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 HERE.

Coldplay has also announced a special release for Record Store Day in the UK on Saturday, April 20. The limited edition release will contain Issue One of the 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 and selected independent record stores worldwide from Saturday, April 27.

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.

The physical Mylo Xyloto comic books are also available to order either individually or as a series from the Coldplay Shop.
