DC is soliciting a Justice League of America: The Bronze Age Omnibus Volume 4 for October. This collects issues published in 1980-1982 and features the work of Conway and other writers, plus a host of artists, including George Perez. In here is the Conway/Perez Apokolips saga, which I think first moves Darkseid from being sort of a siloed menace in New Gods related titles (if we don't count his earliest appearance in Jimmy Olsen) to more of a general DC villain. There's also the Secret Society of Super-Villains three-parter from #195-197 that I really dug as a kid (and it holds up today).
I've seen discussion of this on YouTube that suggests this takes things right up to the Detroit Era omnibus, but if that solicitations are accurate, that's not correct. Issues 207-232 (1982-1984) are left uncollected, some of which are more Conway stories, and Justice League of America Annual #1. I don't know if that's enough for a volume 5, but maybe they could find other stuff to stick in there. Hopefully, they don't plan to leave it uncollected.
