Reiko being in his MKA garb worries me, I think that may be confirmation that he also doesn't make the cut- not surprised though. I heard Fujin is in his MKA outfit too...eh...I really hope Fujin makes It in for once, damn.

That's what I was thinking too. But didn't they tweet a pic of Kenshi's mocap session? And he was wearing his old costume in the comic.

Unless that session was actually Takeda.....

Heh, no one is talking about Frost, so I guess I'll start.

I'm in too much of thought with this panel showing her punching Cassie based on what they're wearing.

They both seem to be wearing gym outfits because I'm seeing it that Frost is wearing shorts, which is leaving me the impression that M-A-Y-B-E she's working with Cassie in training?

But then... what's with the steel cage surrounding them?

Could it be that Cassie is like, one of those people who is looking for a fight so she stumbles upon allies and such and finds herself in a dreadful situation?

Because there's nothing on Frost indicating Lin Kuei... and the description they gave her sounds like she's apart of something.

Also, Kano digging a dagger in that Shokan's hand. Oooookay.

Well, they are building Takeda up alot in the comic...And then, the casting call for the digital series seems to point that he grows up to have very similar abilities as his father, so...

I think this is the illegal underground MMA fight, described in one of the issues synopsis.

Gotcha! I'm really excited to see the next batch of new characters. Kitana was a very satisfying reveal but now I'm ready to see more of the "next generation". I'm really hoping most of these new characters actually go on to become "regulars" and don't go the route of the 3D era newbies lol

Solicits for forthcoming issues have mentioned Cassie runs afoul of Frost during an underground MMA tournament; that'd be the scenario we're witnessing. Edit: Beaten by Jax007. Also, I like pie.

Yeah, that was what I was aiming for and couldn't find the words.

I guess that's one way to bring Frost back. I gotta read it before making any judgements. It's a weird way to bring her back after seeing what we've seen her in the past but I could get behind her being this underground deadly fighter than a student with the urge to take possession of something she'll never handle.

Kittelsen's confirmed the guy by Kotal is not Smoke.

Still guessing it's Salazar.

I'm sure he would, he has. But like i said, even if she dies AND she is not playable in MKX, i'm sure they would bring her back later, hence Cassie having her own moves and not Sonya's. Let's enjoy Cassie for now

That's what i was wondering,but then i remembered they have several intro dialogue and maybe there's more dialogue between Cassie vs Kotal that we've yet to see.

I just hope Reiko doesn't ask Mileena for a BJ...

Aside Duke Nukem, I do not see who would.

Mileena and Reiko?! Hmmm...

My guess is he is using her to get power since she was Kahn's heir, and wants the throne for himself

Well, that's irritating. The resemblance is way too close.

It's a pretty unique and fresh spin indeed! It actually has me craving to see more of her.

Reptile's cousin? Other new Saurian? Maybe even Chameleon?

It would be interesting if this Kitana actually turns out to be Mileena who's taken over the identity of her 'sister'. So the real Kitana is still dead, but nobody really knows that because Mileena looks like Kitana and whatnot.

From the look of that photo shot, Raiden must have done fucked it up again! Jesus he even electrified Fujin in the background with red lightning! :(


I'm I the only one to imagine Reiko's voice sounding like Zapp Branigan? XD

FUJINNNNNNN!!!!! Finally he shows up. Hmmmm if he becomes a big part of the comic he definetely will be in mkx.

Annnnd Shawn responded when I asked if it was smoke, reptile, or chameleon:

@kittelsen: @SonofWinter Don't let the lighting trick you. It's one of those three. ;)

Yeah with the way they're building up Takeda and the fact that we know other characters children will be playable and with most of the heroes dead he seems like a safe bet.

Eh, I hope not. The best Kitana has looked and it's not even her. I doubt that would go over well.

LOL to the Zapp Branigan
