Marvel announces new Lando Calrissian Star Wars comic book miniseries

April 17, 2015 by Gary Collinson

Wow, it’s shaping up to be a huge few days for Star Wars news. We’ve seen the second trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, we’ve had a reveal trailer for Star Wars Battlefront, and now comes word from Marvel comics about a new five-issue miniseries centred around the galaxy’s smoothest gambler, entrepreneur, and smuggler, Lando Calrissian!

“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,” says Charles Soule, who will write the series, with Alex Maleev providing the artwork. “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.”

Before he joined the rebellion, before he oversaw mining operations on Bespin – he was just Lando. Making his way in the galaxy and getting by on good looks, charm, and an ace up his sleeve (sometimes literally). With his cyborg aide Lobot at his side, Lando has plans to steal one of the galaxy’s most valuable ships. Yet even with his swindles and unparalleled swagger – has he bitten off more than he can chew?

Created in close partnership with Lucasfilm, this new Marvel Comics limited series will exist as part of the canon for the Star Wars universe! Once again, Marvel brings the biggest creators in the industry to the biggest characters in a galaxy far, far away. Be there when the Star Wars line expands this July in LANDO #1!
