Red Sonja #18
The war of wizards and gods comes to a close in Red Sonja #18 as Sonja rejoins the fight and eventually comes face-to-face with Kulan Garth. Her first attempt to kill the wizard doesn't take, but she is able to eventually put him down to the delight of the shadow powers he had forced under his control. Those powers give Red Sonja leave to return home with the cost that no one remembers her actions or heroism in the war, which, for the She-Devil with a Sword is no price at all.
With its conclusion, looking back at the story I don't know that it needed to be stretched out this long with the ending still feeling a bit rushed. Returning to the world, it appears Sonja has been erased from the minds of all who fought allowing her a bit of anonymity to fade into the background and begin her travels once more. Unless the amnesia goes further than just recent events and locals, and that's not something I would suggest exploring, I think the "cost" of Sonja's victory seems very minor indeed.
