(If so, thanks. :) )
> Also what is the best way to go about getting a whole collection starting from the very first book in the series.
You have two basic options:
-1. Wait for the Trade Paperback.
A trade paperback is a collection of a series of single comic issues. They are printed in Volumes, which usually include between 4-7 issues of the series in order (ie; Volume 1 may include issues 1-5, Volume 2 issues 6-10, etc etc). Depending on the publisher, they will come out anywhere from a few weeks after the last issue included in the trade, to a year and a half later.
So, to use the Darth Vader comic as an example, HERE is Darth Vader Volume 1, which is issues 1-6 of the monthly release bound together. I think Volume 2 comes out soon, or might be out already as well. Since Volume 1 was Issues 1-6, I'm guessing Volume 2 is probably issues 7-12.
-2. buy "runs" of singles from Ebay, Midtowncomics, or your local shop.
You can generally find most runs of comics online either on ebay, on midtowncomics.com, or if the series is a bit older you might be able to find it at your local shop in the used bins. It looks like the Darth Vader comics are still going for around $3-$5 per issue, so the first 6 would cost you somewhere in the $18-$30 range if you went that route.
Finally, it's usually easier to find the last few issues of a comic at your local shop than it is to find issues from 4-12 months ago. In fact, I'd say, generally speaking, 4-12 months back is often the most difficult stuff to find IME at local shops. So, if you want to "catch up" on a series by starting at #1 (which, btw, often isn't at all necessary, just buy the new issue and start reading), you can sometimes get the trades that are out, and then supplement those with the issues that aren't in trade format yet. That way you've read the whole series and can then add it to your pull list.
> I was looking into getting the new Darth Vader comic, but i noticed its on its 15 book already and i cant seem to find the first one. What i did find though was a Darth vader 1 Annual.I was wondering what is the differnence?
Annuals come out once a year (annually), and depending on the series could be part of the current story arc in the month it came out, but more often are "one off" stories about the same character that aren't directly dependent on the main series story.
I don't know if these are the official dates, but the first TPB's for all current Star Wars comics are already available for preorder on Amazon.
The limited Princess Leia series (5 issues, I think) seems to be available September 15 as a TPB.
Star Wars Volume 1 also has September 15 as a release date for the TPB.
Darth Vader's first TPB looks to be available October 20.
The upcoming Kanan: The Last Padawan series seems to be available November 3 as a TPB.
Also, I've just noticed that if you click on one of these comics, under "customers who bought this item also bought" there are a bunch of Journey to The Force Awakens books available for preorder, I thought "Aftermath" was the only one.
If you're interested in Vader and the Sith:
Star Wars: Darth Vader Volume 1
Star Wars: Darth Vader Volume 2: Shadows and Secrets
Not strictly Darth Vader-related, but also worth reading:
Star Wars Volume 1: Skywalker Strikes
Star Wars Volume 2: Showdown on the Smuggler's Moon
Star Wars: Shattered Empire
All of these comics exist in the new Disney canon
Star Wars (Takes place between episodes 4 and 5)
Darth Vader (Takes place alongside the Star Wars comic)
Star Wars: Shattered Empire (Shows a glimpse of the post-episode 6 world)
Star Wars: Kanan (Between episodes 3 and 4)
Star Wars: Princess Leia (Immediately after episode 4)
Star Wars: Lando (Sometime pre-episode 5)
Marvel's Darth Vader comic series.
It's been awhile, but I think that this scene is from the end of Volume 1 (which I linked above).
Darth Vader Vol 1 (Collecting issues: Darth Vader 1-6)
Darth Vader Vol 2 (Collecting issues: Darth Vader 7-12)
There’s a few collected editions. Amazon link for Volume 1.
Hm. ok. I'm going to assume it's the new canon ones, like Darth Vader, Skywalker Strikes, Shattered Empire are just some of them. Leia's book is really good.
I highly suggest reading the following two at the same time:

The 6 issues im referencing are in the vader series that I linked first, however this is the suggested reading order: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline_of_canon_comics

That's the first collected volume. Here's more info on the comic including release dates and reading order (with Vader Down)...

Amazon has the TPBs now: https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Darth-Vader-Marvel/dp/0785192557/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1484096798&sr=1-1&keywords=vader+comic
I'm read up on all the collections so far - REALLY good stuff.
I definitely like Kylo more than Rey. I'm super HAPPY with the entire cast including Rey. But my heart has always been with the bad guys. I knew I was going to love Kylo the most the moment I saw him. In fact the moment I saw him I looked at my boyfriend and said "You're costuming that." like he didn't have an option, I'm making him a Kylo and he's going to be mine and that's that!
But I LOVE the point you brought up that this movie really makes you sympathize with the bad guys and I loved that. You feel for Finn who is freaked out by the power and cruelty of the first order and you actually feel for Kylo who is struggling between light and dark. Watching the promos and getting hyped, I never imagined I would feel for Kylo. I assumed I'd sit there and think he was amazing but I didn't think I'd connect with him, it was actually kind of nice! I'm circle jerking, I know, I can't help it.
Here's a list of shit you need to pick up:
The visual dictionary
The Art of Star Wars the Force Awakens
And you mentioned having a book with layouts of the death star and such so you may like Incredible Cross Sections.
And from what EVERYONE I know has been telling me, The Force Awakens novelization is a must read if you want juicy little details that weren't made crystal clear in the movie!
Also, if you are not reading the comics. STOP. RIGHT. NOW. AND. READ. THEM!!
In order of priority:
Darth Vader
Star Wars
Princess Leia
Shattered Empire
And read Kanan if you're a Rebels fan. I HAVE the comic I just haven't read that one yet!
But no seriously that Darth Vader comic. The stuff that happens. UGH. NERDGASM. After reading them and re-watching the movies in preparation for TFA I fell in love with the originals all over again. It was like that fresh awesome new love I had for them the first time! So good!

There are more after these two, but op's pages specifically are here
You can buy the trade paperbacks of the comics.
Ok got that, I have another question about the comics: Are these like little parts of a larger story, where you have to buy more comics or are those comics you recommend thick books with a lot of pages and a story themselves?
And do you mean this here:

Well, you've come to the right thread, friend! :D
What kinds of books/movies/TV do you normally tend to enjoy?
A brief scan of your reddit history seems to suggest you like Star Wars. There are a lot of new Star Wars comics out, many of which have gotten pretty good reviews. A new one starring a lesbian/bi woman, Doctor Aphra, just started. She was also featured in the latest Darth Vader comic (which I haven't read yet, but have heard good things from the people on this sub and in general!).
For another space fantasy type thing, I would also recommend checking out Saga, which is one of the most popular titles right now and features some LGBTQ characters in its supporting cast.

These should make a good start. You really can't go wrong with any of the new Marvel series though. They're all excellent.
You can get them direct from marvel, but you can't get back issues:
https://subscriptions.marvel.com
They're only a few bucks a pop this way, but if you would only enjoy them in super-mint condition, the mail version isn't for you.
You can also wait until the trade paperback is out (typically, a collection of 4, 6, 12, etc comics). Here's the first six issues of Marvel Darth Vader: https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Darth-Vader-Marvel/dp/0785192557/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1496943205&sr=8-1
Digital on Comixology
Physical Vol 1.
I also HIGHLY recommend reading Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison as it's one of my favorite (now non-canon/legends) Star Wars stories. It's written by Haden Blackman, who directed the video games The Force Unleashed 1 & 2. The art is absolutely beautiful and it's a must read for fans in my opinion.
Here you go
Amazon is really good. Instead of buying each issue individually, I buy the volumes. They bundle six issues into one book.
Here's a link to Darth Vader vol. 1 (contains issues #1-6)
They publish collections of the comics, and I buy those at a regular bookstore. I like being able to put these on a shelf, more like a book (and I don't need to track down individual issues, I can just buy the collections when they are published).
Darth Vader vol 1
Marvel just started a series called Darth Vader last year. Click Here
I think it's going to be 25 issues and then done; there is a collected crossover called Vader Down that is worth getting also.
I would recommend "Star Wars: Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith Vol. 1: Imperial Machine", "Star Wars Vol. 1: Skywalker Strikes", and "Star Wars: Darth Vader Vol. 1"
