The other day I was in the Gamer's Hut and spotted a Star Wars comic for just $5, so I picked it up. Wish I'd seen the warning signs.
One, there were several copies. Two, it has the Marvel logo, not the Dark Horse logo. Also, I guess if it were vintage they'd have asked more for it.
Lando has a neat premise: Lando Calrissian and co. board a yacht, there to steal priceless artifacts. Little do they know, the yacht belongs to Emperor Palpatine and is guarded by his agents.
But you see, this is Disney we're talking about. Not only are there ads disrupting the story; it has the most trite conclusion possible. As Lobot dies in Lando's arms, overcome by his implants, a recording plays. This being Disney, of course it tells him to change his ways and join a larger cause. It doesn't say "the Rebellion," but we all know that's what it implies.
I wanted to learn more of Lando's exploits, maybe even his "little maneuver" that qualified him to lead the assault on Death Star 2. Or a heist with Han at his side, or how he and Han met. Something besides the standard "use your talents for good" spiel we already heard in Solo.
Guess it's time to start collecting EU novels.
