Agatha Heterodyne and the Airship City

The second volume of Girl Genius recounts the first half of Agatha's adventures aboard the Castle Wulfenbach. Beginning with Agatha waking up in the student dorms and ending with her first hearing Krosp speak, Agatha Heterodyne and the Airship City introduces the Wulfenbach students, the contruct nanny Von Pinn, Gil's manservant Ardsley Wooster, the pitiful Dr. Dim, the portentius Mr. Rovainen, and the amusing (and annoying) Othar Tryggvassen, Gentleman Adventurer, among others. While the main "plot" of Airship City concerns Agatha's unwilling involvement in Moloch von Zinzer's deception, there are also many further hints of her still re-emerging sparkiness and her still hidden identity as the Heterodyne Heir. It is in Airship City that Agatha first begins to interact with Gil. They don't get along particularly well at this point, but give it some time...

We also get to see much more of the Jaegrmonsters in this volume, which is definetely a good thing.
