Rated T
The joy of this book is we get to see an all-new side of the character, all while retaining that charm. Additionally, the book never sacrifices his roguish behavior to bore us with inane bureaucracy jargon, making a worthy exploration into the compelling character that both feels true to his core values while also expanding his backstory.

Yet another great one-shot Star Wars story from Greg Pak. Be excited for Pak taking over Star Wars, as this and the other Age of Rebellion stories have proven he has a great handle on these cherished characters. Read Full Review
Like the best of the other installments of these one shot titles, this book continues to distill a quality standalone story, appealing art, and a beautifully presented and lettered book like a fine glass of well aged oak cask single malt whiskey (Irish of course). As much as I like long form story telling it is quite welcome to be reminded of the fact that the comic industry still has the ability to pack a punch for readers within the confines of a single issue.

Star Wars: Age of Rebellion " Lando Calrissian #1 is one of those great introductory comics. It's a self-contained snapshot of a familiar universe in comic form and you can tell that Pak and Buffagni had a lot of fun filling in some of the timeline. I'm intrigued where the rest of the collection will explore. Read Full Review
Greg Pak captures his voice pretty well here for this stage in his life and shows how he's handling problems as an administrator. Matteo Buffagni does a solid job in presenting the world while not having anything too radical to work with so it's engaging and has all the right feels. Read Full Review
This issue offers a perfect take on Lando himself. It's a very good showcase for his character. He's smooth and charming, a constant smile on his face. He hustles, wheels and deals. At the same time, writer Greg Pak highlights that every step of the way, Read Full Review
This isn't a bad comic but only die hard Star Wars completeists and Lando fans need bother. Read Full Review
A decent Lando outing is marred by the artwork. The story is a great take on a maturing scoundrel, but the visuals were practically unbearable. I'll give Marvel credit for trying new looks for the Star Wars books, but I really did not care for the art. At least this is only a one-shot. Read Full Review
Great issue that showcases some of Lando's heart. This story adds more meat to the decision he makes to betray Han Solo in favor of Cloud City, its a world that he's struggled to keep alive and he's refused to give it up. Lobot is a welcome addition to this book as well.
This is a good issue. Nothing memorable or breathtaking but adequate. A typical Star Wars story.
