“Who is Donna Troy?” appears to be asked every ten years by DC Comics. First created in 1965, Donna Troy spent a series of stories of origin, depending on what she read. Her history appears to change based on what her story is intended to be useful, rather than honoring the character’s longstanding history. As a result, this question appears to have arisen again, this time addressed by Phil Zimenez, one of the most influential writers and artists in Wonder Woman’s history.
Phil Zimenez has long documented her love for Donna Troy, particularly, but is usually considered one of the most influential people who have an impact on Wonder Woman as a whole. In this issue, Phil writes what appears to be his Magnum Opus about Donna Troy’s character. To prepare for this issue, I have done some light readings and reread some of Donna’s most important stories, including the new Teen Titans #38, Titans #23-25, Titans Play: Annual #1, Issue #16-22; And their annual #2, and Tales of the Titans #3. But in the end, I couldn’t prepare me for this. And I wouldn’t have had it any other way.

The story chronicles the entire history of Donna Troy, and goes all the way to her fateful encounter with her father. But this year is more than that. Jimenez tells a story full of heart, sincerity and intention, so he doesn’t draw punches. Given Donna’s complicated history, the amount of research that Zimenes must have done is clear from the first few pages. Every IOTA is packed with details and precision that only a master creator can pull apart. By taking us from the time Donna was saved from the burning building and saved by Wonder Woman (we finally have an excellent origin in Donna’s back, everyone thankes Phil!), this year is absolutely fantastic, from the early days of the Titans to the gut-harrowing heartbreak of today.
As the story goes from the rabbit hole to the rabbit hole, it details Donna’s life, so it’s impossible not to feel attached to her. Maybe it’s because she grows up and considers her to be one of the coolest Titans ever, but I think it also comes down to the voice that Jimenez has for Donna. She is kind, humorous and sincere to everyone she speaks, and it is a testament to her pure and heroic nature. Here, Jimenez writes one of the most important moments of this annual life. There, all the text bubbles and thoughts make sense as they slowly approach the big reveal of the story. Through this process, Jimenez can help readers connect with Donna by creating stories full of love and empathy for many of her life’s experiences. This also means that it is one of the most powerful points in the question. This year doesn’t feel like the year of other Run the Mill Fillers that comics often offer. This is an opportunity to connect with the heart and soul of the characters on an individual level, from the moment they are created to the day you are reading this. Overall, this book feels like a once-in-a-lifetime story.

Let’s also talk about the creativity and passion that Phil Zimenez pours into this issue. First, Jimenez absolutely nails the dynamics that Titans have with Donna, and their jokes actually make me laugh out loud, to a subtle nod in honor of the infamous new teen giants of Marv Wolfman and George Perez, and most importantly, to the personal relationship between them. Titans will always be at their heart, a family built on the foundations of love and all its amazing flaws. And while this is a story about Donna, it takes place in the Titans series, Jimenez emphasizes how Donna’s development has shaped team members over the years. By using Donna Troy’s eye lenses for this, Zimenes also offers a more heartfelt analysis of the team. After all, who else could be more central to Titan than the ones who named them?

Another stroke of genius is the use of panels. Every inch of each page is filled with amazing art that can shine in its greatest abilities thanks to the layout of the page. As a result, the story is much more cohesive and there is a clear flow that is often not possible to capture. Furthermore, the story does an amazing job aligning Donna’s various interactions with people throughout the storyline with her and her, along with the concept of love. Unlike most of the time when the story is a “love letter” to the characters, I felt this took it a step further by showing good, bad and ugh when it comes to love. Being able to see and read Donna’s highs and lows with artwork perfectly crafted for excellent dialogue will help this issue become more honest. Also, Jimenez’s intricate linework brings this story to the fullest, helping Arif Priant’s vibrant colors feel as magical as you want. As a result, the story is creative, fun and totally heartbreaking. None of these could have been possible without the talent and attention to detail revealed by Jimenez and Prianto.
Phil Zimenez teased this issue for quite some time, but it was certainly worth the wait. From start to finish, this question is perfect. Not only is it fulfilling to have a solid grasp of her history, she is also pleased to learn more about her family. Donna’s father doesn’t play the role he expects, but the story does an epic job of showing how it had a huge impact on Donna’s life. At first glance, the issue appears to be based on a fateful encounter between Donna and her father. Instead, readers are given stories to examine, define and explain how infinite love is capable. Another thing worth noting is that Donna’s relationship with her son has not changed a bit since her tragic death. Jimenez exploits this relationship to gently show that the loss of a loved one is something that will stay with us forever, but that does not mean that love will disappear.
In a story that shows how capable a special and sensational manga is, Titans Year 2025 is already my favorite Comic of the Year. It’s a great story that teaches readers how important love is to shape who we are. If you’re going to get one manga this year, then this is it.
“Titans Annual” 2025 is full of respect

Phil Zimenez’s much-anticipated story of Donna Troy is full of respect for the character, showing how meaningful she is and how meaningful and resonant she is.
The story succeeds in Donna’s history without escaping her importance as a Titan.
This story is so beautiful that it offers a surprise that will make you laugh, cry, and chin drop with a 50-page shy book.
We still don’t have the actual hero name again for Donna! Certainly she hasn’t told the villain to be careful of “Donna”? !
