Index: Donna Troy as a Darkstar
Donna's career as a Darkstar was chronicled in New Titans and
Green Lantern, as well as the Darkstars series. Most of the Darkstars issues
aren't of much consequence, as far as Donna is concerned. The only highlights
are seeing her assuming the Darkstar mantle [Darkstars #22-23]; For hard-core
Titans fans, I suppose Darkstars #26-27 is of note,
as Starfire assists the Darkstars and says goodbye to Donna as she leaves
earth.
The best handling of Donna as a Darkstar was in the pages of
Green Lantern. For assuming the Darkstar mantle for a short time, Donna made
quite a few appearances as a Darkstar; Here are the most notable ones, in the
best 'chronoligical order' that could be determined
