Issue 2 of the Justice League Unlimited series does address the weird issue of the distinct Greek and Roman gods in a world where gods are real:

A Year In The JSA: 2007 (issues 5-6)
Aug. 10th, 2024 05:28 pmknight_movesThis is The Lightning Saga, a crossover with Brad Meltzer's Justice League that also involves the Legion of Superheroes. (Not the then-current reboot by Mark Waid, but rather the 'classic' version)
I found it... a bunch of sound and fury, signifying very little. There's a lot going on. Three separate superteams, time travel, amnesia, resurrection, sparring, random encounters, random encounters that are really illusions, and callbacks callbacks CALLBACKS!
But at the end of the day, it struck me as borderline incoherent, leaving me having a hard time being able to say what happened, what the characters were trying to accomplish, what was getting in their way, why they were trying to accomplish it in the way they went about it...
( Spoilers for almost twenty year old comics now. )

Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong #6
Apr. 1st, 2024 11:11 pmshakaloolooWhat's the one thing this DC/MonsterVerse crossover's been missing? Giant robots! So this penultimate issue gives us some!
Although now I find myself thinking - most blasphemously - that there may just be TOO MANY giant robots in this issue! I need a lie-down.

Wow, what a banner week for Giganta. Not only holding her own against Wonder Woman, but not giving a bad showing in Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong #5 either. Captain Cold behaves a little stupidly, though.

Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong #4
Jan. 23rd, 2024 05:46 pmshakaloolooIt's just meant to be a throwaway tie-in crossover with Toyman summoning interdimensional kaiju to attack the world...
Superman has been injured in battle with Godzilla. The two people that love him most in the world come to see him.
In a comic whose cover has Aquaman and a sea monster.

Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong #2
Dec. 3rd, 2023 06:57 pmshakaloolooSo, the last issue was less about the monster-fighting than it was Superman preparing for his proposal to Lois Lane. In this second issue Kong does not even appear, but we get an insight into the Bat-fmaily dynamics in this Elseworlds as they deal with a monstr attacking Gotham City. A giant, sonic-based bat, of course. What possible weak points could it have?

While Kong and the Big G have little more than a cameo in this first issue, there are six more issues so go, so lots of space for that monster action in the future.
Also! This issue has Giganta in the Legion of Doom! But needless violence against robots too, so mixed feelings there.

Between us, it’s been a sharp learning-curve, writing something so Ur-Heroic. Editorial good sense notwithstanding, it would’ve been easy to turn in a quintessentially Me splurge of deconstructivist weirdness and black-hearted sarcasm. I’ve resisted that urge. *cough* Okay, I’ve mostly resisted that urge. -- Si Spurrier

What I’m shooting for here is a shaken cocktail of all the boldness and moral sincerity of classic Justice League, with a few dollops of Deep Scifi exotica thrown in. -- Si Spurrier
