There's no guarantee she's dead, I don't think they would've name dropped her if she was just gonna be one and done.

Oh, my days !
So finally read the second issue, same problems as the first one, stuff just happens & moves to quickly. They really need to learn what pacing is when it comes to comics. Also good job killing the Shirai Ryu & not giving us a single reason to care at all because it happened so quickly.
Excuse me, the new Shirai Ryu that were re-introduced in the comic (should I call them the 2nd Shirai Ryu?) were killed off AGAIN ?

yeah i feel like their should have been at least one chapter devoted to just how the Shirai Ryu operates and Takeda, Hanzo, and Fox's relationship inside it. we literally just have two fights between the two and although it did its job of showing Fox was just a cool friendly guy it feels very rushed.

Same problem with the first issue, we're just throw into the middle of everything & stuff happens with no real build.

But you realize the Game will be here in 4 months. They HAVE to cram a lot of shit into this comic which is the lead up to MKX story mode... I dont thin they have the luxury and slowly introducing us to every char and slow developed plots...

If my calculations are corrrect.. They will have about 13 digital issues left to get us all up to speed on the story gap from mk9 to now... Not easy...

That doesn't excuse the comic having a ton of flaws.

Which seem to actually have more to do with a marketing gimmick, did they advertise before hand the physical release would have more pages? That will probably fix some of the Pacing problems.

Someone appears to be attempting to (and succeeding in) bring back "Scorpion."

I guess destroying his new ninja babies was the first step, then forcing him to remember his old clan's destruction is meant to drive him over the edge. For what purpose, I have no idea yet.

Maybe it's Quan Chi! Even though he lost the Netherrealm War and Hanzo overcame Scorpion he's trying to get Scorpion back so he can control him or something.
Controlling Fox*. Racist :DOGE
Shit. For some reason I continue to misname the two of them and I don't know why...

The demon actually slaughtered the original Shirai Ryu and Quan Chi just took credit for it cause he's an asshole?? :DOGE:DOGE

Quan-Chi was the one to kill Scorp's family, those memories of him are fabricated, like in MK9's first arc in that animation-esk segment
