Noth\u00ading that has any\u00adthing to do with hyp\u00adno\u00adsis (although the sto\u00adry\u00adline does involve a par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly nasty form of mind con\u00adtrol) but just a good read by some peo\u00adple I hap\u00adpen to know and rec\u00adom\u00admend. Phil Foglio<\/a> and Kaja Foglio<\/a>. Their artis\u00adtic cre\u00adden\u00adtials are impec\u00adca\u00adble and their art\u00adwork has appeared in such diverse places as \u201cDrag\u00adon Mag\u00ada\u00adzine\u201d<\/em> and on \u201cMag\u00adic: the Gath\u00ader\u00ading\u201d<\/em> cards, adap\u00adta\u00adtions of Robert Asprin\u2019s \u201cMythad\u00adven\u00adture\u201d<\/em> books, some very NSFW and very well done erot\u00adi\u00adca, and even sou\u00advenir con\u00adven\u00adtion plates: Phil is one of the few peo\u00adple I know who have won the Hugo Award both as a fan and a pro\u00adfes\u00adsion\u00adal artist and Kaja is equal\u00adly as good.<\/p>\n

\u201cGirl Genius\u201d<\/em><\/a> is their love and joy. If you haven\u2019t<\/em> been read\u00ading \u201cGirl Genius\u201d<\/em><\/a> online, you should. As one review\u00ader put it: its what Jules Verne would write if he wrote comics, and he\u2019d be jeal\u00adous. Its the sto\u00adry of Agatha Het\u00adero\u00addyne, heir to the famous Het\u00adero\u00addyne Boys Bill and Bar\u00adry, who cham\u00adpi\u00adoned Good and Right against the mad sci\u00aden\u00adtist \u201cSparks\u201d of the day, until the day they lost every\u00adthing in a vicious attack and lost them\u00adselves try\u00ading to deter\u00admine the cause. Its Steam\u00adpunk\u2122 at its finest, and \u201cGirl Genius\u201d<\/em> is one of the rea\u00adsons for the pop\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adi\u00adty of the genre.<\/p>\n

Agatha knew noth\u00ading of this. She was pro\u00adtect\u00aded (in more ways than one) from the harsh life that a Spark encoun\u00adters, until that life came look\u00ading for her. Through her adven\u00adtures she has matured from the help\u00adless, bum\u00adbling girl assis\u00adtant to some\u00adone who could become the Het\u00adero\u00addyne Heir of leg\u00adend. All she has to do is sur\u00advive pos\u00adses\u00adsion (by the mind of her moth\u00ader), the ire of Baron Wulfen\u00adbach (the past ally of the Het\u00adero\u00addyne Boys and ex-offi\u00adio<\/em> ruler of Europa), a cabal deter\u00admined to seize pow\u00ader by pro\u00admot\u00ading a fake Het\u00adero\u00addyne Heir, and the roman\u00adtic entan\u00adgle\u00adments of two strong Sparks, one the son of the Baron and the oth\u00ader the proph\u00ade\u00adsied ruler of Europa. Quite a chal\u00adlenge but Agatha is up to it. (And if you think Agatha looks remark\u00adably like Kaja, join the club.)<\/p>\n

But what is spe\u00adcial is that they are mov\u00ading away from comics direct\u00adly to writ\u00adten fic\u00adtion with the first Agatha Het\u00adero\u00addyne nov\u00adel, \u201cAgatha H. and the Air\u00adship City\u201d<\/em><\/a>. It will be pub\u00adlished in a cou\u00adple of weeks, and Phil is ask\u00ading peo\u00adple to hold off order\u00ading it until Jan\u00adu\u00adary 12th<\/sup> as that not only will cause a spike in the sales count, but its also Kaja\u2019s birth\u00adday. I know I will.<\/p>\n

You can get the col\u00adlect\u00aded vol\u00adumes, too: they\u2019re well worth the effort.<\/p>\n
