    Default Recommended Arcs?

    So...I've been looking into older (read: Post-Crisis on Infinite Earth) Wonder Woman comics. More specifically, I've been buying digital issues on Comixology. So far, I got...
    -Issues #1-24, from the Perez run. I'd have kept going, but there's a big gap afterwards on Comixology, so the next I got was...
    -Issues #72-75, picking up after Diana apparently returns from some space adventure or something.
    -Issues #77-80, since #76 got skipped for reasons unknown to me.
    -Issues #82-85, due to another skip, which apparently glossed over a fairly significant event for some reason.
    Loved the Perez run. The later issues are still fun, albeit a bit, er, nineties. So I'm wondering...are there specific arcs and stories people would recommend?

    I recommend the current Wonder Woman comics since there is a lot of discussion of it on the forums. I also recommend the early Marston comics because they are very interesting stories and the comics have some nice art and frequent scenes of Wonder Woman and the Amazons getting tied up.

    I...can't really say the bondage thing appeals to me. I guess I'm more interested in Diana the way I'm interested in Clark Kent or Steve Rogers - as a moral pillar who can inspire those around her.

    Greg Rucka's run (#195-226); the current run.
    I think some few issues just before Crisis on Infinite Earths seems to be good, too. I never read them.
    Wonder Woman loves you too.

    Apparently there isn't much on ComiXology pre-crisis (and post 60's). I know Rucka's run DEFINITELY is on there. As well as Simone's. I'm waiting for them to load WW 200-250 on there. Right now I have 230 from Comixology (with the Cheetah) but I want more from that era. I'm afraid for my wallet once they do.

    The current run is really great.

    I just finished reading Rucka's WW run today and was def impressed. Actually it was a perfect bookend to what Perez had started in the 80's. I loved the graphic novel, Hiketia, which Rucka also wrote.

    The Twelve Labors, v. 1 212-222, have been collected by DC in a phonebook. This is Pre-Crisis stuff that is surrealistic and inventive, from just after the time Wonder Woman was repowered after the mod I Ching era.

    I'm also fond of the Space Pyrates arc, v.2 #66-71. Messner-Loebs does a great job of updating the Marston approach here.

    Then you should read the Marston issues. This was the period in which she was her most inspirational. Try All-Star #8 and Sensation #1, which are free on Comixology. People make a lot about the bondage stuff but it's not like she was a dominatrix or anything. You'd have to be a bondage freak to get the bondage vibe from those stories. Like a shoe catalogue for a foot fetishist. The rest of us just see a catalogue.

    As for the rest of Post-Crisis, I'd also suggest the Rucka run, which unfortunately skips over the first arc in digital, as well as the current run. Byrne is also available but his run was pretty subpar. And if you really want some 90s stories you should definitely finish out the Messner-Loebs run, which gets uber-90s at #90, with Deodato as the regular penciller.

    I understand that Diana has some cameos in Action Comics. Can anyone please tell me which issues she's in? I'd really appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

    Since you're almost there, I'd finish up Messner-Loebs run first (not just because it's a personal favorite ) and go from there.

    I don't have my books handy (I post at work), but off the top of my head: she's in the current H'el on Earth story running through the Super books (except Action), was in the issue in which Niel DeGrasse Tyson found Krypton, the issue in which Superman is trying to give away a criminals pets to a good home (early issue) and an alternate universe Wonder Woman is in the President Superman issue.
