What are some good space opera comics or animated films? Something visually impressive and exciting like the GOTG films or Star wars.

my favorite genre! I’m not going to recommend anything Star Wars-related because it’s the one everybody knows.
Comics:
- Valerian and Laureline
- Terra, a webcomic
Animation:
- Heavy Metal 2000, isn’t as good as the original but it counts as space opera.
- Titan AE, underrated movie that was ahead of its time imo
Voltron Legendary Defender, despite the fandom focusing on shipping it’s a neat example of space opera
There’s comics and animation for both Mass Effect and Halo if you like either of those franchises.
Capeshit that falls under the space opera label includes Superman, legion of Superheroes, and Green Lantern.
As much as I love space opera there’s not a ton of it in comics or animation (unless you count superheroes); for whatever reason it’s more the realm of video games and novels.

Kirby's Fourth World and Lemire's Descender would fit the bill, too.
If you're open to some strangeness, check out Philippe Druillet's Loan Sloane

Thanks

Has anyone done a Watchmen /TDKR style prestige miniseries that is also a space opera?
Anthony Ross
Are there any comics with a Han Solo/ Starlord type lead?
Lucas Murphy
Dreadstar deserves a mention.
Luke Brown
Omega Men

Treasure Planet
Voltron has so many flaws that I cant suggest it to anyone despite the positives. You might as well watch literally almost any other Japanese space operas if you want a giant robot fix.
I recommend the Galaxy Express 999 movies too.

Wake. But fair warning, it's in French and our resident scanslationfag has fallen off the face of the earth.
Asher Lee
Love that film!
Thanks.

I thought "space opera" meant that it had singing until I was 20 years old
Eli Peterson
SkyDoll's another one that some might classify as space opera (more than one planet at least), there's dancing, can't recall whether there's any singing
Dylan Campbell
Space Opera just means space adventure/ fantasy as opposed to hard scifi
Gavin Ortiz
That agrees with en.wikipedia.org
>Space opera is a subgenre of science fiction that emphasizes space warfare, melodramatic adventure, interplanetary battles, chivalric romance, and risk-taking. Set mainly or entirely in outer space, it usually involves conflict between opponents possessing advanced abilities, futuristic weapons, and other sophisticated technology.
