Lando Calrissian risks it all in
Lando: Double or Nothing

Long before he became the suave
baron-administrator of Cloud City, and
even before he lost the Millennium
Falcon to Han Solo on a bet, Lando was
a galactic wild card in search of love
and money. This fi ve-part miniseries
from Marvel takes inspiration from
Donald Glover’s charismatic portrayal in
Solo: A Star Wars Story, telling the tale
of a young, confident, and impeccably

stylish Lando Calrissian.
Writer Rodney Barnes and artist
Paolo Villanelli depict a Lando who isn’t
about to stick his neck out for anyone—
not unless there’s a pile of credits
waiting for him on the other side. So
when Lando somehow fi nds himself

fighting on the same side as some
oppressed workers toiling in a droid
junkyard, it’s no surprise that he hopes
their liberation will come bundled with a
respectable payday.
Issue #1 of Lando: Double or Nothing
is available from May 30.
