The smoothest man in the galaxy is back in his own comic book series.
Lucasfilm and Marvel announced Lando Calrissian will star in a limited series by Charles Soule (Death of Wolverine, Uncanny Inhumans) and Alex Maleev (Daredevil) coming in July.
“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,” writer Soule told StarWars.com.
The story is set in the days before he became a hero. With Lobot at his side Lando plots to steal the galaxy’s most valuable ships.
“Before Cloud City, before his glorious Death Star run,” continues Soule, “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 in the galaxy. But Lando’s got a plan to change all that… and it starts with the deal of a lifetime.”
Lando #1 arrives in July.
Marvel is currently publishing Star Wars by Jason Aaron (with incoming new artist Stuart Immonen) and Darth Vader by Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca and a Princess Leia limited series by Mark Waid and Terry Dodson.
