Mad science webcomic Girl Genius has launched an accelerated Kickstarter to generate funds for a print run for a paper edition of “Girl Genius Volume 12” – this volume will actually run 192 pages rather than the usual 120 pages, and the Foglios plan on printing 9,000 copies due to how quickly they ran out of a previous print run. As of their first day, they’ve already reached over 23K dollars, nearly half of their minimum goal of 55K dollars. In addition, if and when they reach other monetary goals, other volumes will be reprinted as well, and Girl Genius medals will be cast as well for supporters. And to be honest? Of all the Kickstarters I’ve mentioned here in the News section… this is the one I want most to reach its final goal. Hey, if Order of the Stick can get a million dollars over Kickstarter, then Girl Genius can garner 220K dollars. (As a brief aside, I must admit to being amused by the “Tea Party” offer for a patron who bids 10K dollars. Having met Kaja Foglio, I must admit I could see her coming with tea and cakes. And a nice hat. ^^)
