Oh, I love me some crazy fan pandemonium. Someday when I have absolutely nothing else to do I'll have to look that up.
fwiw, I watched my first two Buffy episodes today. Gettin' tired of not knowing what all the fuss is about. S1E1 and S1E2 -- the effects are a little cheesey and SMG's still a little rough -- oh, and I could not stop giggling over how baby-faced David Boreanaz looks -- but I'm looking forward to marathoning the rest.
Oh so sorry this reply is so late. I don't often check Hotmail, which is where all my LJ alerts go to.
I actually recommend watching Angel over Buffy. David is so yummy, and later when Wes joins, sometimes I find myself forgetting about the dialogue and just staring at the eye-candy.
Buffy in general is very cheesy, but great entertainment. I think the addition of Spike in both shows was a great booster, but how could it not be? James Marsters is masterful with whatever they give him.
Heh -- I keep meaning to go back and watching me some of the new Hawaii 5-0 but I can't seem to get over the teensy little amount of screentime they gave James Marsters in the first ep. He was the whole damn reason I was watching!
On the other hand, there's always his Torchwood ep for me to lean on.
