Now that Uncanny X-Men Omnibus Vol. 5 has been announced alongside Marvel’s plans for UXM Vol. 6 and 7, it is clear that the Classic line and the Event line books are two different lines of books. The Classic Omnibus line won’t end here, as many of us thought it might. Instead, it will continue to collect exclusively the Uncanny X-Men material already collected in the event books as mapped by future Masterworks volumes.

"Review: Uncanny X-Men #500". Comic Book Resources. Archived from the original on May 22, 2014. The only people who Marvel would risk annoying in this situation are people who bought Masterworks Vol. 13 and then also the eventual UXM Vol. 6 omnibus, thinking the two would marry together. However, that’s a much, much smaller group of people than the thousands who have been buying the omnibus line through its many reprints for the past 16 years.)

It doesn’t hurt that X-Factor is a natural extension of the Uncanny X-Men material in the book – it explains where Cyclops departs to after #201.

It feels a little insulting that they have suddenly chosen to draw that line over 2 issues in the final book those of us who have been collecting ALL of their books for 16yrs need to fill the gap in our continuous UXM #1-300 collection.
