what do u think are the best donna comics?
oh my god an ask ?? and about donna troy ?? i’m honored🙂↕️
so i'm not really sure if you meant best comics to get into donna troy and like her story and all that, or just what i like. i'm gonna list my favorites (aka what i consider the "best" of what i've read) and if you'd like a different listing just lmk !!
the new titans #50-55 - this is the "who is wonder girl?" arc and where we establish donna's history with the (god) titans and new chronus. this is also where she adopts the iconic name "troia" and she does it to honor the titans who raised her
wonder woman (1987) #133-136 - can't talk about donna troy without talking about the dark angel story arc. i think i've talked about it enough on here that this is my preferred backstory for donna some people think its too much but i think it's amazing. it shows readers and the other characters alike just how absolutely strong and resilient my girl is. i mean...her soul (which was merely a piece of diana's own at first; she was not meant actually live) suffered SO much, but she was so strong and pure-hearted despite it all that it became its own thing and cemented itself into the timeline ?? COME ON WHO ELSE DO YOU KNOW IS DOING IT LIKE HER ???
also in this arc this beautiful page was born, and these amazing quotes were birthed: "it has been truly said that that which does not destroy us makes us stronger. in the case of donna troy, this was very literally so." & "the donna troy that you know and love is the sum total of all the moments of her life" all this after discovering she's lived countless lives to absolute rock bottom just to be forced to do it again btwww !!
wonder woman secret files #2 - this is basically a rundown on ww #133-136 and everything donna so far but it's told from the perspective of the amazons on the island and boy do they glaze my girl good🙏 also i love seeing donna as a princess. she has this way of being so genuine and down-to-earth that i'm not saying diana doesn't possess, obviously she's THE wonder woman...but yeah
wonder woman (1987) #168 & 169 - more sisterisms between donna and diana, more princess donna (who was actually thinking more of the island and it's people than diana and her mom here !) and just overall a fun story to me
wonder woman (1987) #170 - i really loved this issue. donna's only in it for like a page or two but she's the sweetest and she's so excited to be living with diana. the dynamics here between lois and diana are really fun
green lantern (1990) #58 & #78 - now i just recently got into the donnakyle of it all but...i love. in #58 they're just friends (hella flirty) and she's helping him unpack. she's relaxed and playful in a way we don't get to see her in the other runs she's appearing in at the time (tnt & darkstars) mostly due to her going through a divorce. #78 happens after her and kyle went through a rough patch but decide to work on things from hereon out. it sweet, emotional, and it's nice to see her be a little stricter on a relationship she wants to be serious after everything w terry. people call them each other's rebounds, and it might've started off that way but i do truly believe they found something outside of that and very real with each other. very cute ending to this one. there's a lot of in between moments but these two issues stand out to me most
nightwing (2016) #75 - now, is she only in this one for like...4 out of 40 pages? yes. do i care? nope. her and garth being the first people to see dick after his memory is fully restored is so so important to me #wondertwins
titans 2023 annual #1 - okay, i haven't quite read this one myself, im following a very long very thorough reading order of pretty much all (most of) donna's appearances post-crisis. BUT I'VE ONLY HEARD GOOD THINGS AND IF YOU'RE NOT A FREAK LIKE ME YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY LOOK INTO THIS FOR DONNA
YAY I FINISHED !! wow despite all the comics i've read of her this feels like very little ??😭 but like i said, i'm still following a reading list myself and if you'd like, i could keep you updated as i read on which ones i really enjoy ! thanks for the ask this was sm fun <33
