Coldplay enter comic world

Coldplay are to launch a comic book series about the character who inspired their last album. The comics will tell the story of Mylo Xyloto, a warrior in a futuristic war, and are part of a wider project to tell the story with an animated film.

The story was created and written by Mark Osborne, director of Kung Fu Panda.

The first comic will be launched at the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con International event in the US later this week.

Announcing the comics, the band said: “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.”
