The First Journey of Agatha Heterodyne: Book Two: Agatha Heterodyne and the Airship City

I really enjoy the way this book gives the start of an explanation for why Book 1 is in sepia-tone and the rest of the series is in full color. (As I recall, there's more explanation later, but it's been a while since I've read these.) This is still a great series, one of my favorites in its genre.

Love Girl Genius - I've been reading them online for quite a while, finally got the books (some of them - there's a couple volumes out that I don't have yet). The story flows nicely between volumes, but I think I can distinguish between them (as I can't for some, like Modesty Blaise). More weirdness happens and piles up on Agatha. Relationships start to form, and she meets some...interesting...people (from Othar to the generals to Krosp). The extra story is great, too - Trelawney.

The ongoing adventures of Agatha Heterodyne, a young scientific genius in a World Gone Mad! Adventure! Romance! Mad Science! This is gorgeous. The illustrations are beautiful, the story is amusing, interesting and self-aware and I am utterly in love. http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php

This is the 2nd book in the Girl Genius series. It starts with Agatha waking up after being abducted to castle Wulfenbach. Once again Agatha ends up running around in her underwear! Gil Wulfenbach suspects there is more to Agatha than a pathetic student.

Girl Genius is a web comic about a mad scientists who seem to be able to break the laws of physics, and it all happens in a gaslight/steampunkish universe. Great art, great story and lots of fun.

Agatha Heterodyne and the Airship City is the second collected volume in the Girl Genius series, with material from issues 4-6 of the comic. It's also the first of the series in full color, which is welcome; the color works much better than the B&W art.

In general this volume works better than the last - the art has only occasional hiccups, mostly from the tendency towards wild over-exaggeration of character's expressions - a good fit for the book, but overplayed at times here. More importantly, the Foglio's continue to give room to their imagination, and the "mad science" part gets better as the comic develops.

There's great pacing here as well - both the backstory and main story unfold at a good pace, and revelations around the show more characters are built up. While probably not the best volume of the series, it's an improvement over the first and probably the best place to start. show less

A fun romp through a steampunk world. Goblins with over the top transylvanian accents. Mad scientists.

very, very good series. A bit funny, a lot of just fun images. There's definitely a larger story that is just beginning. Hard to stop reading hte series
