    This one surprises me in how little it's talked about, considering how well-regarded "The Dark" imprint is from the New 52. Then again, this is an isekai story, so it won't be everyone's cup of tea. This is a pure fantasy book, which is very refreshing for DC. Amethyst was a pretty enjoyable character. I really dug the worldbuilding with all of the different crystal-based houses. Eclipse was a surprisingly fitting antagonist for Amethyst. Even the back-ups with Beowulf and Stalker had my interest, and it disappoints me they haven't done much of anything with any of these characters since.
