In addition to the regular Star Wars title, they've added series focusing on individual characters.
But instead of using the top two characters - Luke Skywalker and Han Solo - they're focusing on Princess Leia, Darth Vader, and now the scoundrel(-ish) Lando Calrissian.
That character, as played by Billy Dee Williams, turned up in the film The Empire Strikes Back - he was an old friend of Han's, and something of a scoundrel and a smooth operator.
For his new title, we catch him as he's trying to find his way out of a debt he owns to a deadly criminal.
So he sets out on a plan for a big score that will solve his problems - but there are some key facts about the score he's not aware of.
It's a clever story by Charles Soule with some solid twists and turns, and terrific art by Alex Maleev and Paul Mounts.
I think this series takes place before Lando meets the rest of our heroes (in the second film), and it's a smart look at a terrific character.
So far, it's well worth following!
Grade: A-
