Marvel Announces New Star Wars Lando Series

Marvel has announced the newest addition to their Star Wars comic book line, Lando, a new miniseries starring the roguish former leader of Cloud City from The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

The five-issue Lando series will be written by Charles Soule (Wolverines, Inhuman) and drawn by Alex Maleev (Daredevil, Moon Knight).

"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 Soule.

The series takes place before Lando became administrator of Cloud City. With Lobot at his side, Lando looks to steal one of the most valubale ships in the galaxy, but ends up in over his head.

"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 the galaxy. But Lando's got a plan to change all that…and it starts with the deal of a lifetime."

Lando #1 will ship this July.
