Dresden Codak

Finally been introduced to Dresden Codak. It's the ultimate geek comic. The way I see it, it's a steampunk adventure story that draws from a multitude of theories about the natural world (regardless of whether they have been proven or not) some of them rather fantastical, and weaves stories using these elements. It's like the comic I've been looking for for years. It's not all science fiction, although it does have an element of that, and it's not SF in the vein of Star Wars of Battlestar Galactica. It's much less bombastic and not as epic, and there's a lot more focus on the geek side of things. It takes all the new funky discoveries you might read in WIRED or Discover and integrates it into the world. It's awesomeness.

Aaron Diaz is Genius.

Precursor XKCD is like a simple blues band which set the stage for the full orchestra that is DK. (And both artists are making a living from their work!) That's encouraging.
