Don't when its coming out, but I highly recommend Son of M. It's a very entertaining read with fabulous art and a fantastically written plot.

Deadly Genesis is good, kind of a bit slow. Worth your time, though.

The 198 is interesting, and excellent if your interested in the post-HoM fallout.

Deadly Genesis is a must. It's good, solid, X-Men storytelling, and is going to be a key read in relation to Ed Brubaker's run on Uncanny X-Men.

The 198 is working out pretty well, although the art is a bit annoying. Lots of people with very pinched in features on over sized faces. (No, really. Take a look! :eek: )

I'm not really into Son of M. But I so expected to be. I expected a tale of Quicksilver, sans powers, trying to reintegrate himself into society. What we have is a Quicksilver with New Crazy Timetravel Powers, provided by terrigen mists from the realm of The Inhumans. I know that via marraige The Inhumans are integral to Quicksilver's backstory, but when the more quirky characters from the Marvel Universe interact with the X-Titles there is always an element of grating, and for me this is a little like fingernails on a blackboard for me.

It's not badly written, and from Hine I wouldn't expect it to be, but it's just not to my personal taste.

Anyway, back to point. I don't know when these will be released in tpb. But as none of these series have actually finished yet I wouldn't expect to see them until the summer.

Other than the HC for Deadly Genesis, none of the titles have even been solicited yet for TPBs. And a quick browse online reveals no listings yet for them. This seems consistant with Marvel's recent move to delay many TPB compilations extra time after series end, to try to boost sales of the monthlies. :)

i think the biggest problem with Son of M is that the issue on his time-travel powers was very confusing and hard to make sense of. everything else has been pretty interesting so far

Deadly Genesis and Son Of M are both very very good stories.

198, is merely ok.
