MKX Comic Plot Discussion & Speculation Thread

In the new video I saw it was Cassie repping the Special Forces in that pic so it could be the pic changes depending on which outfit you prefer on that character.

Or it could be that which character from that faction you use the most is the person who shows up there.

Or it could be as simple as NRS changed it lol. I do hope Sonya doesn't die regardless if she makes it in or not. She was always one of my favorite characters.

KOMBAT TIMMMMMEEEEEE!!!

So in a recent IGN video, they show the faction screen and Sonya is there. Now if that is Sonya and not an alt for Cassie, this could mean that Johnny is the one who dies(again), and Cassie now having to live with mom, joins the SF to seek revenge on the Black Dragons.
I don't either of them die in the comic

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Knowing that Mileena is at least shown in the comics from Raiden's vision, is Kitana disconfirmed for the comics? This could mean we won't find out how she came back until the GAME!? And we might see Mileena in today's comic!



We will see Ermac and Ferra/Torr in the comics at some point (we might see F/T in today's comic mind you) and possibly, but probably less likely, Hotaru and Mavado...



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)


But rejoice for we have issue 6 today!

At this point, I think I'm going to be devastated if Erron Black doesn't make it into MKX.

You're just not allowed to look that awesome and strike so many cool poses without being part of the cast.

Summary:

Ages ago in the realm Osh-Tekk, ruled by Kotal's father; Kotal K'etz.. They were conquerors that defeated all enemies, until Shao Kahn arrived with Goro. After the battle, they surrendered and agreed to serve Shao Kahn if he allowed K'etz to keep his portal stone. It is given to Kotal Kahn for him to fulfill the right of 'realmwalk' to inherit his father's helm. Kotal is sent through the portal to Earthrealm.

He wandered until he found the amazon and saved them from an attack. He believed he sent here to save this tribe, rather than conquer it. He became more than a warrior, he was a god. (Somehow gains powers of the sun) He trained the tribe and they named him Buluc the war god. They drank the blood of their enemies.

He returns to outworld expecting his father's praise, his father gives none. He is disappointed in him, Kotal refutes by saying he protected the weak. His father demands the portal stone and Kotal strikes him and returns to earthrealm. His entire tribe had died, it seemed to be a disease that was brought to them through the blood of the men they defeated.

Returning to present day. Kotal Kahn is giving a speech in front of the people of outworld. Around him are Reptile, Erron Black, D'Vorah, his father, and a woman of his race. Mileena drove outworld to near destruction, but Kotal took the throne from her to restore the realm. They have driven Mileena's forces deep under ground, and they have no need to worry about her anymore. But as his father told him, even the mightiest warriors are defeated by the smallest threats. So they will hunt Mileena and her co-conspirators and eliminate all threats to the empire. The people cheer his name.

In the golden desert, General Reiko bows to Mileena. "The Red Dragon have agreed to my-- OUR plan". Reiko is dismissed. Mileena offers Goro the chance to finish Kotal Kahn and in return she will restore the Shokan to their former glory.

Also.. Erron looks extremely similar to the second boot... And Kotal's fallen ally could be his father.

So.... Mileena's design looks FUCKING AMAZING. I can't wait to see her in game... ughhhhh *crosses fingers*
Mileena looks great and so does Erron Black. Also, is it just me, or does Erron look like he's wearing an alternate outfit in this issue?

What a day. What a lovely day.

It definitely looks like an alt, or maybe that's just what's under his... poncho. Either way, not a look we've seen before for sure.

Hey does anyone know if Boon or anyone at NRS mentioned if it's necessary to keep up with the comics to understand MKX storyline?

I'm sure that it's not super necessary. It's just for people who'd like a deeper understanding of what's going on :)
