Agatha Heterodyne and the Heirs of the Storm by Kaja Foglio (story), Phil Foglio (story & pencils), and Cheyenne Wright (colors) (Girl Genius vol. 9). 150 p.
This rollicking adventure series continues. As the Foglios put it, "Adventure! Romance! Mad science!" Agatha is a spark--what we would call a mad scientist. Her life is very complicated just now (this is volume 9, after all)--she's still stuck inside Castle Heterodyne, trying to repair its artificial mind so that she can control it, while making sure that an imposter and her group don't gain control first. And she's got to juggle Gil and Tarvek, both sparks who are wooing her (for political as well as personal reasons) and keep them all alive. Secret identities are revealed! Deathtraps are evaded! Agatha makes the imposter Zola cry!
Basically, I love everything about these books, but if I try to explain the plot further we'll be here all day. Ask me if you'd like to know more!
