Another Excellent Book

I discovered the Girl genius comics a little over a year ago and I instantly went out and bought all the books they had so I could read them whenever I wanted. I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves steampunk, science, humor, or heck just anyone.

A beautiful edition worthy of the art it holds

This edition of Girl Genius is an exquisitely well-crafted book. Includes comics from Monday, March 13, 2006 to Friday, February 23, 2007[..] with Agatha in Sturmhalten. It's bound in a kind of plush hardcover that is sturdy and comfortable to read with beautiful cover art. Colors are crisp and vibrant. Several extra drawings are included as well as "An Agatha Heterodyne 1 Minute Mystery." I would love to get the rest of the Girl Genius hardcover books (1-5) but they seem to sell out and become unavailable rather quickly.

just keep getting better

I think that this is the best comic series running today. They just keep getting better and better. Very funny, very original, and very suspenseful. Fundamentally a steampunk fantasy, clearly anime/manga influenced, but very American in its sly sense of humor. Never predictable, the plot is involved and surprisingly sophisticated. And the art is lovely, if unapologetically cartoonish. I can't wait for the books; I'm reading each page as it comes out on the Girl Genius web site--but I still have a pre-order in for the next volume.

Agatha Comes Full Circle

Girl Genius 6: Agatha Heterodyne and The Golden Trilobite is a wonderful book for children of all ages, or at least ten to *harumph* years old. In This Volume, Agatha resolves several of the dangling threads of the previous five and unleashes her bent but funny genius. The production values are high, the binding excellent, and the print clear and readable, and the inking and coloring crisp and well balanced, letting the distinctive Foglio style shine. The writing is funny and not, I think, too reliant on knowing a lot about previous stories, although a working knowledge of #5 would help as it is a direct continuation of the plot. Buy it and show it to your friends! Show Them ALL!
