Now that Girl Genius is really picking up steam, it reminds me a lot of the old-fashioned serials that used to run before movies; in each new episode, we get a bit of resolution from the previous installment, but just when you think things couldn't get worse, they do.
The Foglios have cleverly left Agatha as much in the dark as the reader, though, so as each new surprise is unleased upon the readers, you're able to empathize with poor Agatha as she puzzles through it as well.
Girl Genius is published quarterly by Airship Comics (a branch of Studio Foglio); there's also a collection of the first three issues (in fl and white—like Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz", things shift to color as Agatha's world expands and changes forever) also available at Mars Import.

If everyone was a genius who claims to be we'd have cured cancer and discovered a penis-enlarging drug by now.
As far as genius-level IQ goes, I've said it before and I'll say it again: "Genius level" IQ is NOT the same thing as being a "genius." The word has undergone quite a transformation since the stanford-benet scale was popularized.

 Comic Book Resources - CBR News: Getting Smarter: Phil Foglio talks “Girl Genius”
“Girl Genius” was the first comics to move from printing individual issues to serializing on the web, so you can read the whole series for free, if you like.
New issues are put out three times a week, and the original printed issues are available for reading as well, making “Girl Genius” about as easy to catch up on as you could ask for.
Several other comics, notably Carla Speed McNeil’s “Finder,” have followed suit, but “Girl Genius” is the gold standard for the print to net move, and the series’ results have, as Foglio said, far exceeded their expectations.

So for Girl Genius think of an 18th Century (possibly early 19th) post-feudal Europe where each major house/family throws up at least one powerful spark per generation.
The creators have revealed that the epic storyline will be broken into various chapters and it is obvious the first will be about the flowering of Agatha's talent and her awakening from timid innocent girl into full-blown adventuress.
One of the delights of the serries is, in knowing that Agatha will become one of the brightest sparks of her generation, we can watch for the hints of what's to come.

 Collector Times Online - GIRL GENIUS IS BACK! - July 2002   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Girl Genius is not the best comic I have ever read, but it’s certainly one of the most consistently funny and entertaining series I’ve ever read.
My one complaint with this issue (ok, other than the lack of the usual amusing essay) is that the art seems very awkward, with people posed not quite right and proportion a bit off.
I look forward to watching the story in Girl Genius unfold on a regular basis now, especially after playing the "The Works" card game (yes, now two reviews in one!).

 Girl Genius Review
Girl Genius: The Works is a reworking of the earlier, collectible, R-rated card game Xxxenophile.
It's essentially the same game although there have been some simplifications and you get all 108 cards in the one box, no collecting.
While the mechanics are very similar the theme has been modified to depict characters and objects from Phil Foglio's Girl Genius series of comic books.

Since the world of Girl Genius generates strange, twisted characters, you may take up to 100 points of Disadvantages and 10 points of Quirks.
Glasses exist in the Girl Genius universe, as well as more exotic forms of repairing eyesight, but some people's eyes are just to strange to be helped that way.
A Girl Genius world has so much mechanical gadgetry that a single "Engineering" skill is too broad to cover it.
