Girl Genius Wins a Hugo!,
By
This review is from: Girl Genius Volume 8: Agatha Heterodyne and the Chapel of Bones (Paperback)
Girl Genius, the story of the Spark (aka mad scientist) Agatha Heterodyne, has always been entertaining and action packed- but this volume takes the adventure to a whole new level. The story opens with Agatha entering her ancestral home, the Castle Heterodyne, which she has never so much as set eyes on before.
The castle is packed with dangerous prisoners of Baron Wulfenbach, who, depending on who you talk to, is either a heartless dictator or just a guy trying to keep the peace. The prisoners are trying desperately to repair the castle, which is apparently sentient and *began* as mad, bad and dangerous to know and has now upgraded to having multiple personalities and a nasty persecution complex as well- though the latter is admittedly well-earned. The prisoners, needless to say, aren't having a lot of luck with that. Meanwhile, Gilgamesh Wulfenbach, and several others of Agatha's old friends are also trying to enter the castle for various reasons and in various groups. But they might have a little trouble finding her, as she's adopted the persona of a mass murderer in order to enter the castle and drops quickly out of sight with the reluctant aide of a former enemy, turned minion. The castle has also taken an interest in her love life, so who knows what it'll spring on her next. This volume, winner of the first Hugo award for Best Graphic Story, keeps the pace fast and the characters on the nose. It's an absolute page-turned, and it'll keep you on pins and needles until the very bitter end!

Girl Genius delivers yet again,

This review is from: Girl Genius Volume 8: Agatha Heterodyne and the Chapel of Bones (Paperback)
The Girl Genius series keeps getting better and better. The blend of humor, drama and romance is perfect. I look forward to each printing, devour it, then lament the wait for the next volume. If you are looking for a great story set in a fun and unique era... look no farther. Girl Genius will have looking around the house for whatever you can cobble together into a coffee machine... or death ray, if you prefer.

My first review of this is a 4??,

This review is from: Girl Genius Volume 8: Agatha Heterodyne and the Chapel of Bones (Paperback)
I should be ashamed, since the last SEVEN issues were 5's. But that's no secret. Everyone loves this comic it seems, for good reason. This one is a little let down though because the plot is kind of thin and the jokes are just a little corny. Just to warn dedicated readers. But it's still great and I'll be looking forward to the next one.
