What is Schlock Mercenary

”Schlock Mercenary” is a webcomic by artist and author Howard Tayler. Mr. Tayler has been entertaining his audience daily since June 12, 2000 both online and with the ten (as of summer 2014) print volumes. The comic follows the title character a “carbosilicate amorph” named Schlock and his compatriots in the mercenary company “Tagon's Toughs” through their late thirty-first century adventures across the galaxy. One might expect that a comic about a group who's charter includes the line, “Travel the galaxy, meet fascinating life forms, and kill them.” To be a gritty tale about the life of a science fiction soldier. While Tayler manages to give his ongoing saga a fair amount of grit he leavens it with daily doses of humor. Indeed Tayler's talent for creating a self consistent science fiction universe that handles serious subject matter and still deliver a punchline is sometimes little short of amazing.
