😉Okay, Simone was "not bad" by comic book story writing standards, not the real world version ...
Both writers before her (*Not* counting AA in that) were popular novelists and a fair bit inferior to hers, and her run's on a similar quality level to Rucka's, and Rucka is also a best-selling novelist. Rucka's a good point of comparison, because he's really good at both novels and comics.
Comic book standards have gotten pretty high over the years, comparable to novel or TV standards (i.e. some great, some not-so-great).

Nah, during The Circle when a group of Hippolyta's ex-bodyguards tries to off her.
Also, no idea why AA didn't use purple rays instead of arrows.
Heck, one of the previews had them riding dragons and such rather than just using spears and arrows which, while enchanted, were not the Amazon's heavy weapons when they were doing stuff like fighting OMACs.

Think I've seen it mentioned that he actually has a different DC Pantheon back of him, the Roman version of the set, as opposed to Diana's own.
But I was thinking of him as a remarkable illustration of the Lasso's power, perhaps none more striking than the following:
I could be wrong, but wasn't that only the case until after WAR OF THE GODS and the separated Greek and Roman pantheons merged back?

Haven't the foggiest. Not a Captain Marvel or Shazam reader.
Also, never read War of the Gods, not the full story at any rate.
Remember searching for it before and discovering it had never been reprinted, at least at that point in time.
You might want to ask over at Comic Book Resources forums.
Some of the people there are amazingly knowledgeable.
P.S.
I'd appreciate knowing your opinion on the matches in the following thread and/or having some of your input there.
Agree with the response I was given? Disagree?
Thanks for your time.

I heard Darkseid was responsible for the pantheon splitting into the Greek and Roman counter-parts(to weaken their potential threat), and at the end of WAR OF THE GODS they merged back together. I have WAR OF THE GODS but haven't read it yet. Right now reading UP, UP AND AWAY, will read WOTG next and tell you when I finish.
And I'll check that tread later tonight.
