Girl Genius 2

Yeah, so it has been while for this. I know that this isn’t one of the main series, but I do feel bad for leaving it in the middle of the book or however this series is structured. So I decided to at least finish the first book here since I have time.

Last we left, Agatha got kicked out after her maybe uncle went nuts for no reason and ended up killing himself to the dismay of exactly one (1) person while everyone else went “meh”. Now she is going home with the help of werewolf man.

ANNOUNCEMENT!

So y’all, seeing how my sublte posts before hasn’t really gone well, I have decided to make a post about it directly.

Please Don’t Message Me On This Blog.

This is a safety measure for me, to make sure that I give you guys my honest reactions here, so I won’t be spoiled for future events.

While I do appreciate you guys wanting to talk to me about the stuff that I have done, every time I get a tumblr message on this blog it makes me a little anxious because I don’t know if it is safe enough for me to open or not. And I need to open it otherwise the notification won’t go away and I would think I have messages from my other blogs.

If you want to shoot the shit, have fun, and talk about random ideas, please use my DISCORD. We have a bunch of cool people there and we would love to have you there. There are plenty of channels for you to hang out in, even spoiler ones where I don’t go in so you can talk about your secret secrets there.

(even a betting pool if you guys are interested, just saying)

If you have an question or idea that you want me to answer on the blog, please you my ASK-BLOG where my screener will make sure I get all of your asks (and I have been answering them as promptly as I can so I will get to them). They will send me the asks to answer here, to make sure I won’t get spoiled whether on purpose or on accident.

Please, this is just a safety measure that I have for me. All I ask is for you guys to respect that. Just click on the bold words and you will be taken to the right spots.

Girl Genius 1 End

Huh, it looks like that there were chapters here this entire time. And I thought this was ALL the prologue. (it could be, who knows). Well, I’ll just keep the Prologue tag as Vol 1 and leave it at that (for now I guess).

Overall view: It took a while for me to get into it. I like the setting, the weird things that happen in the background. The robot designs like instead of a prosthetic leg a guy has a spider crawler. Mutant people are the norm (wolf man, multiple hands). And I still don’t know about the glass jars of death. All of that is pretty interesting to see what this world is like.

But the characters? I don’t think there is any that really pulls me. Most of the scientists were crazy (RIP beetle you nut), the soldiers weren’t likable (but they were intentionally trash) I ended up rooting for what I assume to be the villains of the series, or at least a Pretty Bad Guy like Baron here. Agatha is the protagonist, but I am more curious about why she gets these headaches than who she is as a person.
I like what they were going for with the headache=color thing. When see
feels emotion she gets colorful, but the headaches suppress that. That
is interesting.

But all I got from her was that she was a klutz student who everyone seems to take advantage of, but then the focus shifted to villain inspection day and the downfall of the university’s scientists.

And the art…isn’t really my thing. It took a while to get use to, but the way some of the faces and bodies are drawn, it doesn’t look right. Like the eye alignment is off or a body part shouldn’t be where it was at. My guess is sense this comic started in 2002 (holy shit that was a long time go) the art is going to get better after 17 years worth. And lord knows that I can’t draw the same. But it is more or less the setting/questions the plot has that is attracting me to this series, and not necessarily the art itself.

Hm…so he is keeping up pretense that Beetle was a good guy for the masses to keep his own control, all the while threatening his subordinate in becoming a experiment monster. Good to know he has his priorities in order
