Absolutely stunning cover by Phil Jimenez and George Pérez

Amazing interior art by José Luis Garcia-Lopez and George Pérez. The Pérez influence is definitly noticeable, yet, he does something that no other inker has been able to do in years... make José Luis Garcia-Lopez pencils look like José Luis Garcia-Lopez pencils (maybe the deal Pérez signed is to primarily be an inker for DC books). These two men are my favorite artists ever.


Like I said, the book is an excellent work of art.

Still don't care for the story that much.

Athyns (from "Who is WonderGirl") returns; there's some kind of war coming (Infinite Crisis); references to the Rann/Thanagar War (apparantly there is some all-powerful weapon hidden on the planet Athyns is protecting that the Titans of Myth want very badly); Donna seems insane; and the Teen Titans and Outsiders travel to this planet via a blue sphere that transforms into what appears to be a giant, glowing vagina! :eek:

This last part is especially disturbing (and unintentionally funny) when Arsenal sticks his head through the opening to invite the Titans to hop on in!

This issue was FAR superior to the abominable first one.


The storyline was more coherent.

An improvement over the 1st issue... I liked the little bit of characterization of the Titans and Outsiders. At least some of the anti-war references were toned down this issue (though still not absent). Hoping next issue will be still better, though.

Decent issue. Cover was beautiful indeed. Hate to say it, but Phil should just stick to pencilling. He's an awesome illustrator, but a so-so writer.

I loved it, but at the same time I totally understand why some people are confused and/or thought it was abominable. It really needs to have a sticker on it that says: Warning! For hard core Troia fans only! It's probably a good thing they didn't make this an official Identity Crisis tie-in.

I'm loving this series. Once upon a time, in the dim dark ages of the 80's, Donna Troy was one of my favourite characters. I'ts good to see her getting the royal treatment.

Still, I can understand people's confusion. I'd recommend the new "Who is Donna Troy" trade to anyone who needs a catch up. I think DC should have released this before the miniseries started. It may even have increased sales on the series.

I sooo wanna see the next one as soon as possible. When Goddesses go wild!

I got the first one after the week it came out. It wasn't very...readable.

#2 I liked the issue.

Though I am new to the character.

Liked this one much better. Primarily due to less Donna/Titans and more Titans/Outsiders, I guess. ;)

I feel basically the same way about Rann/Thanagar that I do about this series: I like each successive issue more and more, but as a whole I just can't get into them. I do like Rann/Thanagar more overall than this, but still.

I wonder what was the reason why certain members of both teams weren't present.

something to do with the insiders arc i guess since this is a continuation of that

Worlds better than the so-so first issue. The art is great.
But I was a bit lost, to be honest. I went online and did a little research after the first issue and it helped out a lot. I would also recommend this for Rann/Thanagar war, which can get confusing very fast.

Waiting with baited breath for the Donna/Cassie fight. The who is donna troy tpb helps immensely for people new to the character and interested in this series
