The Weeknd first showed interest in creating a comic during an interview with Zane Lowe during the album promo run. “Starboy is the next chapter in this chronicle, this saga,” he said. “I guess this is the fourth chapter. He’s a character that we created. It’s so funny, we want to create a comic out of him as well […] He’s a cool, dope character that makes appearances a lot on the album. He’s definitely made his appearance in different records in the past as well.”
The singer will be present at the Marvel booth at 2.30 pm at New York Comic Con today to sign autographs for fans.
