Amethyst, princess of gemworld #4 (second series)
A little housekeeping note - I made an index page so these recaps are now listed in chronological order.
The cover of the fourth issue shows Amy, Emmy, and Taffy cowering in a basement. Dark Opal is standing in the doorway sayng “Hello girls…fancy meeting you here!” Carl aka Carnelian is rubbing his hands together with glee. That can’t be good!
This issue is called “There and Back Again.” Amy wakes up wth the sunrise and is surprised to see her mom and dad sitting in chairs across from her bed. They explain about Amy’s mysterious coma. Amy talks about her visit to the Gemworld as Amethyst and says “I feel like I’m remembering a nightmare, but it really happened!”
She explains that Citrina seemed to be calling her to the Gemworld. Amy remembers the time that she almost faded away on the Gemworld, and comments that her parents could have woken her up without any harm. Amy isn’t sure if fighting Fire Jade was the reason she was called back, or if there’s another threat to the Gemworld that she might still need to fight. Mrs. Winston yells at Amy not to even think about returning.
One of the little details that I like about this series is that Amy has a Wonder Woman poster in her room. Amy’s habit of following Wonder Woman comes in handy later in this issue.

Outside Castle Amethyst, a dark figure wearing a green hooded cloak pulls himself out of a hole in the ground. …
