MKX Comic Plot Discussion & Speculation Thread

Kotal Kahn is a bigger badass than we even thought.

Mileena is a bigger hoe-bag than we even thought.


These are all good things, people, all good things.


Poor Baraka's probably the only one who's been having no luck.

Jesus Goro please stop, it's too much badassery for me to handle! How he sits there, eating like a champ being all like "eh, alright... might as well kill Kotal for you...". With all that said, I'm pretty sure he's gonna die. At least I'm hoping for a somewhat balanced fight, let him die like the badass he is!

 

[Hehateme]

I liked the story but art was really crappy in some places

And a tease about Skarlet maybe appearing in the comic (I personally would like to see her make it into the game, never mind the comic)

Neat. I always wanted to see Skarlet fleshed out.

 

[Youphemism]

Kotal Kahn with the sick-ass burns yo

And is this supposed to pass as REPTILE and D'Vorah?! Jeez...I mean, I didn't even recognise them at first

 

[STRYKIE]

Mileena relying on a jobber like Reiko to do her bidding? Oh how the feeble sisterhood have fallen...

What rhymes with "Cena sucks"?

Just when I was starting to lose hope with the comics, this one brought it right back on track. Great issue. I hope they keep this up, although I wasn't a fan of whoever the artist was for this issue, but I thought the story was good enough to overcome this for me.

I doubt he'll die since he's in the game and there is supposed to be some kind of Shokan uprising later in the comic.

If they didn't have the balls(thankfully) to kill frost they aren't going to kill Goro.


I find the idea of Mileena being a 10 by most of Outworld's race's standards awesome and hilarious. I'd like to think that they think Mileena is hotter than Kitana.

"Kitana? Ew, not enough teeth. She probably wouldn't even murder me in my sleep after making love to me."

 

[LinKueiLegend]

Loved this issue. Really liking how Kotal is a badass with a sense of honor. Can't wait to see him keep growing ad a character. On another note the second boot does look like it could be Erron's buuut Who knows the artwork in this issue wasn't the greatest.

That's because Mileena has that DTF factor

 

[Pterodactyl]

But she also has that DTK&E factor as well.

She's basically wearing what Shao Khan wears but he's the one who shows more skin.

He's in the game, yeah, but only as DLC. And the Shokan uprising may just happen without him, or maybe his death is the reason for it. We'll see, I'm praying for him not to die but I've got a bad feeling.

 

[Law Hero]

Shao Khan's a slut.

 

[Pterodactyl]

Like father, like daughter.

 

[Hehateme]

Like father, like daughter.

Reiko is just the groupie?

 

[Pterodactyl]

He always has been.

 

[Onilordasmodeus]

They switched up artists and the colorer. why?

I like dexter soy. This other guy, Geraldo Borges, reminds me to much of 80s comic art. Too old school for me.

I completely disagree. As Goro has claimed he will "finish" Kotal, it seems to be a one or the other situation, and as we know Kotal won't die, it has to be Goro.

Also, I remember reading that the Shokan uprising is lead by Kintaro. If Goro were alive, surely he'd be leading the Shokan uprising? Seems likely his death will spark this uprising.

And I don't think they didn't kill Frost because they don't have the balls, but I'm sure she'll be making a reappearance in the comic and possibly the game.

Comics usually switch up artist for certain issues. It is a normal thing.

 

[Vak Phoenix]

So mileena is the big bad? After shinnok got bodied?

 

[Pterodactyl]

Yeah, just like how Cassie killed Frost in Issue 5 because they had a death match and it said "two enter, only one will leave".

 

[SaltShaker]

Goro didn't die at all in MK9, so I'm thinking the "Goro Lives" they keep pushing will be in reference to this Kotal Kahn fight.

These two go at it and it appears Kotal has killed him. This in turn starts the Shokan uprising lead by Kintaro. But actually he survived the battle.

That's my theory at least.

 

[SneakyTortoise]

Yeah, just like how Cassie killed Frost in Issue 5 because they had a death match and it said "two enter, only one will leave".

You're ignoring all the other points.
The fact that Goro is just DLC and not in the game suggests he plays no major role in the story.
Kintaro leads the Shokan uprising, not Goro.
We've seen that Kotal is brutal and will kill people "for sport".
There's no way Goro would spare Kotal, and there's very little chance that Kotal would spare Goro.

The Frost vs Cassie fight was completely different. We knew there would be no death and it would be interrupted, we just didn't know how.
