What Be Your Nerd Type? Your Result: Science/Math Nerd   (Absolute Insane Laughter as you pour toxic chemicals into a foaming tub of death!) Well, maybe you aren't this extreme, but you're in league with the crazy scientists/mathmeticians of today. Very few people have the talent of math and science is something takes a lot of brains as well. Thank whosever God you worship, or don't worship, so thank no deity whatsoever in your case, for you people! Most of us would have died off without your help.

Girl Genius? What's that? If I've seen it on your list, it hasn't caught my eye yet. :)

MuahhahahahaHAAAAA! [mad scientist hand gestures]

It's not on my Flist because I don't really need the RSS feed, although there is one; just the fan comms are.

Start reading here; if you get obsessive and get to the end too fast, if you can wait only about... I think it'll be another two months-ish, the two parts of the story will be joined up — unless you don't mind kinda spoiling yourself for a big surprise not on-line yet.

See, when this story started on-line, it'd already been published in 13 print comic books; what the Foglios did, then, is continue the story on-line only (until they got to the end of a volume, then it went to print as well), and also started it over from the beginning, creating the '101 Class' and the 'Advanced Class', as if we were students at Transylvania Polygnostic University taking a history class.

101 covers Volumes 1-3 and part of 4; Advanced finishes 4 and has just begun Volume 7. 1-5 are in dead tree form, and 6 is being sent to the Chinese publisher right about now. There, more meta than you needed to know.

Now, as to why you'll probably like it: geek-girl hero, cute almost-redheaded love interest, a green-haired amazon, giant robots, bigger blimps, Jaegermonsters, travel, adventure, circuses, explosions, ray guns, and MAAAAAD SCIENCE!

Oh, and really good art. Phil's been drawing and being printed for decades. And it's inherently feminist (i.e., women are equals, especially on Castle Wulfenbach. Shocking concept, I know. *wink*).
