Amethyst and the Weirdoverse – Challengers of the Unknown
The third part of the Convergence crossover takes place in Challengers of the Unknown #6. This is more of a standalone story than the other titles, with the Gemworld connection not really made apparent until the conclusion of the story. The cover shows the Challengers ducking away from an orb emitting a strange yellow light. [...]
Amethyst and the Weirdoverse – Night Force
The second issue of the Convergence crossover takes place in Night Force #8. The cover shows The Child attacking Prince Topaz. Poor Topaz. I made fun of him so much in the main Amethyst series, but he really really doesn’t deserve what happens to him in this crossover. Night Force is about a sorcerer named [...]
Amethyst and the Weirdoverse – Book of Fate
The 90s were an awkward time for comic books. This awkwardness extended to Keith Giffen’s usage of Amethyst and the Gemworld in a crossover series called “Convergence” in the “Weirdoverse,” some loosely connected comic books that dealt with magic in the late 90s. For more on the Weirdoverse, I refer you to this helpful Wikipedia [...]
Shoujo Amethyst
I’m going to do some more posts about Amethyst in a couple weeks or so, but in the meantime to tide you over here’s a cute sketch Emily did of a shoujo-style Amethyst:
Amethyst Princess of Gemworld #4 – Third mini series
At last, the conclusion of the final Amethyst mini series. The cover shows Amethyst soaring above Topaz Keep. The text on the cover says “The Last Enchantment!” and the title of the issue is “After the Fall.” The issue opens at the Diamond Vatican, the rebuilt dwelling of the diamond priests. All remaining houses of [...]
Amethyst Princess of Gemworld #3 – Third mini series
The cover of this issue shows a giant ghostly purple Amethyst looming in the background as the brothers Donal and Mordu square off for a fight. The text on the cover says “The Sacrifice!” The title of the issue is “Bloody Sun at Noon.” That all sounds fairly ominous, doesn’t it? When we left off [...]
Amethyst Princess of Gemworld #2 – Third Mini Series
In the second issue of the third mini-series Amethyst confronts Mordu, Donal finds Topaz keep changed in his absence, and Emmy gets an unwelcome surprise back on Earth. The cover of the issue shows Amethyst and Mordu gearing up for magical battle. He’s surrounded by ugly creatures of chaos while she has more elemental animals [...]
Amethyst Princess of Gemworld #1 – Third Mini-Series
I have mixed feelings about the four issue mini-series that came out in the late 80s. While I was happy to see Amethyst again, her character changed dramatically. I thought the contrast of Amy Winston with her older incarnation as Amethyst made the earlier series charming. In this mini-series, Amethyst is a remote goddess, with [...]
Amethyst Princess of Gemworld – The Final Chapter
The final issue of Amethyst! This issue wraps everything up but it depresses me so I’ve been procrastinating rereading it. I will soldier on! The cover of this issue shows Amethyst ready for action in a large facet of an amethyst gem. She’s surrounded by the reflections of important people in her life like her [...]
Amethyst Princess of Gemworld #16 (second series)
I completely forgot that after this issue there is a one-shot special issue that concludes the story. So this is the next to last issue. Amy goes back to Earth and horrible, horrible things happen. Plus, Topaz gets a haircut. A horrible, horrible, haircut! The cover of the issue shows Flaw holding up Mr. Winston [...]
