Sword of Sorcery #0

You probably thought I forgot to mention this one in my DC Comics rundown this week. Well… YOU THOUGHT WRONG. I just wanted to give it a special shout-out! Yes, Sword of Sorcery #0 marks the return of the one and only Amethyst! Fun Fact: this series is being written by the creator of 1980s cartoon icon Jem! That’s just awesome.

In this new series featuring the long-awaited return of AMETHYST, Amy Winston leads a strange life on the road with her mother. She’s about to learn why it’s all been necessary when she discovers she’s the lost princess of Gemworld – and has powerful enemies hunter her!

AMETHYST is written by Christy Marx, best known for her work on animated TV series including G.I. Joe, Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and more, as well as the comics series Sisterhood of Steel. And in the backup story set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, the monstrous warrior BEOWULF is charged with finding and defeating the evil Grendel.

DC Comics’ Sword of Sorcery #0 comes out this Wednesday!
