Does anyone know if IDW is going to collect all the Angel Spotlights (Illyria, Gunn, Wesley, Doyle, etc...) into one trade paperback/graphic novel? I've tried contacting them to ask, but they never seem to respond to my emails.
Thanks!

Yes they are.
I loved everything about Spike and Dracula 3 except for all the German.

A fan (Pixelboy) on IDWs' forum translated it:
(KINDA SPOILERS for SPIKE VS. DRACULA 3)
Soldier: Achtung! (You there!) Spike: Oooh, that's never good. Soldier: Wer sind sie? (Who are you?) Spike: Uhm... Guten ... Ah... Abend? (Good... Um... Evening?) Soldier: Ich sagte wer sind sie?! (I said who are you?!) Spike: Ja. (Yes.) Soldier: Ja? (Yes?) Spike: Oh ja. Ja ja ja. (Oh yes. Yes yes yes.) Soldier: Sie sind nicht von dieser nachbarschaft. Ich habe sie nicht vorher gesehen! (You're not from around here. I've never seen you before!) Spike: Uhm... Deutchland uber alles? (Uhm... Germany for all?) Soldier: Zeigen sie mir ihre papiere! Schnell! (Show me your papers! Immediately!) Spike: Heil! *Pbbfft* Heil! *Pbbfft* Right in der fuehrer's face! (...no translation needed here...) Soldier: Anschlag! Stoppen sie den betrieb! Sie konnen nicht entgehen! (Stop! Stop right there! You cannot escape!) Soldier: Anschlag oder ich schiebe! ... Oh! Mein Gott! Was sind sie? ... Nein! Nein! Eeeyaaarghh! (Stop or I'll shoot! ... Oh! My God! What are you? ... No! No! Eeeyaarghh!) Spike: Are we not the supermen? Ja, we ist der supermen, super-duper supermen. (Yes, we are the supermen, super-duper supermen.)
Does that help?

The Gunn comic was okay but I think it's the weakest one of the spotlights. I got the Wesley one and I think it did a good job with his character. I'm not entirely sure about how Spike is written though.
The new Spike comic does look promising.

I'm not entirely sure about how Spike is written though. The new Spike comic does look promising. I thought how Spike acted in the comic was actually very much in line with his characterization from early Season 5, with the large exception that he and Wesley never seemed to interact that much. Still, this spotlight proved why any of these comics can't be considered canon. SEMI-SPOILERS FOLLOW.... If the events of this issue really happened, then Wesley would have been much more heartbroken and angry over the events that caused Fred's death. He definitely would have blamed himself, knowing that if he'd let Knox die, then there's no way Knox could have served as Illyria's Qua-Hazan and had Illyria infect Fred. Even if someone else stepped in as Illyria's Qua-Hazan, its unlikely that person would've chosen Fred as Illyria's shell. SEMI-SPOILER OVER To be fair, this is the first of these stories that's brought up any issue like this. The rest of the spotlights haven't done anything to affect continuity of Season 5 IMHO, and the other Angel series occured after S5 (the Spike one-shots are debatable, but I think of them as "lost episodes").

SPOILERS
I wasn’t sure about how Spike was acting until I read the part where him and Wesley are talking about love. (This is where Wesley asks what Spike knows about love, but given that he was a watcher and most likely knew about Spike I found that line weird.) Spike tells Wes how he gave up everything for love and how much it hurts. I think that since he was a ghost as well that he was feeling bitter and wanted someone else in the same situation he was in to make out better than he did.
I can see this being canon because Wes did go a little crazy after Fred died and was fine with killing Knox. I did find it very ironic about how Knox got in that situation though (having both Gunn and Fred be involved in it.)
END SPOILERS
Does anyone know when the Doyle comic comes out? At IDWs’ forum they said that the Spike vs. Dracula 4 comes out July 18th.

Well the comic shop I go to has listed it out some time in July.
Which I can't wait for. I think seeing how the do Doyle will be fun. I just hope he is in character and they can write him well.
