Bespin’s lovable rogue is getting his own five-issue series from Marvel Comics in July.
Lando Calrissian will take centre stage in Lando, penned by Charles Soule and illustrated by Alex Maleev. The series will be the fifth launched in 2015 since the Star Wars franchise returned to Marvel after years at Dark Horse Comics.
Soule told starwars.com that the series takes place days before our introduction to Lando in The Empire Strikes Back, not in Episode IV as reported by another outlet.
“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,” Soule said. “But Lando’s got a plan to change all that… and it starts with the deal of a lifetime.”
The first issue will ship with two covers, the standard pencilled by Maleev and a variant drawn by Leinil Francis Yu.
