Chronology - Volume XII

Volume summary: Agatha Heterodyne and the Siege of Mechanicsburg

The chronology pages describe the comics to assist scholars in finding the page on which something occurred. For each page of the comic, the chronology pages identify the characters that appear, actions taken, significant quotes, and other things of interest. Page numbers from the website are zero padded to three digits and in parentheses, for example: (005), (061), (113). Page numbers from print volumes are neither, for example: 5, 61, 113. Section titles are from the canon unless otherwise noted.

For historical reasons, volumes 1 (I) through 13 (XIII) are usually identified with Roman numerals on the Girl Genius chronology pages and elsewhere in the wiki. From volume 14 on, the story entered a new "act" and the volume numbers started over, in Arabic numbers, proceeded by a "2-". For example, overall volume 15 is given as volume 2-2 on chronology pages.

For a partial timeline of the events in the comic, see Internal Chronology. For more information on the double-page spreads in this volume, see double-page spreads in Girl Genius. For more information on special pages in this volume, see the list of special pages, notes, and annotations.

Lord Selnikov, Boris

Lord Selnikov has a visitor. The visitor is very interested in the wasp that was made to enslave sparks. In particular, if one so enslaved could resist a direct command by The Other. (Mention of a goldfish.)

Boris: "What if he was already in a full-blown spark-induced fugue state?"
Selnikov: "Oh... Interesting. I... don't know."
