May I present the Lady Heterodyne:

Or, at least, an alternate universe version thereof…

hmmm her and Reed Richards should have tea....

[bewareofgeek]

She makes better coffee. :)

She makes PERFECT coffee.

And she's banned from making it again.

Any sufficiently advanced science is indistinguishable from magic.

The inverse is also true, as Agatha also demonstrated.

Also, I LOVE this scene. One trope I always hate is the whole "Magic must beat magic, technology is inherently inferior to magic and wont even work in its presence" thing.

In other words, I would love to see Agatha meet Uncle from Jackie Chan adventures, then defeat Shendu with a High Powered Chi Gun cannon.

"I'm sorry, WHAT must defeat magic?"

*Wide eyed, mouth gaped open in shock.*

"Thought so."

Sometimes it's really a pity that a crossover can never happen, and people probably aren't likely to write fic for this one. Maybe one day I can commission some artist...

See also assorted Power Ranger shows, where technology and mystical forces work in harmony.

Oh, great. Last time I thought "this Foglio web comic looks interesting," I spent 4 hours on the site catching up. Looks like I shouldn't make any plans for tonight.

[crinos]

Ah yes, Webcomics, the great time vampire.

I spent the whole weekend re-reading it from start, as you can lose the detail in the story over time with 3 updates a week.
Must get around to buying the lot in collected format.

See also Ellis' Excalibur run, where sensitive imaging technology on Muir Island was able to record the moment that the magical Soulsword transferred (magically) from Illyana to Kitty.

Hurray for Girl Genius! I remember buying this back when it was an indie print comic - it's nice to get it free online now ^_^

Pretty much the maxim that Harry from Methods of Rationality lives by.
