I was very happy to learn how far the softcovers have gotten in the Fantastic Four series. I recently bought volume 7 and pre-ordered volume 8. I plan to pick up 1970s series like Black Panther in soft cover when my budget allows, assuming that Marvel includes those series in softcover format.

Where can I find a list of available softcover masterworks?
Use this list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Masterworks

Currently 38 volumes are out, however sometimes the softcovers switch up i.e. Hulk v2 and Avengers v4 are switched.  The rest of the year should go as follows:

April The Avengers: Vol. 4
May The Uncanny X-Men: Vol. 5
June Daredevil: Vol. 3
July The Fantastic Four: Vol. 8
August Golden Age Captain America: Vol. 1
September The Amazing Spider-Man: Vol. 7
October The Invincible Iron Man: Vol. 2
November Captain America: Vol. 2
December Golden Age Sub-Mariner: Vol. 1
