Format:Paperback
This is a wicked comic.
It's pretty Twilight Zone in execution. Basically Wanda Maximoff alters reality and the X-Men and Avengers have to sort out the resulting mess.
The book opens strongly and continues in this fashion. Much care has been taken to ensure that reader understands that there is a lot at stake here.
My only gripes are that there are a lot of characters (having not been reading comics for as long as I'm gussing Marvel's target audience have) who I don't know or would like to have seen more of - such as She-Hulk. Also the panel layout is very epic. Single panels often strech across both pages and it is often unclear as to what I should be reading next. This happened a lot to me through out the reading. I was reading down when I should have been reading across.
That said there is some really lavish artwork, such as Wolverine's daring motorbike jump across a junction and the first formal introduction of the House of M itself.
A really cool comic. I'd be very sad if the Hulk and Spiderman books just show the characters in their alternate reality because I feel this story's strong enough to continue for a while on it's own.
I've ordered the Excalibur prelude from Amazon but it's taking it's time. I'd like to read that before I buy any of the later books. But I think I will get the next few since the first was so good.
This is definatly worth a read if you like this kind of thing.

Format:Hardcover
The House of M has gone down in Marvel history as a pivotal moment, and it deserves all the attention it gets. House of M is a brilliant graphic novel that I found impossible to put down when I first read it. This beautiful oversized hardcover is the perfect way to enjoy this captivating story again and again, and it looks fantastic on display on your bookshelf. From the opening scenes of Professor X greeting the X-Men at Avengers Tower, to the imortal words spoken by the Scarlet Witch at the end, this graphic novel stands up as one of the finest Marvel has produced.

Format:Hardcover
'House of M' takes off from the 'Avengers: Disassembled' series, so I'd recommend giving that a read beforehand or at least glancing over a summary. If you're looking for a lot of action then you might be slightly disappointed with this, as whilst it does have its fair share of fighting, it primarily focuses on how much the world has been messed up and how our heroes deal with that and are emotionally affected by it.
It's more suited towards the more experienced comic fan, as there are quite a few less-than-famous Marvel characters involved who I wasn't familiar with. The collection is drawn by the brilliant Olivier Coipel and as a result the art is fantastic. I'd certainly recommend this to anyone in the mood for a well-drawn, well-written major event set in the Marvel universe.
