December 1, 2011 9:38 am Some interesting ideas here, though I think the "Amethyst's birth parents turn out to be evil" bit goes too far in upending the original concept ; it smacks too much of the grim-and-gritty, life-is-really-hopeless attitude that the first Amethyst series decidedly did not buy into. As for artists, the phenomenal Ernie Colon is still around and still working; if there were ever to be a new Amethyst series, I'd say pay him enough to do the work on scratchboard, as he did with the preview insert that appeared in Legion of Super-Heroes.
