I was flipping back through the thread and saw the jabs being thrown at Fatrick's choice of names for his characters, and it reminded me of a sci-fi webcomic called Schlock Mercenary. The saga follows an amorphous green alien joining a mercenary army, and all the adventures that follow. Schlock Mercenary has punny names like Fatrick's characters, but these names are actually clever. There's a character named John der Trihs ("Red Shirt" spelled backwards), the crew's chaplain is named Theo Fobius (a play on the word theophobia, or fear of God), Corporal Pibald (an explosives expert, and as irrational as the number he's named after), martial artist Lt. Shodan (shodan being the lowest rank of black belt in Japanese martial arts)... you get the idea.
Comparing Fatrick to other sci-fi may seem ridiculous, but as I said, Schlock Mercenary is a webcomic (which updated daily for twenty years, from 2000-2020), and unlike Fatrick's work, it was nominated for a Hugo award for five story arcs in a row (arcs 9-13:
The Body Politic,
The Longshoreman of the Apocalypse,
Massively Parallel,
Force Multiplication, and
Random Access Memorabilia; yes, a webcomic has better titles for its story arcs than Fatrick does for his books.)
Also, like Fatrick,
the creator leans left while calling himself conservative. Unlike Fatrick, the creator still has his blue checkmark.
