For April 2015:
-Uncanny X-Men Vol. 4: Vs. S.H.I.L.D. - This is a soft cover version of the previously released hard cover, no change in material. This has some of the newest stories by Brian Michael Bendis's run on the series. That is not a typo (or at least, not my typo); this is being solicited at $24.99, the exact same price as the hard cover.
-X-Men/Avengers: Onslaught Omnibus - This one of those big jumbo, over-sized books that collects a huge amount of material. Almost all of it has been reprinted previously in the 4-volume X-Men: The Complete Onslaught Epic series, although X-Men Annual '96 and X-Force #55 were left out of that set and gets included here. There's also some redundancy with the X-Men: Prelude to Onslaught soft cover; Uncanny X-Men #333, a couple issues of Cable and three issues of X-Man were all previously reprinted there, so that book and this omnibus aren't natural companions like it might seem at first glance. It's probably better to go with the 3-volume X-Men: The Road to Onslaught series of soft covers but you'll still lose a few issues from the Prelude to Onslaught book.

For July 2015:
-X-Men: Age of Apocalypse Vol. 1 - Alpha - This is supposed to be an improved printing with a fixed reading order but it weirdly leaves out one issue of Uncanny X-Men that is included in the earlier X-Men: Age of Apocalypse Prelude. So not really sure.

For October 2015:
-Uncanny X-Men Vol. 1 - This is an oversized hard cover compiling three previous collections. About halfway through it skips over about 3 issues that happen to be spread across 2 other collections (the X-Men-centric event Battle of the Atom and the larger event Inhumanity). So this makes the list slightly out of order in late 2013/early 2014.

For October 2015:
-Uncanny X-Men Omnibus Vol. 3 - This is a gigantic collection of about 3 years of X-Men comics from the early '80s immediately following the legendary Claremont/Byrne era. Claremont carried on with Dave Cockrum and Paul Smith, continuing the series' big success. This is basically two and a half of the Uncanny X-Men Marvel Masterworks (half of vol. 7 and all of 8 and 9). The only difference is they swapped out Marvel Treasury Edition #26-27 for the Magik mini-series. The Marvel Treasury Edition was a reprint series that often had new back-up stories. #26 had a back-up story teaming up Wolverine and Hercules, and #27 had a 5-page solo story starring the Angel. Aside from Brent Anderson art in the latter, not a terrible loss. The Magik mini-series co-starred Storm and was done by Claremont and John Buscema.
-Uncanny X-Men Vol. 5: Omega Mutant - A soft cover version of a previously released hard cover from Bendis' recently completed run. No other change, just a little cheaper.
