blackhorseandthecherrytree asked: ok so i have sort of a question, and i'm not one hundred percent sure who to ask: but: what's the best comics to read with Donna Troy?

:D My first rec is definitely The New Teen Titans; it’s a really fun series for a long time, and it explores and develops all of the characters in interesting ways, including Donna. Issue 38 - Who Is Donna Troy? - is the first story to tackle her origin issues, and I still think it’s the best one. 

There’s forty-nine issues of New Teen Titans, and then we  get into The New Titans. New name, same numbering. 50 - 54 is Who Is Wonder Girl?because in the Post-Crisis continuity, Wonder Woman hadn’t left Themyscira yet when Donna was rescued. So instead she was rescued by the mythical Titans, who raised her and other doomed children on another world before sending them home with false memories. 

Not as elegant or as satisfying, but it’s still a pretty good story for Donna and the Titans. 

In issue 55, she becomes Troia, to honour her new legacy:

This iteration lasts for 130 issues, and the quality…degrades, but there are still good moments for all the characters. Donna’s appearances become less frequent; she gave up her powers to save her son, lost custody to Terry after their divorce, and then lost them both, along with her step daughter, in a car accident.  

Next comes Wonder Woman: Donna Troy, a one shot where she mourns her family and teams up with Diana and Captain Marvel to fight Neo-Nazis. 

We get our third origin for Donna in Wonder Woman, issues 131-136. It’s ridiculously convoluted, but there are some really nice moments between Diana and Donna, and their familial connection is re-established. (You get more of that in Wonder Woman Secret Files 03.)

Then comes JLA/Titans, when both current and former Titans are pitted against the JLA. Donna has a really heart wrenching scene.

Next is The Titans - the team reunites! But none of them are the same as they were, and they need to figure out how they fit together now. I can only vouch for the first twenty issues myself, but I recommend them passionately.
