Coldplay tells 'Mylo Xyloto' story in comics
Coldplay is unveiling the inspiration behind its Mylo Xyloto album.
"Three
years ago we had an idea with our friend Mark Osborne about a character
called Mylo Xyloto - "xylo" as in xylophone, "to" as in toe," says the
band in a note on its site.
"Gradually Mylo's story and universe came together and this ended up
providing the backdrop for the album and tour. Now we're proud to
announce that early next year the story is going to come out as a
six-part comic. We hope you like it. It was fun making it."
Osborne
explains that Mylo Xyloto is "a young Silencer on the front lines of a
war against sound and color in the world of Silencia. Mylo discovers
that the enemy he's been trained to hate his whole life might not be the
enemy after all."
The first issue of Mylo Xyloto will be
available at the San Diego Convention Center on Thuresday. On Friday,
the production team behind the comic will appear at a panel to discuss
the series and afterwards will be available for autographs in the
official signing area. A limited supply of the exclusive edition of
issue one will also be made available via the Coldplay.com Shop.
The
comics will be published by Matt Groening's Bongo Comics Group. The
six-part comic will be released monthly from February 2013.
