I loved this! I am enchanted by Amethyst - a teenage girl from Earth who also happens to be a magical princess from Gemworld.DC recently worked the character into Young Justice, which I thought was a great fit for her. But this mini-series collection by Amy Reader is a modern return to the character's sword and sorcery origins. The idea that she changes age (and becomes a lot curvier) when she jumps from Earth to Gemworld is probably problematic nowadays and is abandoned, but the story draws on

This was, unfortunately, deeply disappointing. It's basically a sequel to the original Amethyst run, which I loved, and... completely changes everything from it. The art and color was pretty! The story was poorly written even with my complaints about changing everything about it. A princess discovers that her kingdom is secretly evil the whole time stories can be done well. But this just full out ignored emotional beats including meeting your long thought dead parents?? I was very much looking f...

The first few issues are great, but the last half leaves you with unanswered questions and it just ends. Was disappointed with the ending as it doesn’t seem to properly conclude the series. Overall a bit meh and disappointing

Read this as single issues, just finished the last issue. Good story. It was awesome to revisit Gemworld with Amy. I miss this character and setting. I hope they do more with her in the future.

I feel like I need to give this comic series two separate ratings. The first half was brilliant, exactly what I wanted and more from this. It took me straight back to growing up in the 80s with the whole retro 80s animation vibe. Then what happened to the second half? It just became this sudden rush to cram an ending together? I'm not even sure what happened at the end there with the bad guy. Suddenly he was there, they were fighting?! The final part was just so rushed. It was so delayed and it

A bratty, loud-mouthed princess returns to her homeland only to learn her people have been disappeared to places unknown by forces unknown. Not an ideal sweet 16 for Amy Winston, but alas, such are the beginnings of a hero in great need of practical experience. AMETHYST drops readers into the knee-high boots of Princess Amethyst, who upon gallivanting from Earth to Gemworld for the umpteenth time, discovers she has far less control over circumstances than she had previously believed.AMETHYST res...

This book has beautiful art and an interesting world to offer... it was all just to quick. I didn't get to know the characters properly, I sort of understand the plot... I just wish everything was better developed.

On the stronger side, Amy Reeder's art is as always amazing and her story here is brimming with potential.More in the vein of the modern She-Ra Netflix series (which I absolutely adore and is perfect), there's still in these issues that I wish had more time to breath. Like the slow build up of her powers, the relationship with her friends, expanding upon the world. It all happens fast and lose and I guess it's not much of a complaint when my biggest one is: I wanted more of this.

This is apparently a sequel to the original Amethyst comic, which I haven't read, with a lot of retconning. There's no connection to Christy Marx's great run from a few years back, and I'm not sure if this version of Amethyst is compatible with the one that showed up in Young Justice even more recently. I'm not sure how fans of the original version will feel about this one, because some very fundamental things are changed quite radically over the course of this book. Even without having a previo...

Strong start that fizzled by the end. It's still good, but the last issue feels way more rushed than previous issues. Overall, though, the new characters, new environments and new politics introduced into Gemworld are quite good. I'd love to see Amy Reeder get a Gemworld title.

Overall the story and art were okay, but it resolves almost none of the threads or questions brought about throughout the story. It focused to much on ending the story immediately following the climax.

This is not for me....this seemed like it was trying to be a She-ra kinda knockoff. The simple names and over-the-top fantasy element.

A six issue fetch quest where Amethyst just tours Gemworld. Other than the designs of each realm, there's no difference to any of it. Also the last couple of issues bring up a lot of questions that are never resolved. Just as Reeder started to create some interesting threads, the series ended. I did like the art and coloring, although Amethyst's hair style was strange. It often looked like she was bald on top with just hair on her sides due to that weird tiara.

I missed the original 1980s Amethyst series when it came out but have always felt like it was a comic I would have liked. So, I've been interested whenever they've tried to reinvigorate or reboot the character.Overall, I liked this series. It was fun and whimsical and I love the artwork. If you're looking for an all-ages fantasy romp with a female protagonist and a wondrous world that you can read in a couple hours, then this might very well be for you.This is not an origin story or a retelling

Amethyst is a a mini series in the Wonder Comics line for DC. It follows Amy Winston and her adventures through Gemworld while she tries to save her people. The trade collects issues 1-6 of the single issues.First off, there is so much purple and I am loving every second of it! Even the letters have a purple dialogue box, but instead of getting lost like you would imagine it just makes everything flow together nicely. Even the dialogue boxes add to the art. I am not very familiar with the charac...

Sorry front cover of the first issue but this adventure will be quite forgettable. Points to Reeder for trying to keep an art and color theme going but this lacked any story and everything got sketchy toward the end. Another case of the writer thinking just destroying what came before will open the character to new things... then not introducing anything new.

Originally read as single-issues.4.5 stars (though some of that may be filtered though the lens of nostalgia.)I'm not ashamed to confess that Amethyst: Princess of Gemworld is one of my all-time favorite guilty-pleasure comics. (Both of the original maxi-series were (and are still!)compelling stuff!So I was pleased to see Amethyst become a part of the DCU in the new 52, and re-appear in Young Justice. And doubly thrilled to get a new solo mini-series (which just wrapped up today as I write this....

This is a good adventure novel on its own, even if you didn't focus on the superhero aspect. In fact, the story barely touches on the fact that on Earth, Amy/Amethyst is a superhero and has worked alongside the Young Justice. The only thing regarding her powers is towards the end of the novel when she's listing what she can do, even though she's not sure what to do. Even then, her powers play out a lot like magic. While Amy can come off as a tad impulsive at some points, she is only sixteen year...

I would like to thank edelweiss and the publisher for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review. I will admit, I had never heard of Princess Amethyst before but the cover art drew me right in. I read this in one sitting, I really enjoyed the story line and the art work throughout the graphic novel, I look forward to more stories.

This is part of DC's new 'Wonder Comics' brand, and it's another reboot of 'Amethyst'. Never mind that it is technically a sequel to the character's classic, pre-New 52 origin story and first adventure (Christy Marx's work doesn't apply here at all, which is a shame) - in the end, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how much you know about Amethyst, her story, and Gemworld in general before reading Amy Reeder's take on the DC fantasy action heroine; in fact, if anything, it is better to go in b...
