Re: Girl Genius XVI: The Wrath of Klaus
Maybe maybe not. Clankkrezia might have made it back to the castle wulfenbach with klaus. Remember we dont know HOW he got back or if he even came back alone, because the second gil and tarvek heard he was back they ran like their tails were on fire. We dont see klaus until WELL after his return after gil was knocked out and chained to a table.

Re: Girl Genius XVI: The Wrath of Klaus
There are hints both of them were out of Mechanicsburg before Klaus set them up, the bomb. While Martellus was talking with Seffie when she told him that the Knights were now working with Gil, Tweedle suggested using Lola to continue the fake Heterodyne Girl scenario. He wouldn't have said that unless he knew that, 2.5 years ago, Zola had gotten out of Mechanicsburg alive and well and should be available to be Pink again.
And during the siege of Mechanicsburg, we (and Gil) were told that a massive rouge force was on its way towards Mechanicsburg from Strumhalten, and that Empire forces sent to stop it were either being wiped out or joining. That strongly suggests someone was using the Voice, both to compel the Strumhalteners and assorted monsters to march towards Mechanicsburg, and to subvert the Empire forces. And the only two people who can use the Voice right now are Agatha... and 'Anevka'.
Our two not so favorite female villains are, I think, out and about, and probably causing trouble...

I'd say that it's a safe bet Clankcrezia is not in the bubble given comic #4.

This guy does facial expressions like he's spent the last decade watching Invader Zim on a constant loop. It's creeping me out.

Re: Girl Genius XVI: The Wrath of Klaus
It reads more like a parody of girl genius than anything.

Re: Girl Genius XVI: The Wrath of Klaus
Its probably because its a direct adaption of the radio play. The radio shows take themselves less seriously than the main comic and have a lot more humor, so calling them a "parody" of girl genius would not be too far off. I mean look at the weasel queen comics(which was also adapted from a radio play); those were full of the more senseless kind of humor that you don't see as much of in the main comic...
Though I will say that some of the humor might be lost. The humor of Zeetha barging in like that and announcing who she is, really all comes in the line delivery; what's funny is just hearing how pointlessly loud she is... Also you don't have to wait 3 days to hear the follow up line... its one of those things that is not as amusing in comic form.Last edited by slayerx; 2014-01-03 at 08:58 AM.

He draws Girl Genius like he does Spacetrawlers. I recognise that creepy smile.

They look kind of like inbred orcs. I'm not sure if that's intentional.

Re: Girl Genius XVI: The Wrath of Klaus
IIRC, the other side stories are a bit more silly than the main story as well, not just the Weasel Queen.
Aha. Found a link to the radio plays in question that actually leads to something. Not actually that easy to listen to.

Re: Girl Genius XVI: The Wrath of Klaus
How annoying. After all this time I still had Othar's Twitter on my RSS feed reader just in case it ever started up again. Then it finally does, and it turns out the feed no longer works.

Re: Girl Genius XVI: The Wrath of Klaus
Also because in a radio show, you have to have characters announce everything like giant hams (because otherwise listeners will have no idea what's going on.) When you do that in a comic, they come across as ridiculous parodies of themselves.
Like, in this page, Zeetha does this huge over-the-top speech to establish that she's Zeetha, because listeners have nothing else to associate that voice with her.Last edited by Aquillion; 2014-01-05 at 11:23 AM.

Re: Girl Genius XVI: The Wrath of Klaus
I must say, I am really disliking this filler story so far (yes, I know we are still very early in the story.) I understand that it is adapting one of their radio dramas but, as said above, so was the weasel queen story and I really liked that one.
It may have helped that that story actually had Othar in it. While in this story I felt that having Zeetha suddenly talk like Othar very odd and off-putting. Also, while I am not one to get hung up on art in comics (in fact this may be the very first time the artwork ever really bothered me) I find the character's faces to also be odd and very distracting (especially Krosp's).

Re: Girl Genius XVI: The Wrath of Klaus
One thing that bugs me... Dr. Bonefish's design. Googles, small glasses, wild hair, beard, rubber gloves, Lab coat, suit and tie underneth... its just so generic mad scientist; much too generic from what the foglios put together.

Re: Girl Genius XVI: The Wrath of Klaus
Well, I like it so far. It's overly goofy and melodramatic, and I LIKE overly goofy and melodramatic sometimes.
It's also pretty funny.
Also, since it's not part of the current storyline, I look at this as a "Heterodyne Story" being told by someone else, and of course a story will take on a whole new ..everything depending on the teller.
I'm predicting that the frog isn't giant sized, but the castle has instead shrunk.

Re: Girl Genius XVI: The Wrath of Klaus
That is how the Weasel Queen was framed as well, as a story being told within the GG universe by a third party about Agatha Heterodyne, Girl Genius! It's not necessarily a "true story" about Agatha, but it is a Foglio-written non-canon story, for fun. *gasp*
