After spending some time reading Girl-Genius web-comic I was convinced to buy the book.
I've ordered what I think is the first book in my local bookstore (yay local) and it seems to relate to the first one or two years of of web content, but I can't be sure.
My question is: "how does the book series line up with the Web comic?" Does it contain specific episodes/adventures, relate to strips from a specific time-span or is it simply an assortment of episodes?
UPDATE:
They are amazing. It is interplanetary war in the introduction!!!! Yes!
Answer
The webcomic breaks itself up into volumes, each covering roughly 120 pages or around a year of the comic. Each volume usually moves the story forward multiple times, but the breaks between bigger parts of the story tends to follow every 3rd volume.
The novelizations so far follow the "major break" pattern:
- Agatha H and the Airship City covers Volumes 1 thru 3
- Agatha H and the Clockwork Princess covers Volumes 4 thru 6
- Agatha H and the Voice of the Castle extends the pattern a bit to end on a different cliffhanger than Volume 9 does, so it's 7 thru 9 with a chunk o' ten
The next major break in the plot would probably be the end of Volume 13 (also considered end of Act One of the webcomic series - only the Foglios could consider years of webcomics to be "got started") so when they continue the novels, I would expect that to be the next endpoint.
