Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto Series
Coldplay reports the Mylo Xyloto comic book series is now available digitally exclusively on Apple's iBookstore for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The Mylo Xyloto comic book series reveals the story behind Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto album, which has sold over six million copies since its October 2011 release. The first three issues are available to download now worldwide, with Issue One currently available for free as the iBookstore's Book of the Week. Get Mylo Xyloto Issue One for free now exclusively on the iBookstore at itunes.com/ColdplayComics.
Coldplay has also announced a special release for Record Store Day in the UK on Saturday, 20 April. The limited edition release will contain Issue One of the band's Mylo Xyloto comic book series alongside a special 7-inch vinyl picture disc, featuring "Hurts Like Heaven" and "Us Against The World (Live)." To give fans worldwide a chance to buy the package, a limited number will also be sold via Coldplay.com from Saturday, 27 April, plus selected independent record stores worldwide.
The story of Mylo Xyloto was conceived and written by Coldplay with Academy Award-nominated writer and director Mark Osborne (Kung Fu Panda, MORE, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie), and the Mylo comic books are published by Matt Groening's celebrated Bongo Comics Group. The six-part series is being released monthly, until July.
