The Weeknd made a huge announcement during ComicCon this past weekend. Thanks to Marvel, the Canadian pop star will have his own Starboy comic book. The Weeknd had been teasing information about the collaboration on Twitter for a week, before announcing that he would be signing autographs at New York City's ComicCon on Saturday.

In a previous interview with Zane Lowe on Beats 1 Radio, The Weeknd discussed the lead character from his album Starboy becoming a comic book.
"Starboy is the next chapter in this chronicle, this saga. 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."
Although The Weeknd and Marvel haven't revealed the release date for the comic book, fans of the singer are already showing major support for the project.
