I’m impressed with this series. I have Girl Genius #4 in my hands and I’m dazzled by the artwork of Phil Foglio. Its a touch of manga, but not really manga. The colors are superb! This comic book is like eye candy to the reader.
Now to the story. I love the story! I was caught up in the interactions between Agatha Clay and Sleipnir OHara. It was one laugh after another as the other students give Agatha a real hard time for running around in her pajamas. Agatha has a strange reality to adapt too and will learn more about the pecking order between the children student hostages.
With a world of doomsday machines and monsters, Girl Genius will only move along with splendid delight.
The lurking Baron Klaus Wulfenbach is the perfect tyrant for this story and with his control of Europe, the thoughts of Hitler comes in mind. The Zeppelin was the pride of Germany and now we have Castle Wulfenbach that is so large, it intimidates anything in the air. It’s amazing that some of the people who fly around on this castle have never laid their feet upon the ground and this flying castle never lands.
Girl Genius is truly adventurous mad science that will spark the imagination of any reader!
