Good comic

[bladespark]

I'm a little bored, and while sewing I'm reading through the archives of Girl Genius for about the... fourth time, I think? Something like that. It's really good, so I figured I should share. It does start out a little on the slow side, and also on the weird side, as it just dives straight into the story, without bothering to explain anything. But it all becomes clear as you go along, and the further it goes, the better it gets. (And in my opinion, the better the art gets too. The first chapter is black and white, but they get a colorist by the time the second chapter starts, and then appear to upgrade to a better one at some point, which helps, but all the little layout and design stuff just keeps going from awesome to even more awesome, the further it goes.) I fully intend to buy the entire set of books in print form someday, but for now I enjoy reading the comic on line. It updates religiously, the artist is a complete professional in every sense of the word, so there's none of the Piro-esque flailing about, when it's time for a new comic, a new comic is there. I suspect, given the layout and pacing of the story, that he actually draws them quite a long while in advance.

It's pretty much the best steampunk story I've ever read, so for any of you out there who don't read it all ready, go, check it out!
