Wait, it's not that?
Actually, reading a bit more about it, I'm getting strong Valerian vibes, and that's not a good thing.

It's well worth reading. Absolutely beautiful art, quite minimalist, very European, very often imitated.
The sequels, prequels, and spinoffs are also very good.
Definitely not Hard SF though. Lots of 'love conquers all' and other dei ex machina.
Do you mean Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets? I've not seen it, but skimming over the imdb page it looks like its the 23,000,000th Incal ripoff. See also Final Space.

So the 1960’s-published Valerian ripped off The Incal, first published in 1980 did it?
