Girl Genius Webcomic Now in Hardcover!
The Eagle, Eisner, and multiple Hugo Award-winning webcomic GIRL GENIUS will be released by Tor as a series of hardcover omnibuses (er, omnibi?) starting this month with Volume One: AGATHA AWAKENS!
The Industrial Revolution has become all-out war! Mad Scientists, gifted with the Spark of genius, unleash insane inventions on an unprepared Europe. For centuries, a family of inventors kept the peace, but the last of them disappeared leaving Baron Klaus Wulfenbach to maintain order.
When university student Agatha Clay shows signs of having the Spark in a spectacular, destructive fashion, she captures the attention of the Baron—and the Baron’s handsome young son, Gilgamesh.
Agatha soon finds herself in the midst of the greatest minds of her generation, as well as palace intrigue, dashing heroes, and an imperial cat. She may be the most brilliant mind of her generation and the key to peace in Europe, but first, she has to survive.
Back in 2003, School Library Journal included Girl Genius in their Best Adult Books for High School Students and called it, "A sly and witty graphic novel."

Monday Fun Day! (10/3/2011 Edition)
Welcome to October, you crazy librarians!
We have a lot on our plates this week, so let's kick things off with a quick round-up.
- We're huge fans of the Library Love Fest ladies, so the picture they posted of class act Kayleigh George dressed up as as Jackie O with JACKIE AS EDITOR slayed us!
- Urban fantasy writer Carrie Vaughn was interviewed at Bubonicon about KITTY'S GREATEST HITS, the Wild Cards series, and more. Watch all four videos here at MTV.com.
- If you're still trying to get a handle on what to recommend for steampunk, you might be interested in this discussion at Tor.com with Barnes & Noble SFF buyer, Jim Killen:
"Each month on Tor.com, Mr. Killen curates a list of science fiction & fantasy titles, which our contributors then discuss and explore."
In October, Mr. Killen and the Tor.com-ers will be discussing steampunk. See their schedule here.
