SPOILER ALERT:Mortal Kombat X DIGITAL COMIC DISCUSSION

It sounds to me like it's just explaining how Kano got his new bionic eye, not how he lost his old organic eye. Also he didn't die until after MK1, so I'm not sure if you're still trying to argue this is pre-MK1 or not.

Spoiler:

Ok, even with his new bionic eye in MKX, why would they need to explain his getting it cut out?
The simple explanation for his bionic eye in MKX could also be that he got an upgrade, much like how Cyrax, Sektor or CSZ would get an upgrade.
I'm no longer debating pre-MK1, but I also don't understand why this can't be Bi-Han.
He did have a mask on his face until Kano shot it off, and Bi-Han was also killed in MK9.
So this just sounds like people assuming that it's Kuai, just because he's maskless now, with nothing else to back up that claim.

Sonya threatens to kill Kotal if he doesn't tell her where her daughter is. Reptile tells Sonya that first she insulted Kotal and is now throwing false accusations at him, then he shoots his tongue at her face -- but it is grabbed by Johnny Cage, wearing very military-like clothes. With the situation escalating, Johnny takes a diplomatic approach and offers Kotal medical supplies, but D'Vorah tells him to back up and puts some maggots in Kotal's wound. Johnny is disgusted, but makes a quip about it being all-natural at least. Kotal gets up, thanks D'Vorah and says he will only speak with Raiden's Champion - Johnny. Johnny explains the situation, that Black Dragon kidnapped Cassie. Kotal explains that he only uses the BD for tech for his armies, and would never conspire to kidnap children. Johnny shows him the Erron Black picture. Kotal claims he has never spoken directly with Kano and Erron was the intermediary. D'Vorah suggests Erron acted out because of the frustration from Sonya's rejection in Earthrealm. [cont...]

Spoiler:
Awesome.
I had the feeling that Erron Black was a double-agent for the Black Dragon.
Kidnapping Cassie and Jacqui was probably done under Kano's orders.
 
Spoiler:
Kotal claims Erron is working without his permission. It is revealed that Mavado and some goons are spying on this whole conversation; Mavado tells them to stand down because they have a new objective. Kotal tells Johnny and Sonya that Erron is securing a trade route, so Cassie might be there. He asks D'Vorah and Reptile to take them. The other cloaked people are revealed to be generic spec ops guys. Sonya mentions that Erron is Kotal's problem before they leave to get Cassie.

Cut to Jacqui and Cassie being escorted through a forest by unknown goons, planning to escape. Cassie falls, feigning injury. When a goon approaches, she headbutts him, cracking his headgear. Before they get anywhere, they are both blasted by a laser - Kano! Their escape attempt foiled, Kano threatens to take a leg from them should they try again. [cont...]
 
Spoiler:
I'm not so sure about Erron being a double spy for the Black Dragon. I think he is doing this under D'Vorah's orders, especially if she immediately came up with an excuse for his behaviour...
 
Spoiler:
Erron Black warns Kano not to cut off any legs, since they are worth more intact, and tells him to go easy with the eye beams, lest he blasts a hole through someone. (Erron is not afraid to order Kano around.) Kano points at his eye and tells him his new eye replaced the old one a few years back.

Cut to Red Dragon temple, years ago. Back to the last panel from chapter 1. Sub-Zero knocks Kano away, but Kano lunges at him and stabs him in the shoulder. Sub's eyes are glowing red and Kano claims the curse can't be broken, so you just have to kill the possessed. Kano prepares to kill Sub (with his cybernetic heart), but Sub says he's already been dead once and attacks Kano, freezing his eyepiece and tearing it out of his head. With his eyepiece removed, Kano stumbles to his knees and curses Sub. Sub picks up the dagger and leaves.

Cut back to present. Kano says he never saw him again, and then is surprised to hear a noise in the bushes. He alerts his goons. [cont...]
 
Spoiler:
The two goons carrying Cassie and Jacqui are swiftly decapitated by shurikens. It's Mavado and the Red Dragon. Kano asks what they're doing here. Mavado says he's come for the hostages and to leave Kotal a message in Kano's blood. [END]
 
Yeah, thank you, Greyjoy! Although I thought I'd heard there was supposed to be something with Scorpion and Raiden in this chapter, too?

Spoiler:
And okay, if Erron's giving Kano orders, I really do doubt all the more that he's a BD agent.
 
I'll post the preview for next chapter and the previously on in a little bit.

Sorry for splitting it up into parts. I was reading while summarizing. Here's the whole thing:

I think it's pretty much confirmed Erron Black is Black Dragon. Might even be their leader. It is not specified if the Sub is Kuai Liang or Bi-Han, although the eye scar points to the former, IMO.
 
Hey Greyjoy, thanks for the summary. Good stuff.

Not sure Mavado is long for this world. Going to try to take on Kano and Black...? Might not end well, lol. Comic writers might use Mavado as a victim to show off some of Erron Black's moves.

Although, I could see the two groups fighting it out and the hostages running away in the confusion.
 
Spoiler:
So
IT seems that Johnny Cage is MK champion in the Nether realm wars.

A good answer to all who claimed that nothing new can be done with his character.

I really liked how he dealt with this entire situation.
 
Spoiler:
GOD DAMN that's a lot of backstabbing in one issue lol

Shit, now I really want to see it for myself.
So Kano wants to hold the kids for ransom and get big monies from Sonya. And Mavado wants to get rid of Kano to cut off Kotal's weapon/tech supplies.
I think this supports my theory of everyone from MK9 having an MK9ish outfit for the Netherrealm war and then something else for the future.

I'm thinking Kung Lao has his old Kung Fu garb from MK9 and looks a lot younger.

Also with Kuai Liang, it seems like he will indeed be going on a murderous freezing rampage as a resultof the Kamidogu curse.
