Space epic comics?

So I have a question for all you comic fans out there: Who has one or more favorite space-based, epic-scale comic series? Ones that might be similar in scope or tone to Babylon 5? The Babylon 5 comic does not count for this. One of mine? Dynamo Joe. I have others, but want to see what other people say first.

I haven't found time for comics for a few years, but I used to be a big fan of Jim Starlin - Captain Marvel, Adam Warlock, Dreadstar, all equal in scope to B5. Not to mention, well written, and well drawn.
 
Yeah, I actually posted this question after re-reading my Dreadstar hardcover. I still love that series after 20 years, and another hardcover is supposed to be out soon. I noticed many similarities with B5 in just the first 12 issues, but then, Dreadstar has many similarities to Star Wars. I've also been re-reading my Robotech: The Sentinels series, which really sets itself apart from their other storylines. Dynamo Joe from First Comics was a really under-appreciated series, very imaginative. I've also gotten my Alien Legions out of storage, but haven't re-read those yet.

I'd love to see Crusade or Jeremiah continued in comic form, I think either one could be very cool. Some of the B5 comics tended to be kind of clunky, but there's no reason they couldn't be great.
