TROJAN WARRIOR: JIMENEZ TALKS: "DC SPECIAL: THE RETURN OF DONNA TROY"
by Jonah Weiland, Executive Producer
Posted: August 2, 2005
Donna Troy was one of the most beloved members of the DC Comics Teen
Titans. Fans mourned her death in the "Graduation Day" mini-series and
rejoiced when DC announced the four-issue "DC Special: Return of Donna
Troy" mini-series by writer Phil Jimenez and artist Jose Garcia Lopez.
However, when some readers picked up the first issue of the series they
found it wasn't quite what they expected and some were left confused.
CBR News chatted with Jimenez by phone last week for some clarification
and background on the series and some hints on how it ties into the
looming "Infinite Crisis."
(excerpt)
After the DC Universe settles down from
the events of "Infinite Crisis," readers can expect appearances from
Donna in a monthly DC book. "I think there's been some talk. The plan
had always been that once she was reintroduced she would be placed in
either the 'Titans' or 'The Outsiders.' I suspect it will be one of
those books."
Jimenez has enjoyed crafting a story that
reintroduces one of his favorite characters and places her at the
forefront of the big events in the DC Universe. He urges readers who may
be confused or have questions to stick with the book. The final two
issues of "The Return of Donna Troy" should tie things together for them
nicely. "I just hope readers remembers that it is a four-issue series,"
Jimenez said. "Just because everything wasn't explained in issue one
doesn't mean it doesn't pan out over the other three issues."

GEORGE PEREZ TITANS, INKING, & EXCLUSIVES

George Perez, who recently signed a
five-year exclusive agreement with DC Comics, should have no problem
filling that time with work. He's inking several DC projects, including
The Return of Donna Troy, and has tons of offers for even more work
within the company.
“If I were to say 'yes' to every offer
that’s been made to me in the past few months I’d be busy through 2011,”
the superstar writer/artist reflected at the Pittsburgh Comicon,
grateful that after 30 years doing comics professionally he is still in
demand, he joked “I'm the pretty girl at the prom.”
Celebrating the 25th anniversary of his
landmark series The New Teen Titans with writer Marv Wolfman, Perez is
currently inking Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez’ pencils on the Return of Donna
Troy miniseries “I‘m getting such an education,” he said. He also
recreated the cover of NTT No. 1 for the cover of this year‘s Overstreet
Price Guide. Plus he's resumed work on the Titans graphic novel, Games
with collaborator Wolfman. Though he isn’t involved with the Cartoon
Network's Teen Titans show's production, he also gets a percentage of
profits from the cartoon and spin-off merchandise. In fact, between that
and the financial success of the long-awaited JLA/Avengers, Perez has
spent most of the past year on vacation, making up for lost time with
his wife, Carol. Time that he lost while creating the work-intensive
JLA/Avengers crossover which, at one point, gave him tendonitis. “I have
not drawn an interior comic book page in nine months,” he said.

05 SUMMER PREVIEW: THE RETURN OF DONNA TROY
written by Chris Ward

The former Titan resurfaces with clues to 'Crisis'.
It's a brand-new dawn for Donna!
Originally Wonder Girl Donna Troy, seemingly killed in Titans/Young Justice: Graduation Day mini-series but instead transported to a strange world, roars back to life in DC Special: The Return of Donna Troy.
written by Phil Jimenez with art by Jose Luis Garcia and George Perez,
the four issue mini also serves as the official prologue to October's Infinite Crisis mini-series (drawn by Jimenez and written by Geoff Jones).
"This series sets Donna Troy up as a
major player in the Crisis itself," the writer says. "It also connects
to the cosmic events of the Rann/Thanagar War and the Teen Titans and
the Outsiders. We're using her background and history to explain why
she's so pivotal to the DC Universe, and why she, more than anyone else,
has to be in the role she's about to take on."
Plus August's issue #3 is girl-on-girl action when Donna tangles with current Wonder Girl Cassie Sandsmark!
