I didn't notice the background, I shall have to re-read! (After I get it back from my roommates, both of whom I've pimped this to: "It's Buffy. By Joss. No network censors, no 22 episode constraints, unlimited FX budget.")
AtS is fun. It's a little uneven the first season, but there were points I liked it better than the Buffy airing at the same time. Wesley gets extremely morally dubious (and also really, really hot) in later seasons. If for no other reason, you need to catch up so you can experience the puppet episode. Angel is a muppet, and my glee cannot be textually rendered.
The Xander thing has been well-addressed. I hope if they take that road they don't do something lame.
You might try http://www.milehighcomics.com/istore/ for comics? I have not used them (I am lucky enough to have an excellent comic shop in town). I have never tried them, but I've heard good things. My guess is, this series will end up as a trade...but you'll have to wait awhile for that to happen.
