Marvel has revealed their next all new Star Wars comic book titled Lando, staring Lando Calrissian of Episode V fame. It will be a four part miniseries written by Charles Soule, with art by Alex Maleev.
In an interview with Starwars.com, this is some of what Soule had to say regarding the new series:
“Is Lando Calrissian the coolest character in all of Star Wars? Depends on who you ask, probably. But if you ask me, the answer is yes, and I plan to prove it with this story,” Soule told the site. “Before Cloud City, before his glorious Death Star run, Lando Calrissian was just a man trying to make his way through an uncaring universe determined not to recognize that he was undeniably the coolest man in the galaxy. But Lando’s got a plan to change all that… and it starts with the deal of a lifetime.”
The miniseries takes place before Episode V and will be about Lando trying to steal the galaxy’s most valuable ship with the help of his companion Lobot.
“Before Cloud City, before his glorious Death Star run. Lando Calrissian was just a man trying to make his way through an uncaring universe determined not to recognize that he was undeniably the coolest man in the galaxy. But Lando’s got a plan to change all that… and it starts with the deal of a lifetime.”
Lando will join Marvel’s growing list of new and original Star Wars comics which also includes Star Wars, Darth Vader, Princess Leia, and Kanan: The Last Padawan. You can pick up a copy of Lando #1 in July 2015.
