"Shadow Puppets" is pretty cool, but it's also included in the IDW Spike Omnibus which, unless you're hellbent on getting a hardcover, gives you a lot more (mostly great) content for your money. In particular, it has Spike: Asylum, which I highly recommend.
I've read that "re-adaptation" (they used it as filler in one of the Angel Omnibuses), and it's just a shortened version of the episode with not-that-great unmoving pictures instead of live actors. So that's worth exactly nothing.
I can't say anything about "Mystery Date" except that it seems to be extracted from the Masks anthology. Maybe consider getting that one instead?
I don't know what exactly you're looking for or what you've read already, but the After the Fall series is actually pretty good. Or, if you're a Buffy fan too, the Tales or Fray are really awesome. They also lead up to (or, in the case of some of the Tales titles, are set during) Buffy season eight. Which, granted, isn't very good. But I hear it gets better in season nine.
>so should I start with the cannon ones or do I need to read the others?
Up to you. Canon is a difficult issue because IDW have the rights to the Angel franchise. These are comics that Joss did not write, but most of them were written by writers Joss has worked with in the past and asked to write comics for. Here is the official "canonical" order. And what I mean by this, is that it was approved by Joss. This is not the "complete" order.
>Also where can I purchase the comics and are the expensive (are they on tablets of any kind?).
Comics can be purchased in many different forms. You can buy them online from DarkHorse, buy them from Amazon in the form of Library editions or the paper-back versions. The difference between library and normal is that normal is a paperback and library is a hard-cover. Google/YouTube it to really see the difference.
Comics are fairly expensive. If you're looking for the cheap options, then buying them online in .pdf form is probably your answer.
>Lastly, do the comics begin where season 7 left off or do I need to watch Angel too?
Yes, you need to watch Angel. Buffy season 8 starts a couple of years after "chosen", it's difficult to say.
I may be watching too much Gilmore Girls right now, but I think Lorelai would have been able to run the inn a little bit more efficient if she had a day planner. I'm not sure if your hotel does events or not.
The item I would love this
It's not a big deal at all. Other than that single issue, you basically have the perfect haul of canon materials (other than the currently running Buffy season 9 and Angel & Faith of course). You even got the often overlooked Spike: The Complete Series. However, you are missing one book. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Tales, which I highly recommend. It doesn't focus much on Buffy herself (although there is one issue revolving around her, Xander and Dracula which was pretty great) but instead looks at slayers and vampires throughout history. Plus one of the stories was written by Amber Benson (Tara).
