GOT A RAP SHEET LONGER THAN JABBA’S SMALL INTESTINE
We wonder if Donald Glover’s entire audition to play intergalactic rogue Lando Calrissian was something along the lines of “Walk in this cape.” ‘Cause whoever is playing Lando has to be able to pull The Cape Look off. When you turn and the cape billows out behind you, people watching gotta think, “How do I get me one of those?” (the cape, Lando… we’re going to be intentionally unclear about our modifier here) and not, “Well, isn’t that lovely.”
You and us? We go back a long way. We know you, so we feel like we can say this to you: you can also pull off a cape. One like this replica of Lando Calrissian’s from Solo: A Star Wars Story. Face it. You strike a fine form, and the cape will just give you that last little je ne sais quoi. Don’t tell your friends we said that. They’ll just be jealous, and then they’ll want a cape for themselves, and nobody needs that.
Kitchen Nightmares!
On a dark, haunted night, a Russian oligarch dares a circle of international chefs to play the samurai game of 100 Candles--where each storyteller spins a terrifying tale of ghosts, demons and unspeakable beings--and prays to survive the challenge.
Inspired by the Japanese Edo period game of Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai, Hungry Ghosts reimagines the classic stories of yokai, yorei, and obake, all tainted with the common thread of food.
First course: With bad consequence, a ramen chef refuses to help a beggar, and a band of pirates get more (and less) than they were bargaining for after their encounter with a drowning woman turns ghastly.
Hungry Ghosts is cooked up by the infamous author and chef, Anthony Bourdain (Kitchen Confidential, Emmy-Award winning TV star of Parts Unknown) and acclaimed novelist Joel Rose (Kill, Kill, Faster, Faster, back again from their New York Times #1 best seller, Get Jiro!). Joining them this issue are stellar artists Alberto Ponticelli and Vanesa Del Rey, with amazing color by Jose Villarrubia, and a drop-dead cover by Paul Pope
