It is a bit of a slog wrapping up my coverage of the last couple issues of the second series of Amethyst, because such unpleasant things happen to her. The cover of this issue shows new characters Flaw and The Child being mean to Amethyst.
Flaw is holding Amethyst over his head, about to throw [...]

Here’s what I’m thinking of gettting:

Viz
Fullmetal Alchemist #19
High School Debut #10
Honey Hunt #2 – Soooooooo looking forward to a new Aihara title.
Vagabond Vizbig #4
Fruits Basket #23 – I am somewhat relieved that this series will be over.
CMX
Emma #9
There are actually a couple things I’ll be getting from Marvel:
Power Pack Classic Vol 1 – I think [...]

The cover of this issue shows a battered Amethyst crouched against a wall. Her sword and shield are broken. A man-shaped shadow looms over her, with the text on the cover proclaiming “Guess Who’s Back?” The title of this issue is “Inner Sanctum.”
On earth in a darkened bedroom in Hudson, New York something is making [...]

It is not a secret that I’m a huge Amethyst fan! Amethyst isn’t available in a collected edition but it is well worth visiting the back issue bins at your local comic book store to collect the series, especially the first 12 issue mini-series.
Amethyst co-creators Gary Cohn and Dan Mishkin graciously agreed to answer a [...]

I tend to keep my “to read” manga and graphic novel pile scattered around on different bookshelves, but I was curious to see how much reading I have to go through, so I stacked it up. The pile reaches my upper hip.
I do not know why I haven’t read OMAC yet. I think it must [...]

This is by far one of my least favorite issues of Amethyst. I fortunately was able to remain ignorant of this issue for many years, because I skipped it when I was originally collecting the series and didn’t read it until many years later when I got a complete run of the series from Ebay. [...]

Crisis on Infinite Earths lives on in the mind of my inner 10 year old girl as one of my most traumatic comic book memories, because the mini-series managed to kill Supergirl and blind Amethyst. Since those were the only comic books I was following at the time, Crisis really bummed me out. I’m not [...]

Sorry for the long delay between Amethyst posts! They are time consuming so when I am busy with my not very glamorous life, I don’t have much time to put them together.
This issue is a bit of a filler story before Amethyst gets caught up in the Crisis on Infinite Earths. It has a guest [...]

One of Tokyopop’s publishing initiatives that I’ve been curious about is their new line of color graphic novels. I’m not sure how well these will do with the contracting bookstore market for manga and general publishing woes, but I like the idea of being able to read more comics from around the world.
