Marvel's Star Wars Books Expand with Lando Mini-series

Marvel continues to expand their Star Wars universe as it was announced today that a new mini-series will be debuting featuring everyone's favorite Cloud City Administrator, Lando Calrissian.

The five issue mini-series will be written by Charles Soule and feature the art of Alex Maleev. It will be hitting stores in July and mark the 5th book for Marvel's new run, sitting on the shelves with STAR WARS, DARTH VADER, PRINCESS LEIA, and KANAN: THE LAST PADAWAN.

In this book, Lando is looking to steal the galaxy's most valuable ship, with Lobot by his side. Charles Soule had a bit about to say about the character in an interview with StarWars.com.

“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... 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.”

Here's two covers to check out for the upcoming series from Alex Maleev and Leinil Francis Yu.

LANDO hits stores this July.

I don't think anybody cares

I do, so your broad assumption is wrong.

@inferiorego: but Lando was lame.

Wow this seems cool. Can't wait.

Lando Calrissian >>>> Han Solo

Somewhat agreed. I wouldn't say Lame. Just that he's the guy I care least about when it comes to the Original Cast.

I'm so offended that I'm already crying about it on Twitter in hopes Buzzfeed picks up my tale for a clickbait article.

The truth of this post cannot be overstated.

Han became a wuss between Empire and Jedi. Lando became a war hero and a true baller, blowing up the Death Star while Han was playing with teddy bears.

Lando is as underrated as Boba Fett is overrated, which is to say, a whole bunch.

I cant wait

Just like Vader, Leia and Kanan. I will trade wait this. The main SW title is good enough for me.

Awesome.

This sounds amazing.

@inferiorego:

I'm buying the sh*t out of this. Lando is awesome.

R2D2 series or bust

You seriously made it to 2015 without realize that opinion is in the minority?

Lan is the man!

Lando is such a G, that he's almost an H.

Those Lando covers are boss!

I like lando and will pick this up! But where is the boba fett book!?!? I mean come on his bounty hunting adventures would be amazing!!!

I really like them just keeping 2 main titles and rotating mini series to spotlight different characters. Lando is awesome, can't wait for this one.

I can not fathom what's happening in this thread. I didn't even know Lando could have fanboys. This is weird.

Lando is rad.

I might get this

Pretty cool.

Art by Maleev? Sold. That's fantastic.

Cool. Lando could totally beat Shaft in a fight.

First impression - Not interested.

Second impression - Soule and Maleev! Count me in!

Damn straight

Nice

It's too bad that Lando won't appear in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
