Posted this in other forum, But I thought it would be funny to put it here as well, since it seems DC may start editing the Bronze Age sooner than later
WONDER WOMAN BRONZE AGE VOL 1
Attachment 137074
Wonder Woman numbers 204-232, DC Comics Presents 9, the Brave and the bold 131
This would include several hits, like Nubia's first appereance with Kanigher's return, the Twelve labors arc, and the Martin Pasko run. To make it more marketeable, it should have Nubia's first appereance as the main cover. Or perhaps the cover for 213, as it features the most famous arc from the Bronze Age, the twelve Labours.
WONDER WOMAN BRONZE AGE VOL 2

Wonder Woman numbers 233-258, + All-New Collectors' Edition Vol 1 C-54, DC comics presents 32, World's Finest 251, 252, the Brave and the bold 131, 140, DC Spetial 9, Adventure comics 461,
It's gery Conway time, baby! Here enter the first non-Wonder Woman comic that I know about, which was published during the same time that Conway started his run on Wondy taking her to WWII (bronze age wonder woman was nuts) I had my doubts, but it seems most likely to leave it in 26 numbers for this omnibus, so that it stops before Conway's second run. the easiest cover is either this one, or the one from number 237, as its ominous enough.
(NOTE: if DC wants to cut material from somewhere, it seems easy to just leave this omnibus with the Gerry Conway stuff, leaving it at 242, or leave it at Pasko's run at 254, so that the Levitz numbers are added in vol 3, while it would end at some where between 286 or 287. Any cut on this omnibuses should consider that a lot of this stuff was done by Jack harris, so it would make the most sense to consider it all a definite pack that souldn't be separated)
WONDER WOMAN BRONZE AGE VOL 3

Wonder Woman numbers 259-295, DC Comics Presents 41, DC Retroactive: Wonder Woman – The '80s, brave and the bold 158
The second Conway run plus some actually interesting stuff, like a crossover with Teen titans written by Wolfman, plus Roy Thomas brief tenure and the first oficial credits for women in the title. It can be entirely possible to put so many numbers in a same omnibus because here we start having back-ups starring Huntress that could leave the main series on a 18-23 pages basis. The Huntress numbers should be published totally apart, making this compresion more possible, alltho I dont know about the Donna troy features. For the cover, it's easier to think it will be number 269, they should avoid taking one with the Huntress back-up anounced
Also, ive put the Retroactive spetial here since it needs more content (whis would be an omnibus of very possibly less than 800 pages) but if they make this series in 5 omnibuses, the spetial could be placed somewhere else with Conway in it, even in the latest one.
WONDER WOMAN BRONZE AGE VOL 4
Wonder Woman numbers 296-329, DC Comics Presents 76
Sadly, it's not possible to put all the Gene Colan material in a same omnibus, as it's already compromising to put son many numbers in the same omnibus. but it's really fair to at least expect the latest two years of Earth 1 Wonder Woman to be put together on the same omnibus, plus perhaps some pages from CoIE. For the cover, what else but the one from the latest number itself, 329, by JLGL? It's really very iconic (cbr doesnt leave me to put more than 3 images, but you know of what Im talking about)
(NOTE: second cut is harder, but DC could technically cut vol 3-4 at number 295, end of Roy Thomas run, so they can milk out a new tome. But me, personally, I prefer this composition of 4 omnibuses of 800-ish pages more than 5 with 600-ish pages. Other cuts get weirder, as they would require to mutilate Dan Mishkin's long run)
Volumes 3 and 4 leave me doubtful, as in theory there's too much stuff for just 2 omnibuses, but there really isn't enough for a third one. At most, there must be 1400 pages, see the problem? If they want they could cut material from the first 3 omnibuses to leave them on 600-ish pages so the maths apply, one can only guess at this point. I think I've put all relevant Wonder Woman stories from the time (mostly the ones with the same contemporary creative times) but I may be leaving something outside? If anyone knows, point it out to me.
