Lando Calrissian, Tomar-Re and The Silver Surfer

 

The Mandalorian and Grogu is struggling at the box office.  I really liked the first two seasons of the Disney+ series and I thought Andor was great - but there have also been a lot of missteps since Lucas sold the company.  I'm not sure what could be done with the Star Wars franchise to turn things around at this point. If you put me in charge, I'd probably set up a scenario like the one above, so what do I know?

Lando Calrissian and The Phantom

 

The Phantom identity has been passed down through time, so who's to say just how far back it goes?  Maybe all the way to a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

Lando Calrissian Vs. Aliens

 

There has been talk of a solo Lando Calrissian series on Disney+ with Donald Glover reprising the role.  The Disney+ Star Wars shows have definitely been a mixed bag thus far. Let's hope that if this show does move forward, a little more thought is put into the scripts.  Maybe once the Hollywood writer's strike is over, we'll get some stories truly worthy of the Star Wars name.

The Thing and 4 Famous Co-Stars!

 

You know what I'm thankful for today?  All of the awesome visitors who make time to stop by and check out these covers.  I am especially thankful to those who leave comments and let me know what they think. 

I've had a few requests for a Thing-led poker night cover, and I finally got around to it here.  I had fun deciding who Ben Grimm might include.  He already had a poker buddy in Lando Calrissian from STF #1943, and back in my MTIO: The Lost Issues days he met Jonah Hex, Wildcat and Hellboy... I'd love to be a fly on the wall for this game.

Lando Calrissian, Mister Terrific and The Thing

I am glad to see that these three characters are finally getting some time back in the spotlight.  After being sidelined due to movie rights haggling and reduced to being a guest star in Guardians of the Galaxy, Ben Grimm will finally be starring in a title of his own, a revival of Marvel-Two-In-One (hopefully with a rotating roster of guest stars instead of just the announced Johnny Storm).  Mr. Terrific will be heading up The Terrifics, which will also include Metamorpho, Plastic Man and Phantom Girl - which sounds like it will be very ccol and fun.  Finally, Lando Calrissian will be blasting back to the silver screen alongside a young Han Solo.  I look forward to seeing what Donald Glover does in the role.
