Faith wanting to give up her power? Well, it's in keeping with her Season 8 story, I guess. Plus it explicitly contradicts #24, which I suppose makes it good by lack of association.

How does it contradicts with #24? Mind you I don't remember much of that issue, but it seems that Faith is getting more weary with slayerdom, she seems like she wants to quit by the end of #9. Her line in #26 "No, I'm done with this." can be taken as a foreshadow.
