Marvel Essentials/Marvel Masterworks

I have all the Spider-Man (Amazing title) volumes, eleven in all. In addition to that I have all five volumes of Spectacular Spider-Man. The Amazing title has the first 248 issues covered and I had hoped it would print volume twelve with the next chapter in the Hobgoblin saga (#249-#251) and the alien symbiote saga that followed it. How does Marvel Masterworks operate? I noticed it had reprinted again but in color material already covered in Essentials. I do not mind the black and white print at all, as it allows for twenty or more issues to be collected in a single volume and you do not miss a beat from issue to issue as it flows together. That being said, has or will Masterworks pick up where it left off or does it skip around? I like having everything in the same format,but I want to pick up after the Essential line left off after it seems to have quietly cancelled after all of these years. I am not really familiar with this line. I saw a collection starting with #252 Symbiote costume saga and another Return of The Sinister Six. What volumes exist beyond what was printed in the Essentials and those who have read in the Masterworks format, what are you thoughts on it? Any help clearing up how these are printed and how to collect beyond where the Essentials stopped is much appreciated. Thanks.
