Badly's an adverb

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl

Any chance someone can recommend essential Wonder Woman or Donna Troy reading?

(Anonymous) 2013-07-31 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
some of donna's better stories:

teen titans year one
new teen titans (wolfman/perez)
titans v1 (starting with grayson's run)
the titans/young justice crossover (her death)
the return of donna troy
parts of wonder woman v2 and v3 (the first two arcs or so of the latter)

most of her recent stuff, before the reboot, was pretty mediocre. but she had runs on jla and titans v2. she also pops into green lantern at times, was in 52 and countdown... but those are plotty and at times awful, not so much character-based.

the titans/yj crossover is called "graduation day" i think but it's been years

DA

Adding onto the Return of Donna Troy, I'd say some of the latter of Ion.

Also she had an ongoing called Dark Star in the 90s that crossed over a lot with Green Lantern.

Mia has a lot less reading, so just check out Green Arrow v3 and her run in Teen Titans. From there, it's depending on what canon point you want to take her from. I'd hit up comicbookdb to see the rest of her appearances, but she is far more limited.

As for Roy, it really depends. To me, essential reading is taking a glance at his stuff in the Teen Titans, the 90s Grayson run of The Titans to get a feel of his relationship with the team, and The Outsiders. There are also his appearances in v2 and v3 of Green Arrow that are important. V3 is good for getting a modern take on Ollie and Roy, as well as how he and Connor interact. While there are some moments where Connor is white-washed due to bad colorists, the writing is pretty much what I feel would be spot on for their interaction. There is also all the stuff from when he hooked up and ended up with Lian, but personally, when I went to read for Roy, I wasn't able to find this stuff no matter how hard I tried.

In addition, there is also the reboot of The Titans (not DCnU, but it was another volume) and ... of course, all of the events surrounding Cry for Justice/The Rise of Arsenal, but as far as I know, that's a fandom accepted terrible run of comics in general.

Oh, and of course, there is Teen Titans: Year One, if you were looking for Speedy!Roy and not just doing an umbrella label here. That is most likely the most succinct version of him you'll find.

There is also an Arsenal miniseries that I'm fond of. It's just called Arsenal, and it features Roy and Lian's relationship.

Thank you so much! I feel much less overwhelmed now that I have a starting point and a direction to go. ♥

Teen Titans: Year One is the only thing I've read with Roy in it actually. XD
