Lisa’s ALTER-EGO Comic: Where K-Pop Meets Cyberpunk Daydreams
Picture this: Neon-lit Tokyo streets, a glitching hologram of Lisa’s face, and five heroines racing against a digital countdown. No, it’s not an anime teaser—it’s ALTER-EGO: THE OFFICIAL COMIC, BLACKPINK’s Lisa’s audacious leap into graphic storytelling. And trust me, this isn’t your average merch drop.
Teaming with Zero Zero Entertainment (the mad geniuses behind Gorillaz’s Almanac 2020), Lisa’s 56-page limited edition comic is a companion to her solo album, out Feb. 28. But don’t call it a side project. Illustrated by MINOMIYABI—whose art crackles with the same electric chaos as a Tokyo arcade—the story plunges readers into a virtual labyrinth. Five alter egos (Roxi, Kiki, Sunni, Speedi, and Vixi) must rescue Lisa’s trapped avatar from a VR nightmare. Think Tron meets Sailor Moon, drenched in Lisa’s signature swagger.
The Personas at a Glance:
| Name | Role | Vibe |
|---|---|---|
| Roxi | Social media star drowning in fame | Glitchcore aesthetics, anxious |
| Kiki | Arcade queen with a joystick grip | Retro-gamer neon, defiant |
| Sunni | Peacekeeper hiding inner storms | Pastel hues, melancholic |
| Speedi | Thrill-seeker learning patience | Cyberpunk adrenaline, restless |
| Vixi | Lone wolf discovering teamwork’s power | Shadowy metallics, enigmatic |
Why comics? “Lisa’s always been visual—her music videos, her White Lotus role,” says Zero Zero CEO Josh Frankel. “This lets fans step inside her creative brain.” And MINOMIYABI’s art? It’s a sensory punch: candy-colored explosions, panel layouts that mimic a TikTok feed, and Vixi’s cloak swirling like ink in water.
Pre-orders are live now, with a Feb. 28 ship date to sync with the album. And for those wondering, yes—it’s packed with Easter eggs. Rumor has it the comic’s VR antagonists mirror beats from her collabs with Doja Cat and RAYE.
But wait, there’s more. Lisa’s prepping her solo Coachella debut this April. Will the comic’s personas hit the stage? “Expect surprises,” teases an insider. One thing’s clear: Lisa’s not just breaking into comics—she’s rewriting the K-Pop playbook.
