One webcomic I’ve been following, A Miracle of Science by Jon Kilgannon and Mark Sachs, is not such a webcomic. They set out to tell a single story, they did it well, and now it’s over. And there’s one less webcomic for me to read. (Fortunately, Jon and Mark are planning a new comic.)

If you haven’t read A Miracle of Science, I recommend it. It’s a nice sci-fi story. The authors call it “a romantic comedy revolving around an unlikely pair of police officers and an even more unlikely criminal, set in [a] world of Science Gone Mad.” I could give you a big long essay about why it’s awesome, but I’m lazy so instead I’ll just quote the line of dialogue that sold me on the comic:

“When you’re a recovering mad scientist, you’re always afraid you’ll lose control and wake up some morning with a half-built time machine in the living room and a plan to go back in time to pants Hitler.”

If that intrigues you, go ahead and start at the beginning…
