* TrappedInTVLand: Grant Morrison's AuthorAvatar from their run on ''Animal Man'' appears as a recruit of the Suicide Squad, bemoaning that they've become trapped within the DC Universe after the conclusion of their ''Animal Man'' run and that their AuthorPowers can't reliably protect them from danger this time now that their actions are under the control of a different writer. Sure enough, they end up getting killed by a Beastiamorph when they get writer's block at the worst possible time.

* GrandFinale: The crossover event serves as the finale to George Perez's run on ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'', having her soundly defeat Circe after she started the war between the various pantheons of gods. Issue 62 of the comic served as a dénouement of sorts by tying up the remaining loose ends and closing with a letter from Perez addressing how his tenure with the title has come to an end and wishing the best of luck to his successor William Messner-Loebs.

'''War of the Gods''' was a 1991 Creator/DCComics CrisisCrossover, which involved the gods of various pantheons getting into conflict with one another and served as a conclusion to Creator/GeorgePerez' run on ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987''.

The main parts of the story occurred in a four-issue miniseries sharing its title with the event and issues 58-61 of ''Wonder Woman'', with tie-in issues of other comics relevant to the storyline including ''Superman: The Man of Steel'' issue 3, ''Hawkworld'' issues 15 and 16, ''Starman'' volume 1 issue 38, ''L.E.G.I.O.N. '91'' issue 31, ''Hawk and Dove'' volume 3 issue 28, ''Captain Atom'' volume 2 issues 56 and 57, ''Doctor Fate'' volume 2 issues 32 and 33, ''The Flash'' volume 2 issue 55, ''Justice League Europe'' issue 31, ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' issue 470, ''ComicBook/AnimalMan'' issue 40, ''ComicBook/SuicideSquad'' issue 58, ''The Demon'' issue 17 and ''[[ComicBook/TeenTitans The New Titans]]'' issue 81.

Tropes:
* BigBad: Circe has orchestrated the conflict solely to ruin the Amazons' reputation and destroy Wonder Woman.
* DeathIsCheap: Circe kills Wonder Woman, but she is subsequently resurrected.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Among the casualties in the ''Suicide Squad'' tie-in is Creator/GrantMorrison's AuthorAvatar from their run on ''ComicBook/AnimalMan'', whose powers of controlling the story fail to protect them from certain death due to being under the control of a different writer this time.
* GrandFinale: The crossover event serves as the finale to George Perez's run on ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'', having her soundly defeat Circe after she started the war between the various pantheons of gods.
* ShoutOut: During a battle with the pantheon of Norse Mythology, Metamorpho is surprised to see Thor with red hair and comments that he thought he'd be blond, almost certainly a nod to [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor the thunder god's depiction]] from [[Creator/MarvelComics DC's biggest competitor]].
* ThereIsAGod: [[Characters/DCComicsLobo Lobo]] quips that there must be a God after all when he sees [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]] show up while he's itching for a fight.
