I have almost all the X-Men Milestones TPBs - only exception is Mutant Massacre (I have the Omni)
I have the Massacre OHC and will be buying the Prologue omni. After that, with the Claremont/Lee omnis, I'm caught up all the way up to Bishop's arrival, and that's an era I don't care for really until Fatal Attractions. After that most of UXM and X-Men are pretty well covered by (albeit OOP) OHCs and thick trades all the way up to Brubaker basically. The next X-men omnis I'd actually be interested in are Brubaker/Fraction and Carey's Legacy. I have a feeling the 60th anniversary in 2023 may bring about some of these, along with hopefully an X-Factor Investigations v2.
^ ^ ^
PAD's X-Factor v. 2 was already announced I believe...?
Maybe? That would be extremely unlikely — Marvel traditionally doesn’t reprint OHCs, and I especially can’t imagine them doing so less than a year after releasing it as an omnibus — but I could be wrong.
I would guess it’s more likely they’re reprinting it as a TPB.

Looks like some of the Marvel omnis are getting pushed back. I was going to get Captain America Lives (3rd Cap Brubaker omnibus) and Fantastic Four by Hickman vol 1, but they're not available on IST today. I looked on Amazon, and they have an updated release date of late January.
I'd imagine this is going to happen with a lot of books in the coming months.
