Why is Amethyst starting now?

With She-Ra and the Power Queen making waves for Netflix, Amethyst may seem modern, but the actor has been around since 1983, when writers Dan Mishkin, Gary Cohn, and Ernie Colón turned their hands to creating the DC Comics' secret-crushing mystery princess. Amethyst: Gemworld Queen worked to get 12 production workers and 16 issues in a continuous series, we were briefly renewed in 2012 under the pen Jem and the Holograms composer Christy Marx, and even discovered a series of short cartoons complete with magical girl change.

But this is it in particular the formation of the series comes out of the dismantling of Wonder Comics DC, a collection of titles directed by Brian Michael Bendis, designed to showcase the company's chief executive officers.

Is any reading required?

Nope! Reeder starts a new one with a new series. But if you're hungry for today's Amethyst day, check it out Justice Justice Vol. 1: Gemworld

, which adds to the list of the reformed Young Justice superteam. In that book, the team is mixed in Gemworld and has to fight its way out of the Dark Opal. It's a very quick story and very fun.

Is Amethyst # 1 good?

The first issue deals with the origin story. In just one panel, we get a whole bunch of looks at who Amy Winston / Amethyst is, how she knows about her transdimensional origins, and how she has restored her sovereignty. Without the burden of that acquisition, the controversy could bring many Gackworld hijinks.

Gemworld itself is fantastic, full of floating amethyst clusters, four-armed House Turquoise citizens, and large mammals with lungs. This is about the same size as ours, but at theworldly and surreal speeds. There are only two Gemworld locations shown – the Amethyst kingdom and the House Turquoise – but we can see the difference between the Amethyst empire that shows more and the House Turquoise empire in architecture. The wide view of Red Reed Gemworld is spectacular, and as Amethyst rides through the air and reaches his winged horse, it is quite clear why he chooses this kingdom over Earth.

The front pages do a good job of introducing Amethyst's trust: he loves his Earth parents, but they don't have understand what Gemworld actually is. On his birthday, they found him a crystal healing guide – they didn't really get it all actually magical jewelry is something – and the smile radiates it. It's funny, but it also sets up some pretty serious statistics.

If anything is lacking, the focus is on the emotional connection of Amethyst to the citizens of Gemworld. When he returned to his kingdom, he was worried about losing his loyal friends, but without several channels of narration, we never really got all the points of his relationship with Citrine and Granch. Amethyst is in search, however, determined to solve the mystery and this first problem comes in the middle. There will be time to reflect on feelings later; the princess has a royal face.
