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. [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] 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.

This issue is a bit of a filler story before Amethyst gets caught up in the Crisis on Infinite Earths. It has [...] Here’s an awesome sketch of Amethyst by Benjamin Birdie, the artist/writer for The Rack: Amethyst looks a little bummed out. Perhaps she is thinking about that ratfink Prince Topaz. In this issue Amethyst deals with the wreckage of her unfortunate love life on the Gemworld and Carnelian gets evil. Very very evil! Also, Sardonyx is tempted by treachery yet again. The title of the issue is “Sacrifice.” I really like the cover for this issue, as it has a courtly love sort of [...] This is one of my favorite issues of Amethyst Princess of Gemworld. The visually striking cover shows Amethyst illuminated in purple against a stark black background, walking towards the reader.
