My wallet is already crying.
Definitely:
[B]KING IN BLACK #1 (OF 5)[/B]
[B]KING IN BLACK #2 (OF 5)[/B]
[B]VENOM #31[/B]
[B]SYMBIOTE SPIDER-MAN: KING IN BLACK #2 (OF 5)[/B]
[B]KING IN BLACK HANDBOOK #1[/B] - I SEE MY BOY FLASH ON THAT COVER! Seriously, he has to come back by the end of King in Black. He has to...
[B]ETERNALS #2[/B] - Gets an arc.
[B]CABLE #7[/B]
[B]HELLIONS #7[/B] - This cover is hilarious xD
[B]X-FACTOR #5[/B]
[B]NEW MUTANTS #14[/B] - Man, it sucks that Brisson left the series. His run was great and just a good classic take on the X-Men while still incorporating the new status quo. It was easily the most consistent run the X-titles had during Dawn of X. Also, it gave us amazing Boom-Boom moments. Not sure if I'll stick with the title, especially with Honey Badger joining the cast, but... I mean... they still have Magik and I like Thunderbird. But still... eeeehhhhh. Also, ugh, Rahne is sticking around. Also also, not really familiar with Vita Ayala's work.
[B]X-MEN #16[/B] - Cyclops isn't saying anything, but that pose says "come and get it, Logan... also, Jean, you too honey if you want I guess"
[B]CHRIS CLAREMONT ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL #1[/B] - You know what? Even if Claremont's modern stuff is bleh and some of his older stuff hasn't aged well, the man deserves this, so yeah, I'll get it.
[B]THOR #10[/B] - The idea of a villainous Donald Blake has potential, so I'm definitely intrigued.
[B]THUNDERBOLTS OMNIBUS VOL. 1 HC BAGLEY ANNUAL COVER (DM ONLY)[/B] - Fuck yeah! I regretted putting off getting those trades over the years, so I'm excited for this!
[B]ETERNALS BY GAIMAN & ROMITA JR. HC[/B]
[B]BLACK PANTHER EPIC COLLECTION: PANTHER’S PREY TPB[/B]
Maybe:
[B]BLACK CAT #1[/B] - I don't know how hard I'm going with King in Black yet. Not sure how much tie-ins I'm going to get, e.g. tie-in minis only, Spidey books as well, or just everything. Also, I thought Marvel were over pointless relaunches? Like... the writer's still the same, guys.
[B]KING IN BLACK: IMMORTAL HULK #1[/B]
[B]ATLANTIS ATTACKS #5 (Of 5)[/B] - Really? Just... issue 5 of a mini as a tie-in?
[B]KING IN BLACK: NAMOR #1 (OF 5)[/B]
[B]THE UNION #1 (Of 5)[/B]
[B]SPIDER-WOMAN #7[/B]
[B]POWER PACK #2 (OF 5)[/B]
[B]SHANG-CHI #4 (OF 5)[/B]
[B]KING-SIZE CONAN#1[/B] - That team of creators is a bit weird to me. No Jason Aaron or Jim Zub? At least Busiek is there for the modern representation, I guess.
[B]X OF SWORDS HC BROOKS COVER (DM ONLY)[/B] - Crap... I want to eventually own Hickman's run in omnibus form, but I doubt this event will be included in it. Crap... crap crap crap.
[B]ETERNALS: COSMIC ORIGINS TPB[/B] - I'm usually not a big fan of Nauck's art, but I dig this cover. Might just be the colours. Also, I might start reading Eternals stuff, just because the Gillen run might be the kick I need to really get into it all, along with the previous Gaiman run. Maybe Marvel will do good stuff with them, who knows?
[B]ETERNALS: THE DREAMING CELESTIAL SAGA TPB[/B]
[B]ETERNALS: TO DEFY THE APOCALYPSE TPB[/B]
[B]BLACK CAT VOL. 3: ALL DRESSED UP TPB[/B] - Oh wow, Campbell showing some restraint on cover work! And it comes out better for it!
[B]INCREDIBLE HULK EPIC COLLECTION: WHO WILL JUDGE THE HULK? TPB[/B] - Thank you, Al Ewing and Peter David. Now I need to get all the trades of old Hulk stuff because you two hooked me so hard.
[B]SCARLET WITCH BY JAMES ROBINSON: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION TPB[/B]

Random thoughts:
So... [I]Namor [/I]isn't really a King in Black thing, is it? Like... solicitation doesn't make it seem like one at all.
I get that AoA Kitty is phasing through the floor, but that does NOT look good on a plain white background.
That ASM #54 cover... did Peter's cartridges bust? Why are some webs just spewing at his face.... but not in the reflection?
... was there anyone demanding Vengeance come back? Like, at all?
I still find the BC (really, had to change it to BCE? I don't think anyone cared) Phoenix weird, but I kinda dig her being ostracised for being a redhead. I guess that makes her a pseudo-mutant for her time, so that's kinda neat.
God, that FF one-shot... it's what Fant4stic wanted to be. I'm not interested, like, at all, but I can kinda appreciate that.
That Vader cover is unsettling af...
I didn't know Bounty Hunters was an ongoing! I thought it was meant to be like 5 or 6 issues! I might've read it if I knew otherwise!
Defenders Omnibus is a huh. I mean... sure, why not, I guess? Unless this is an MCU build-up thing?
Omg, that George Perez hardcover! I love the balloons lampshading his floating heads thing!

That Defenders Omnibus maybe has to do with the new Iron Man comic? Hellcat's a regular co-star in it.

It is odd. I don't think Cates has used or even mentioned Namor or Atlantis prior to this, has he? But apparently there's an ancient Atlantean connection. Not sure if that's actually going to play a part in this event, but the mini-series is supposed to explain the connection, which apparently was discovered back when Namor was a teenager? I'm assuming that that the end of Atlantis Attacks has something that triggers Namor's memory or prompts the long delayed fall out from the period mini-series.

Hellcat didn't join the Defenders until #44, which doesn't appear in this omnibus.
A Defenders Omnibus is long overdue. They have quite a few Marvel Masterworks completed, so the material is ready to go. Though, I would be thrilled if it meant Marvel or the MCU was going to do something with the non-team.
