Not sure which issue, but I read it in Marvel's Star Wars Vol. 1 Luke encounters Vader, Luke has no idea what he's doing and Vader mocks him. They both have no idea who the other is.

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)
Yeah, so companies will periodically put out a printed edition of a comic series that includes several individual issues. This is usually called a trade paperback (TPB). That print version is available in comic shops or other bookstores but are also available on Amazon. Earlier collections are often available at libraries too.
These same collections are usually available in digital form, and usually cheaper that way (especially when on sale) so it's just a question of whether you prefer a physical copy of a comic series to own on your bookshelf or a digital version you can read anywhere.
As an example, here's the paperback version of Volume 1 of the main Star Wars series, which collects issues 1-6. Buying it this way is much cheaper than buying all the individual issues - you just have to wait a few months longer for the collections to be released.
Does that answer your question?
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:
https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Darth-Vader-Marvel/dp/0785192557/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481959668&sr=8-1&keywords=vader

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

I'm like you, I'm not much into comic books, I only read them because it's Star Wars. You'll get the hang of how things work. Anyway, both comics follow the same general storyline, I highly recommend reading them in order. It goes SW 1, SW 2, SW 3, DV 1, SW 4, DV 2, DV 3, DV 4, SW 5, DV 5, SW 6, DV 6. The numbers correspond to the issue number, you can find it at the beginning of the comic.
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!

These should make a good start. You really can't go wrong with any of the new Marvel series though. They're all excellent.
Perhaps someone in the UK would be able to give better options; but aside from Amazon, Forbidden Planet and Mega City Comics seem to sell them.
Just an FYI, TP stands for Trade Paperback which will be a collection of a few issues. For instance, the Star Wars TP 01 has issues #1-6 of Star Wars.
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"
