Crazy how that Iron Man run seems to get no love. Larocca did the full run on art too. That is rare to have one art team for the full run in modern comics.
I would put it right next to Brubaker's Cap in quality level - and that run gets reprinted all the time.
The first 2 oversized HCs of Fraction/Larocca's Iron Man are still relatively easy to find. The rest of the run was only released in standard sized HCs/TPBs - and those HCs seem to be pretty scarce.

In Omar’s January preview he announced Ultimate Invasion Treasury edition was coming in March. In the February preview he shows Ultimate Invasion tpb is coming in March. I guess the Treasury edition got delayed or cancelled?

So they are again repackaging a prior OHC as an OMNI. Does this contain any new material?
I might get the second one if it makes it to deep discount land.

No, Prelude to Mutant Massacre has the same contents as Uncanny X-Men Vol 5, plus the early X-Factor stuff.
The problem is that this wasn't announced until Uncanny X-Men Volume 5 had already been released. People who bought UXM 5 might have waited for this volume if they knew it was coming.
