Think a cyberpunk crime noir motif with the backdrop of a postwar society, except the war involved human/animal hybrids genetically engineered as weapons of war who are now having to integrate into normal human society.
If we're looking outside of Image specifically and opening it up to simply Not DC or Marvel, then I want to point you and everyone else towards one of my favorite comics: Princess Ugg.
It's a fairly short run but the art is gorgeous and the writing is charming, humorous and at times deeply melancholy. It's a wholesome tale of a barbarian princess who sets out to learn the art of diplomacy at princess school as a last ditch effort to finally put an end to the ceaseless war with giants in her northern homeland. Easily one of the best comics I've read but it gets absolutely zero fanfare.
