The Martians then decide to postpone their invasion for 200 years, when conditions will be more favorable (and when H.G. Wells' story takes place).

Isn't that a variation on "And I woke up, and it had all been a dream"?

Up for pre-order with a May 19, 2015 release date.
It will be the same release style as the Nilson book and 47 Ronin... an unlimited hardcover essentially. So you don't have to worry about missing out.
Caught up now my comic shop sent me my latest pile of pulls... wow, some drama towards the end of episode 3 there. Just glad this isn't technically canon, otherwise people WOULD be more angry and sad
With a breeze comes a storm, but then you'll all be washed away...
Stan wrote on Facebook today: "I do not sell story pages, but I do sell covers--both b/w and painted--as well as endpapers, pin-up, etc. There will be a sale of my first 3 covers for Senso and the watercolor cover to UY Book 28 in a week or so."
So for those of you who can afford an original Stan Sakai, stay tuned!

It's not so much that I'm worried about missing out on a collected edition of Senso, more that I don't really want to double dip if it is going to be incorporated in the Saga edition when they catch up to the current releases.
My question is more whether or not Senso is a stand alone story that would not be collected in Saga.
Even if the breath between us smells of alcohol,
Call it confusion in the best way possible.

There are no present plans to add Senso into the UY Saga series.
Yeah, so far, Senso has been sensational. Lots of action and intrigue mixed in with some terrific drama. I like the playful nagging relationship between Jotaro and Gen, which made #3 all the more heartfelt. I was sitting in stunned silence over those scenes.
I have to ask though, any chance of Space Usagi running into the Martians someday? I think there might be an interesting legacy aspect to this story (of course, depending on how it ends) but I think it'd be interesting if there were legends of the Martian invasion that survived to SU's time.
