Lando steps in, fully equipped with body armor and a combat baton, taking out each alien to stop the bullying. He finds a group of not-so-nice looking aliens taunting a small creature, with Bondeeni offering a reward to the first one who kills it. Lando suits up and heads into the facility. The washed out pastels really bring me back to the cover of those old Legends The Lando Calrissian Adventures. I love the art by Matteo Buffagni and colorist Tamra Bonvillain.

All Roz wants Lando to do is give the nephew a good scare. The two of them travel aboard Roz’s ship to the Fantanine Mining Colony, where Roz highlights Bondeeni is actually his incompetent nephew that just won’t leave the mining facility he’s been tasked with.

Lando says he’s not an assassin, but Roz assures him he wants the Calrissian charm, not the muscle. The exalted Roz, we’ll just call him that, is well known as one of the wealthiest beings in the galaxy and offers Lando a small fortune to help him remove an administrator named Bondeeni. The stranger introduces himself as Magnate Imperium Roz Fantanine (say that five times, fast). When he loses his shirt, a stranger approaches him about a job. Lando heads to an Outer Rim casino on a planet called Burnin Konn. Lando goes to collect an old debt, but it’s not going to be enough, so the administrator has to look to his inner-scoundrel to get the job done. Lando is also down about the fact he dipped into his nest egg and things get worse when he receives a notification the next round of payroll is due in thirty-six hours. As the workers indulge, Lando and Lobot lament the cyborg’s condition, with the old smoothie promising his friend one day he’ll find a fix (See the first Lando series by Charles Soule for Lobot’s story). The workers demand their bonus pay but Lando is paying it out of his own pocket, leading us to believe the coffers of Cloud City are empty. I gather this takes place fairly early on in Lando’s tenure of administrator for the Tibanna gas mining colony. I think Lando fans will really enjoy this issue, so let’s get to it. This story brought me back to both earlier Marvel Lando titles, as well as the performances Billy Dee Williams and Donald Glover contributed to the character.

The charming rogue faces some very real problems of administrating a city, balancing a budget, and realizing if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Age of Rebellion continues this week with Lando Calrissian in “Cloud City Blues”.
