Enjoy! ( )

This is a five-part mini-series (now graphic trade) starring that charming scoundrel fans first met in The Empire Strikes Back—Lando Calrissian.

Marvel’s Lando series is set prior to the events of Episode V. The story begins with Lando having seduced a female Imperial Governor into giving him a precious item that he uses to pay off some old debts—sound familiar? But when he returns to Papa Toren, the creature to whom he was indebted, only a portion of his debt is exonerated. This forces Lando’s hand. To clear the debt, he and his band of smugglers must steal a ship from an Imperial shipyard. Yet, only after seizing the ship do they realize the cargo; this cruiser is personally owned by the Emperor and there are sensitive Sith related items on board.

Lando is full of mystery, action, and intrigue. Perfect for Star Wars fans. ( )

Best . Star Wars. Fiction. EVER.

I expected little but was completely blown away. This book makes you realize that Han is nothing compared to Lando. ( )

Spring 2020 (Live Read):

Also, accidentally read this one in the batch of comics marked for 'between Trilogy 1 and Trilogy 2,' but it's our original Lando, and not the [b:Solo: A Star Wars Story|40219589|Solo A Star Wars Story (Star Wars Novelizations, #3.25)|Mur Lafferty|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1532138289l/40219589._SY75_.jpg|62456084] one, and thus I was out of place and I only really figured it out when I slide into [b:Star Wars: Lando - Double or Nothing|39668119|Star Wars Lando - Double or Nothing|Rodney Barnes|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1542536391l/39668119._SY75_.jpg|61251279] right after it.

Playyyyaaa. || That is not going to go well for you. || Inconstant art is a problem. || And somehow you took down the whole Crimson guard. uh huh. || I love our smooth talker, but I don't love his art or story. ( )

The story is a quick, breezy heist of the "one last job" variety, where confident plans suddenly go awry. It's fun to see the second rogue of the Star Wars universe do daring tricks and play the odds. Shame it's only 5 issues, I would've liked to read more. ( )
