If you've never heard of Girl Genius, it's a "gaslamp fantasy" (read: Steampunk) comic set in an alternate history Europe in the 19th century. Mad scientists called "Sparks" dot the countryside, building fantastic mechanical and biological creations.

Anyway, when they made the leap from printed comic to webcomic, they started two seperate parts. One that would update with the new comic and one that would slowly post the old comic on the web. The two stories have finally met, so there is a whole lot to read now.

I suggest you all give it a look.

Nearly 2 hours later, I need to stop reading and go to bed.

I still have the better part of 3 years of that to read, I hate you. Pretty interesting story though.

Is there an archive I can download to read on a PDA that doesn't have web access? That'd be sweet.

While they were upgrading their scripts, they had unprotected the directory that had all the image files. I should have downloaded them when I had the chance, because they've reprotected the directory.

Nah, that's cool. I don't want to take files that aren't supposed to be available to me. I'll read it online, when I can. Seems like a great comic so far.

You brought this on yourself. Consider this, though. You have every comic book ever written since the 1940s or whatever. Superman, Batman, etc. The classics. Imagine all the kids who had to wait for those! Some of them are probably dead, even, so you're better off than them in at least two ways.

And they don't lie about it either, they actually do update that often, unlike some webcomics (*cough* The Broken Mirror *cough*).

I tried starting on this comic twice, but somehow it was always confused and strange, maybe because of that whole business they're done with now, dunno. Tried a third time and got through the archives pretty quick. A nice addition to my collection.
