R&B singer The Weeknd is inching closer and closer to making his Marvel debut although it’ll be in a print form rather than on the big screen. The crooner’s long-awaited Starboy comic book finally has a release date.
As of this week, Weeknd’s fictional Starboy will drop June 13.
The city of Alphatron is in the grip of a crime wave, as the terrifying Jack “The Chef” Smiley has unified all criminal organizations with his ruthlessness and strategic genius. Not content with brutally murdering his victims, Smiley also feasts upon their flesh. The citizens live in fear and the police have been directly targeted. The city is in dire need of a hero. It will not get one, but it will get what it deserves: Starboy! Written by Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye, La Mar Taylor, and Christos Gage with art by Eric Nguyen and Guru-eFX, THE WEEKND PRESENTS: STARBOY – Vol. I – Issue #1 is the debut Marvel comic from the mind of The Weeknd.

Back in October, the Canadian singer gassed fans up about the joint project.
