Girl Genius Comic for Wednesday, March 30, 2022
Added 2022-03-30 02:53:53 +0000 UTCPhil is getting ready to head to Wondercon in Anaheim this weekend! He'll be at booth 1405 where he'll have a lot of our new stuff for sale. Sadly, he will NOT have any of the brassy SCIENCE fobs, because we are already out of those until the re-order comes in. He'll have silvery ones though.
I will stay home and spend the time getting the last of the Australian (and a few other overseas) shipments packed, and finishing the last touches on the next Kickstarter campaign. I am now expecting it to go live sometime during the first week of April. I'm setting up some Early Bird Specials, so (as I know I've said here before) if you want to be notified when that campaign goes live, go to our Kickstarter pre-launch page and click the box.
Thanks, everyone! I've almost got Friday's page finished, so I should be back soon with that.

Safe travels for the Foglios =) And this can't end well for our rat queen....

2022-03-31 03:20:04 +0000 UTCI swear if Friday is just a full page of her standing in the flame and we have to wait for Monday for the outcome my anger share be swift and terrible! (and ineffectual) :(
2022-03-31 01:57:15 +0000 UTCI have a feeling she's skipped at *least* a step. I think if Agatha finds anything of her it'll be too little to resurrect and interrogate.

2022-03-30 22:38:08 +0000 UTCPartially, this looks a lot like what happened to Agatha in the great movement chamber. Floating in the air, hair doing big fun things, glowing eyes (Agatha's were yellow at the time, I just checked), looking into the infinite, etc. But no halo and no gigantic growth. Notably Lucrezia got the giant size and the halo without the effluvia. So I'm thinking the full queen process is something like halo/growth -> effluvia -> flame (with possible more steps along the way). I don't think this is going to go well for Monahan unless she can find a place to dissipate the energy.

2022-03-30 15:40:36 +0000 UTCFor what it's worth, Lucrezia in Londonium did something that spun up a halo first. I'm wondering if that's supposed to be the first step. Also, I don't think Agatha knows the jaeger process yet. I mean I'm sure Higgs could fill in some of the gaps but the full process is likely waiting for her in the Castle Heterodyne library.

2022-03-30 15:35:28 +0000 UTCLucrezia achieved the halo in the Londonium science dome with no effluvia. Monahan hasn't gotten the halo yet, which makes me think she may be at increased risk of exploding. Or, at least, she hasn't established a means of dissipating the power yet.

2022-03-30 09:20:44 +0000 UTCA jaeger with the spark sounds pretty dangerous to me. Maybe not as dangerous as a Queen, but a super-strong damage-resistant genius is still pretty formidable. (Most jaegers aren't very bright, but I suspect that's because most were reckless thugs to begin with.)
Dan Merget
2022-03-30 08:04:39 +0000 UTCWhat I'm thinking too... I'm suspecting that Agatha is going to find her, realize where she went wrong, and we end up with another female jaeger by the time everything is said and done.
2022-03-30 07:21:13 +0000 UTCI'm not sure why you say she hasn't gotten large; maybe she hadn't yet on the previous page, but there's nothing to judge by on this page. And the first panel's extreme closeup gives an impression of size. But I'm with you on the halo!

William Ansley
2022-03-30 03:34:52 +0000 UTCIt doesn't seem as if she's really ready to "anneal her power" yet. She doesn't have a halo at all. (Those diamond shapes are part of the flame.) She hasn't gotten large. Perhaps, at this point, the raw power of the flame will be too much for her.
William Ansley
2022-03-30 03:32:38 +0000 UTCHuh. Can't put my finger on it but I'm thinking she missed a step,....

2022-03-30 03:24:28 +0000 UTCOh, boy. She just loudly announced that she needs to step into the flame in order to become a Queen forever. She's just begging for a "you got me monologuing" ambush.

2022-03-30 03:02:47 +0000 UTCSafe travels and successful shipping! Very excited for the Kickstarter, will be there the moment I see the notification email (assuming I'm not in a car checking email on my phone or something, you know what I mean).
