shred Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Ok I'm a bit confused. Is the comic being release worldwide after Comic Con (like a few days/weeks after) or is just the Comic Con goers getting a sneak peak and then the comic being released next year? EDIT: Nevermind. I found this one on of the articles. Following the first issue's release, the following five parts will be published monthly beginning February 2013 Do we know the release date for the first issue?

Harondor Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 That's the question ! According to Rolling Stone, "This week at Comic-Con in San Diego, Coldplay will debut a new six-part comic series. [...] Following the first issue's release, the following five parts will be published monthly beginning February 2013" Read more: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/coldplay-announce-six-part-mylo-xyloto-comic-series-20120710#ixzz20FsoaIxY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Bauer Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I think that the song titles we thought, or at least I thought were just randomly titled (mmix,aht) will finally have some relevance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alien Radio Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Oh and btw AIKO - the name of Mylo Xyloto's mother - is also a name of one unreleased song written for the album! (found on the South Bank show) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RazorEye Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Don't know about you, but i'm not going to take a comic that concerns xylophone toes THAT seriously! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabbit Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I thought the references were only to help pronounce Xyloto: "xylo" as in xylophone, "to" as in toe. Don't think it meant someone with xylophone toes :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sealedaway Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 If you look at his piano in recent shows, it says REX right under "and I heard it on a TV show". can someone get a picture of that. does anyone know any other story related references on his piano?

strikie Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I was just listening the album (for a change :lol:) and had some Ideas The "story" in the charlie brown music video was probably taken the comics! Mylo (the guy in the CB video) falls in love with a girl from the world of color Mylo discovers that the enemy he's been trained to hate his whole life might not be the enemy after all. And they'll tun wild! The devil as he's talking with those angel's eyes (UATW) might be from the girl's perspective. Mylo is suposed to be her enemy, but now they're a couple.. or am I getting to excited? :smiley: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 This comic thingy should have been released before the album in my opinion. 'Cause then the whole thing would have worked for me. It would have seemed like this was in the long term plan all along. Now, it just seems like the boys are doing this without no real plan in mind. Like they are doing it just for the shock factor. Or maybe it's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the whole story is from the boy's perspective, except HLH and Paradise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister MX Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Oh and btw AIKO - the name of Mylo Xyloto's mother - is also a name of one unreleased song written for the album! (found on the South Bank show) Is Rex his father then? :laugh3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coeurli Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 ^No, Rex is his best friend (according to the Q&A with Mark Osborne on Coldplay.com) And what if names like Aiko or Rex that we thought were songs were actually only characters ? The project has been going on for 3 years, the South Bank show is from 2009 (right ?).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdplayinParadise Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Comic-Con Is anyone here who is going to Comic-Con and who can buy the mxcomic for me then make a private sell on eBay so I can have it? Pretty please? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris594 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Also on a Kung-Fu Panda and MX era related note in a scene in Kung-Fu Panda 2 Po rides a makeshift unicycle (38 mins in) ala paradise music video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red Army Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Interesting idea. Never been into comics though. There's now four new things I am anticipating... - HLH Music Video (I think it will be the best MV of this era, though Paradise is it's only competition in that regard) - MX Comic (could be nice, hope its not cheesy or lame) - ColdplayFilm (I really don't think this will be a standard concert DVD...personally, I think that it will be an animated film containing the characters from the comics, and it will cut in and out of clips from the live concert shows) - New songs...(I just hope this is true, would only make sense to release a song with each new comic release) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pansonic Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Guys, I think the inspiration actually comes from Daft Punk's Interstellar 5555. If you haven't seen it yet, do it, it is quite entertaining.

But I'll focus on the links between the story and the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have seemed like this was in the long term plan all along. I agree with this. Though it was stated that the comic is up for personal interpretation as well and does not specifically set what MX is about, I feel like many of us have already created solid ideas about lyrics and stuff that might be a little thrown off or maybe even ruined by connections in the comic. But if the comic came first, it would of been cool to read it then listen to the album and connect the two together instead of the other way around. I don't know, my fear is some music might lose its meaning for me personally because it isn't exactly as deep as I thought, it is just a part of a plot about two lovebirds. But, again, I guess the way the reader interpretates the story is the only thing that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, again, I guess the way the reader interpretates the story is the only thing that matters. I have the same fear as you, but if it was released before, then you'd have had no chance of getting your own interpretation of the songs. Also, the risk would have been that the comic book would look more important than the album, when really what matters should be the music. I'm too curious so I definitely want to read the comics and see all the connections, but if MX for instance has a special meaning for you, that you really care about it and you're afraid the comic may ruin it, then maybe you shouldn't read when it comes out :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabbit Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 In addition, if the comic had come out before we might have expected all-animation versions of all the videos and everything else would be comic-centric! I wouldn't wanna give up elephant costumes for anything hehe. :elephant: Well looking back at this thread: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=92307 everyone had boy-meets-girl interpretations already. Only now it's set in a fictional universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
