Star Wars: The Last Jedi - 10 Amazing Comics To Read While You Wait
7. Lando
Marvel Comics
Another Soule book this time, but one that's infinitely more welcoming to newer readers.
As a mini-series, fans curious about Lando won't have to worry about having missed key details in issues gone by. Also brilliant is the fact that it's a proper self-contained story, so once you read it, that's it finished; no need to stress over subsequent graphic novels, spin-offs, or anything of the sort.
Anyway, the book itself is fantastic, and features everyone's favourite smuggler (sorry Han) in his prime, before he got his hands on Cloud City. A scheme later and a robbery gone awry leads the character to a sticky situation, and - without spoiling anything - it turns out he's got his hands on a very important person's equally important cargo. It doesn't go well.
It's definitely one of the best Star Wars books out there, and provides the case for a Lando spin-off as well as anyone could, really.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
