I'm going to recommend Ghost Junk Sickness!
This is a beautiful traditionally drawn comic, reminiscent of 2000s manga, full of action, adventure, and a wide cast of wonderfully written characters. It's lengthy (over 1000 pages at the time of reading this) but I will recommend it to anyone who listens, because it is fun and heartfelt story that I think everyone will enjoy
From the Website:
Trigger Elliot is a bounty hunter who travels around the galaxy with his not-so-fully-licensed-and-technically-illegal-hunting-partner Vahn Gavotte. They’re lousy at what they do and often resort to petty tactics just to get a bounty, this is their life.
Their home planet, June 7, is a world rebuilding itself from an inexplicable catastrophic phenomenon that destroyed 75% of the planet’s surface. It has been 5 years since the destruction of June 7 and the planet now thrives on the transient and growing population of bounty hunters. Trigger and Vahn’s routine changes when a ambiguous huge bounty surfaces; an alleged bounty hunter killer named the ‘ghost’ with frightening abilities and an unknown motive. When Trigger’s past catches up with him, there begins a strain on his and Vahns hunting dynamic, forcing them to become further involved in chasing the elusive and unpredictable ghost.

Adael speaks to Barame on the balcony.
Adael: A gang?
Barame: Yeah, don't mess with them. It's more trouble than it's worth.
Adael's hair is now much shorter and tidier. He looks very happy.
Barame (off panel): There! Looking sharp!
Barame runs a hand through Adael's hair, forcing his fringe up. They are both smiling.
Barame: But if you wanted-- you could scab some of Losay's gel and slick your hair up like this.
Adael laughs and runs a hand through his hair. Barame is looking at his phone.
Adael: Haha no it's all good. Thanks for that-- I finally feel like myself again.
Barame (to himself): Hmm... She still hasn't replied.
