Space Opera, Harem Manga, Image Comics

[Sans Simian]

What exactly makes a series a space opera?

From Wiki:

Space opera is a subgenre of science fiction that often emphasizes romantic, often melodramatic adventure, set mainly or entirely in outer space, usually involving conflict between opponents possessing advanced abilities, weapons, and other technology.

Or as a shortcut, Star Trek.

but again, if I hypothetically published a Harem Manga with Image Comics, that would be the first time in Image Comics history, right?

Can't argue with that.

[AlienSyfy]

by the way, did any other Image artists or writers ever hit a creative slump?

[Dark-Flux]

I believe so.

Nah, id say Saga fits the bill. And im sure theyd be some others.

[AlienSyfy]

Saga doesn't exactly go out of it's way to show that it's Harem Manga, does it?

[Dark-Flux]

Its a space opera is what i meant. Misread the post.

Image dont publish manga andnever have iirc.
Closest would probably be something like King City.

[AlienSyfy]

Image Comics publishes plenty of Space Opera, but has NEVER done Harem Manga, I get the picture.

While trying to stay on topic: the project I'm doing is All of the above.

and someone should create a Forum for creators aspiring for Image Comics.

CBR has a board for aspiring writer/artist showcases.

I'm aware of that, but if it's okay, and can agree to stay on topic with Space Opera from Image Comics.

technically, Saga is more like Space Fantasy

Saga isn't a harem story, but it is the most sexually charged comic from Image. Huge full page and double page spreads of aliens or robots in sexually compromising situations. A character named The Will shags spiders and seems to be forming a mild harem with a hot black chick (who is also part of a love triangle with the main characters) and a little girl who was broken out of a child molestation camp or something similar. And the two main characters are probably the best romantic plot in any currently publishing Image comic. If you want to know how far Image has taken Space Opera and sexuality in their comics, Saga is the one to read. Space antics and romantic soap opera everywhere.
