I haven't read it yet, so my judgements aren't final or anything, but, here's my discrepancies thus far:
The Jedi being slaughtered again, like you said. Honestly, they just rebuilt themselves, and are supposed to be far better then their Old Republic counterparts. Killing them off again just seems... I don't know, useless, and I feel ultimatley hurts the SW universe more then anything. You can do more for a story with a bunch of Jedi then with a bunch opf dead Jedi.
Other then that, I only have one more big discrepancy, and it's a BIG one.
It counteracts the prophecy. Vader brought balance to the Force, destroyed the Sith. Other EU has sort of adhered to this and not siginficantly conflicted with Star Wars canon. The Dark Side still existed because it wasn't the Dark Side that caused imbalance, but rather the Sith who were a cancer in the Force. By destroying the Sith, balance was restored. That's why other EU used Dark Jedi, but not Sith.
By reviving the Sith, that's not only a bold faced thing to do, but is in complete, direct disagreement with Star Wars canon. The Sith are not supposed to come back, EVER, and yet: here they are.
Yeah, that is the huge thing that most fans are concerned about. I'm a little skeptical as well, but I'll wait to see how they handle it.
The writer said something along the lines of "don't worry right now, just wait and see how it turns out."
Chances are they'll have some sort of reason why the Sith are back and hopefully they will make it so that it doesn't contradict the prophecy... Personally, I have no idea how they could. I mean, the Sith are back, so that's going against the prophecy all by itself.
OTHER than that, I think the series will be pretty good. The first issue was decent. I'll keep reading.

Was the sith order in the KOTOR series not a fake?
Well Revan certainly had some unorthodox views (being almost gray)... but he was a Dark Lord not some fake as you seem to think.
Malak was your typical, "ARG KILL THEM ALL!" kind of Sith so I would say he is a Sith was well.
