I have read most of the Buffyverse comics that are out there. Although, I do not own my own copies of any. I am hoping to buy all the Buffyverse comics in trade paperbacks, and have *attempted* to find the TPBs for all the comics on websites such as Amazon.com and TFAW.
I've managed to find most of the easy ones but I'm having trouble finding a few one-off comics or series.
Most of the comics have been included in the Omnibuses, but those that aren't that I have already found are the Tales of Vampires/Slayers, Fray, Willow & Tara, Old Friends, Auld Lang Syne, Spotlight, The Curse, Spike Asylum, Spike Vs Dracula, Shadow Puppets, and of course Angel ATF and Buffy Season 8.
Any information of TPBs containing the following comics which I couldn't find anywhere would be appreciated. =) - Angel 1/2 - Chaos Bleeds Prequel - Giles - Jonathan - Lost and Found - Reunion - Angel: Masks
Also, does anyone know what will be included in the Angel Omnibus(es)?

ANGEL: Lost and Found is pretty good, set during Angel season 5. It 's basically about a vampire that has been going around LA killing people in the day light and they set out to stop him then learn that he has another ring of Amarah and the story is abotu Angel and Spike going out to stop him and when they do what vampire gets the ring.....SPOILERS.... spike moves forward as if he is going to out the ring on but he destroys it, they go back to Wolfram and Hart and find out that Harmony had sold the vampire the Amarah rind on E-bay by mistake as she thought it was just a normal ring. Not read it in a while so some of the deatil might be a bit shakye but thats the jist of the book. Apart from the...the Angel Omnibus is basically all the comics that you ahve list as you've already read. Spotlight, Old Friends, The Curse.....

There will be no Angel Omnibus from Dark Horse so as of now you are SOL on some of their Angel stories. I don't know if "Masks" will be included in the IDW omnibus or not, but it was the "Annual" last year. "Lost and Found" is available in the "Spike" TPB from IDW which also has "Old Times" and "Old Wounds". The Buffy one-shots will appear in the Buffy Omnibuses (not sure if Chaos Bleeds will be in there).

Where did you find Willow & Tara?! Gah, I've been looking everywhere! I found a Trade paperback on Amazon.com that collects all of them in one. Click!From site: " Buffy the Vampire Slayer's own Amber Tara" Benson takes up scripting duties on these collected stories of everyone's favorite Wiccan couple with the help of writer Christopher Golden (Angel, Buffy TVS: The Watcher's Guide, BPRD). This volume will collect the Willow and Tara one-shot "WannaBlessedBe" drawn by Terry Moore, the two-part Willow and Tara: "Wilderness" story and Andi Watson's two- part Willow and Tara comic strip featured in Dark Horse Extra!""

I assumed there wasn't going to be an Omnibus for the Dark Horse Angel series, I may just have to buy them in the smaller collections or something. Yep, I have the Spike TPB on my list already. And it's good to know that the one-shots from Buffy will be included in the Buffy Omnibus. I will probably buy a comic on its own if its not included in any TPB. (i.e. Angel Masks)

Creature of habit isn't technically a comic, it's a book with a few wonderful drawings, so it will probably not be in a tradeback, since it's already so thick.

They don't all follow the one storyline, they are mostly stand-alones, although I *think* there are some that go for longer than one issue. I myself haven't read much of the original annuals so I don't know which ones are good or not. But there are ones that have been released in the Omnibuses that I have read and I enjoyed.

I personally enjoyed the Spike/Dru related books: Spike and Dru: Pretty Maids all in a Row and Blackout. EXCELLENT stories.

The omnibus series is arranged in order of Season. #2 has the great "Ring of Fire" by Doug Petrie which is, IMO, one of the best Buffy comics from the original series. "Bad Blood" was their first attempt at a "Season" in comics-that is also pretty good, and appears in Omnibus #4. One of the most acclaimed stories is "Haunted" which is by Jane Espenson and is one of the few comics that features Faith. I haven't read that story yet, so I am excited for Omnibus #5.

Haunted is pretty good.
Omnibus 6 and 7 are going to be my favorites. I love those stories.

What's in Omnibus 6 & 7?
