The god of Death Thanatos refers to Diana as "Goddess of War". I always liked that part of her many origin reboots.

You have to give Priest some credit for this at least he remembers that Diana doesn't go down easy even when close to death.
"Excellent!" I cried. "Elementary," said he
Thanatos must still be under the Olympians' deception as it was clearly stated Diana never took Ares's place in Rucka's run.
What a horrible, horrible story.

Give it up to Diana to be fighting DC's Big Bad (Darkseid) and essentially Marvel's (Thanatos) in the same month. LOL.
I haven't read the issue up I'm going with Thanatos just using that title as a appellation rather than meaning she's the Goddess of War.
Not a big fan of this run, but I don't blame Priest if he's confused on her status. Her Rebirth run did a comically horrible job of clarifying things. No one knows what's what.

There's not a whole lot of ambiguity in being shown the real Ares, where he is and how he got there. Therefore he couldn't have died. It's pretty clear cut.
Their intentions at the time were pretty clear. This is an editor not telling Priest none of that matters anymore, same as the Titans editors not getting a clue that New 52 Donna didn't need to exist anymore, but for whatever reason DC seems incapable of cracking down on these New 52 references than shouldn't be in place anymore.
the issue itself was underwhelming but I'm interested in a Red lion/WW second round.
Fair enough. The Ares stuff does clear things up by process of elimination. If that's the real Ares whatever happened before was a "fake" one. So much makes no sense about her history I guess I fall into the trap of automatically assuming nothing does. But its just almost nothing.

I agree, just read the last few issues and that was awful. It's like he didn't get the memos on anything Wonder related. The clay origin teaser was bad, but Diana's "By the gods I swear vengeance!" shtick was worse. She looked like an idiot when everyone stopped pretending. At least he got her compassion, resilience and tenacity right, if not her powers or background.
Ya'll know that "Thanatos" is Batman in that scene, right? Diana's having an introspective moment brought about by her near-death.
