Oct 08, 2015If this series proves anything, it's that Marvel needs to give Soule an ongoing Star Wars project sooner rather than later. Read Full Review

Oct 08, 2015LANDO #5 doesn't possess the excitement or scope of the last issue, but it uses the good will generated by that issue to deliver a satisfying end. You hope, of course, that in a short series like this, it would come out of the gate with issue #1 as strong as it does in its fifth and final issue, but, really, I'm just glad it got there at all. LANDO may ultimately not be essential reading for fans of Star Wars, but none of us are worse for its existence. In fact, we may all just be a little bit better. Read Full Review

Oct 08, 2015Lando #5 marks the end of yet another character driven mini-series and if Marvel continue to produce the same level of quality on the series' that follow I'm sure more and more Star Wars fans will find themselves shifting to this expanded part of the galaxy far, far away. So make sure to pick this up from you local comic book store, as it comes highly recommended. Read Full Review

Oct 08, 2015The finale for Lando ties a lot of things up and mostly provides some good closure. There are areas that one would like to explore more to be sure, but this series really did a great job of expanding our understanding of how your average folks view the Empire, Jedi myths and more. Soule and Maleev really bring Lando to life here and infuse him with what Billy Dee Williams did with him in the films. The result is a book that feels far more connected than most of the others do simply because of that personality. I don't truly hear the voices of the other actors in these books. I thoroughly enjoyed this series issue by issue and I imagine those that read it all in one sitting will find it to be an even better read. Great stuff that has me hoping this creative team gets another stab at the character in the future. Read Full Review

Oct 17, 2015Though the ending didn't stick for me I will miss reading Lando. As a first toe dipped into the ocean that is Star Wars tie ins it was most satisfying. Read Full Review

Oct 12, 2015"Lando" #5 puts Lando Calrissian and Lobot in position for their eventual journey to Bespin but leaves much of that journey untold. Put into perspective, this five-issue tale provides a bit of character growth for the eventual Cloud City Administrator, but the true character development falls upon the shoulders of Lando's right-hand man Lobot. Soule already has more "Star Wars" work lined up, but I'm much more interested in the next set of developments for Lando and Lobot than I would be to re-read this story. At the end of "Lando" #5, the arc of the character's adventures truly seems like it could have been shorter but much more dynamic. Hopefully, the next arc of Lando Calrissian's adventures will make some adjustments and bring a bit more punch, in both story measure and artistic rendering. Read Full Review

Oct 13, 2015I couldn't recommend this to the hardest of hard core fans. This issue was a disappointment, as was this entire arc. Unnecessary and visually disappointing. Look elsewhere for Star Wars stories. Read Full Review

Impressive ending to this series, what a nailbiter! At the same time, it's emotional and ties into Star Wars continuity. If you were on the fence about this series, I assure you it is worth continuing to the final issue.
