Blackpink’s Lisa is stepping into a new creative space with the release of her manga, Alter Ego. The K-pop superstar, known for her electrifying performances and chart-topping hits, is expanding her artistic reach beyond music.
Lisa’s solo album, Alter Ego, was released yesterday (February 28, 2025). She is also launching a manga of the same name to complement the album’s themes. Alter Ego: The Official Comic will be available on March 24, 2025, just weeks after her album release.
Lisa Collaborates with Top Artists for Her Manga
For this special project, Lisa is teaming up with Zero Entertainment, led by Z2 Comics founder Josh Frankel. The 56-page limited-edition comic will feature artwork by renowned Japanese artist MINOMIYABI, who has worked with Walt Disney Imagineering and contributed to the Gorillaz Almanac.
The project also includes:
- Josh Frankel as the editor
- Brandon Montclare as the dialogue writer
- Derick Jones handling backgrounds
- Fred Stresing in charge of colors
A Glimpse into the Storyline
The manga takes readers into a futuristic cyberpunk city, following the story of Vixi, a brilliant yet introverted tech genius. She prefers fixing arcade machines over the spotlight but forms an unbreakable bond with four unique friends:
- Roxi – A social media star craving real connections
- Kiki – An unbeatable arcade champion with endless determination
- Sunni – A kind-hearted peacekeeper hiding inner struggles
- Speedi – A daring risk-taker learning to slow down
When bullies trap Vixi in a virtual reality nightmare, her friends step in to save her, proving that she may work alone, but she’ll never have to fight alone.
Lisa’s Solo Era Begins
Lisa’s solo journey is already making waves. She recently rereleased “Born Again”, featuring Doja Cat and RAYE, marking the start of her independent music career. Additionally, she is set to make her solo debut at Coachella in April, further cementing her global influence.
With a new album, a unique manga, and a solo Coachella stage, Lisa’s Alter Ego era is shaping up to be legendary.
