What do you mean "4koma equivalent" of Genshiken? Are you referring to the otaku-related jokes regarding games and such?

Then again, (and though this might sound heretic) I still haven't watched Genshiken, so I wouldn't really know how to compare them. There are plenty of jokes about otakus here and there,

Spoiler:


but the manga has the general feel and joke punch style of Azumanga and other 4koma. It doesn't get to where AzuDai got, but it's still pretty enjoyable stuff if you like light-hearted comedy.
