Titans Annual 2025

I know, I know. I don't post much, anymore. I spend too much time on social media, watching videos, playing games on my phone. But I'm still reading comics and sometimes, I have to post about them. This is one of those times.

I've been catching up on my stack of unread comics, and Titans Annual 1 (2025) looked good enough to save for last. And I was right. It's an absolute treat. Donna Troy has typically been the focus of some of the best stories featuring the Teen Titans/Titans ("Who is Donna Troy?" "Who is Wonder Girl?"). In "Limitless," writer/artist Phil Jimenez shows what's possible when a writer not only knows, but truly understands a character that's been around for decades. All the Titans shine in this, but Donna is center stage in what is, essentially, a retelling of her life so far.

This isn't a quick read. There is a lot of text to go with the gorgeous art, which together bring Donna and her friends and family to life. We've read the story before of how Donna had been been orphaned, Diana and the Amazons took her in, how she'd become Wonder Girl and joined the Teen Titans, and her ill-fated marriage. All that and more is in this tale in which Jimenez fills in the gaps, including the story of Donna's biological father. I was truly moved by this story and it's on my list of favorite comics I've read this year.
