Do you guys think we’ll EVER get a Invincible Iron Man by Fraction omni? Criminal it hasn’t been done yet for such a high profile character, too.

The title was revamped after issue #75. The entire cast, story, and creators changed. The “Fight Club” issues were not well received and the title was canceled. The next year, the characters and creative team returned with the Avengers/Thunderbolts mini series.
The title was relaunched as The New Thunderbolts a few months later.
This is a little frustrating for me. I have the Thunderbolts Classics and Hawkeye and the Thunderbolts trades. Those volumes only go up to issue 50 and it doesn't look like Marvel is ever going to finish the run off in that form. If I buy this omnibus I'll be left with a gap of about 13 issues.
Well then don't read the Free Comic Book Day issue that reveals the direction they are taking Ben aka Chasm next.
Sad mismanagement of a character.
I agree with other thoughts I've seen where Marvel seems to want a spoilers:end of spoilers.
Venom type character foil for Peter now that Venom is largely redeemed. It also is "best friend" adjacent in the way Harry as GG was
"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" - Optimus Prime
That is my #1 sought after omni. Perhaps next year for Tony's 60th anniversary...?
I'd also be down for an Ellis/Knaufs omni, with perhaps the Civil War mini included in the middle since it informs so much of Tony of that era, including Fraction's run. Hell, throw the Order mini in there too somewhere.

Yeah im not sure why Fraction's run doesnt get more love from Marvel especially. I would put it right there with Brubaker's Cap - its that good.
Plus its rare in modern comics to have the same writer/artist (Fraction/Larroca) on every single issue of it.
Im pretty sure it won multiple accolades/awards thru its tenure too.
Currently Reading:
Milligan's Shade the Changing Man, Vertigo Hellblazer trades, Love and Rockets TPBs, Stray Bullets TPBs, Ellis' The Wildstorm
For Iron Man I want second David Michelinie omnibus long over due.

As much as I would LOVE and omni of Fraction/Larroca's Iron Man along with a second volume of Michelinie/Layton's, there's no more Iron Man movies, so there's no incentive for them to do Iron Man omnis. Seems like that's what get omnis made; if the character has an upcoming movie or show they're more likely to get an omni - otherwise, they're usually put on the back-burner.
