LISA‘s upcoming album Alter Ego might explore the five different sides of the BLACKPINK star, but in a new project coinciding with the LP, she’s downsizing to the two-dimensional world of comic-book panels.
As announced Tuesday (Feb. 18), the singer-rapper is launching a new venture, Lalisa Comics, in partnership with Zero Zero Entertainment, beginning with a 56-page graphic novel titled Alter-Ego: The Official Comic. Authored by LISA and illustrated by MINOMIYABI, the book will give fans a deeper understanding of the five personas the K-pop star individually channels throughout the songs on Alter Ego — Vixi, Roxi, Kiki, Sunni and Speedi — through comic-style storytelling.
“When three ruthless bullies trap Vixi in a virtual reality nightmare, her friends dive headfirst into the digital battleground,” reads a description on the product’s website. “Proving that while Vixi may work alone, she never has to fight alone.”

Now available for purchase, the comics will ship out March 24, about a month after the Feb. 28 release of Alter Ego. LISA has been teasing the release of her debut solo LP for months, getting fans hyped up with singles “Rockstar,” “New Woman” featuring Rosalía and “Moonlit Floor (Kiss Me).” Most recently, the White Lotus Season 3 star dropped “Born Again” featuring Doja Cat — whom LISA once called her “dream” collaborator — and Raye.
LISA has been teasing the five-persona concept behind Alter Ego since she first announced the LP in November, at which time she dropped an album trailer hinting at each of the alter egos’ contrasting aesthetics. In a January interview with Capital Breakfast‘s Jordan North, the Thai musician revealed which identity is her favorite: Vixi, because “she’s the bada–, she’s a villain.”
“I was trying so many different kinds of music styles while I was recording,” she added at the time. “I was like, ‘Oh, well I’ve never done this kind of stuff before, but it sounds great. Why not just kind of like put all the different styles into the album and call it Alter Ego?’”
Sabrina Carpenter started the month of February by winning her first two Grammys ever, and as it turns out, she was just getting started.
Last week, Carpenter graced the cover of Vogue for the very first time — earning praise from Madonna for her Marilyn Monroe-inspired photo shoot that recalled Madge’s own Vanity Fair spread from the early ’90s (“Is this a Valentine’s present to me?”). Then first thing Friday, she dropped the deluxe edition of her Short n’ Sweet album that included a remix of her Billboard Hot 100-topping “Please Please Please” with none other than Dolly Parton.
Then on Sunday night, Carpenter got not one, but two looks on the blockbuster Saturday Night Live 50th-anniversary special, opening the show alongside Paul Simon with “Homeward Bound” and then joining a Domingo sketch alongside Bad Bunny and Pedro Pascal. Whew.
On the new Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are talking all about Carpenter’s big week and recapping all the music moments on the SNL50 special.

Also on the show, we’ve got chart news on Kendrick Lamar’s post-Super Bowl splash on both the Billboard 200 albums chart and Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, as the GNX album returns to No. 1 on the former and “Not Like Us” is back at No. 1 on the latter. Plus, could Drake — the subject of the diss track “Not Like Us” — actually replace Lamar at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 next week? His new collaboration album with PartyNextDoor, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, came out last Friday, so it could happen.
And we finally got our first pop headliner at the Sphere in Las Vegas, with the announcement of a Backstreet Boys residency in July.

Chloe Fineman isn’t proud of her Harry Styles impression.
The Saturday Night Live cast member chatted with Chicken Shop Date host Amelia Dimoldenberg on the SNL 50th anniversary special red carpet on Sunday night (Feb. 16), where she revealed that her impression of the One Direction superstar is “really bad,” adding, “I did it and he was at the table and was so devastated by how bad it was.”
The comedian also did a quick rendition of Styles per the New York Post, saying in a British accent, “Anyway, I’m Harry Styles, anyway.”

Styles has only hosted SNL one time, in 2019, but has appeared a number of times as a musical guest. With One Direction, he performed on the iconic sketch comedy show in 2012, 2013 and 2014. As a solo artist, he performed in 2017 and on the same day as his hosting gig in 2019. However, he and Fineman have never acted in a sketch together.
While Styles wasn’t one of the musical guests at the SNL50 celebration, the show featured a star-studded lineup with collaborations between Sabrina Carpenter and Paul Simon, Miley Cyrus and Brittany Howard, and Lil Wayne and The Roots. The show wrapped with a performance from Sir Paul McCartney, who delivered an Abbey Road medley of “Golden Slumbers” / “Carry That Weight” / “The End.”
