Coldplay co-create Mylo Xyloto comic book
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 12 July 2012
Their glowband enterprise having proved something of a financial black hole, Coldplay are perhaps hoping to recoup lost monies with a new comic book serial based on their fifth studio record, ‘Mylo Xyloto’. Starring the LP’s heroic protagonist, Chris Martin and co have developed the concept in partnership with ‘Kung Fu Panda’ director Mark Osborne.
He has this to say about it: “The comic is the latest expression of a music-driven feature animated film that the band and I started developing several years ago. It is the story of ‘Mylo Xyloto’, a young Silencer on the front lines of a war against sound and colour 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. There will hopefully be many, many connections for people who have heard the album. I am beyond thrilled with the way it’s turned out”.
Limited copies of the first issue will be sold via Coldplay’s online merch store, so please donate kindly.
