#119 Girl Genius Vol. 1: Agatha Heterodyne & the Beetleburg Clank by Phil & Kaja Foglio

A lot of people I know rave about these comics. I have to say I will have to give it a miss. the art leaves me a bit too cold. I would try the next book to see if the story speed picks up but my library doesn't have the second volume.

Girl Genius Vol 1

Definitely check out vol 2...
The style of the artwork changed slightly & it was done in colour from then on; which made a vast improvement!

The artwork and plot have improved to the point where the series won the webcomic Hugo, last time.

I know about the win but lots of things win awards that I don't care for. ;-)

The initial artwork sucked rocks. Pick any comic from the second or third year on, and it's a world of difference.

It's all available to read online.

I'll look at online at some point, just not sure when.
