Why are so many Image comics full of "WOAAH SEX AND GRATUITOUS VIOLENCE AND GORE" for seemingly no reason?

If you're talking about 90's Image Comics, it was because quality control took a backseat to an attempt to crank out at least twelve OCs per issue to get the trademarks on them.
If you mean current Image comics...fuck right off.

Invincible: Where superhumans get punched in half & raped.
Saga: Saga, where sexual issues are featured and there's currently a miscarriage/abortion plot running.
Sex Criminals: Criminals with time-stopping sex, and discussion of Matt Friction & Kelly Sue's various sexual issues.
Walking Dead: Zombies and cool anti-heroes bludgeoning people with barbwired bats.
That's a look at the main Image titles. Whether it's gratuitous or not is up for discussion.

I would hardly consider any of these "WOAAH SEX AND GRATUITOUS VILOLENCE AND GORE" when compared to the masterpieces that are Bloodstrike, Cyberpunx, Brigade, and Objective Five. Spend some time in the quarter bins actually reading stuff before you start talking like you know about something.

Didn't they publish a comic featuring Marty form Hard Blush? Wonder how much that would confuse a little kid picking that up.

Invincible is mostly standard filler and human drama, same for Saga, it's just that people post the extreme shit because that's what gets people talking.

no kid would pick up that issue or any of the other ones, kids aren't reading indie comics you dweeb

The only the fits "the WOAAH SEX AND GRATUITOUS VIOLENCE AND GORE" is the walking dead, and it makes sake considering the setting and is nowhere as edgy other similar comics like Crossed or even Marvel Zombies.
