SPOILER ALERT:Mortal Kombat X DIGITAL COMIC DISCUSSION

I don't see how Reiko is an unsuspecting fool, if Kittelsen went out of his way to emphasis that he is a master manipulator and a genius, also where did you come to the conclusion that Havik is not insane, and that what he's doing with Reiko is any different from what he wanted to do in the original timeline with Shao Kahn?

Exactly, putting emphasis on how smart Reiko is, furthers the cunning of Havik. Having him trick Reiko shows he's genius knows no bounds. I'd hardly call that insane, he's very much of a stable mind (At least as much as a person who's sole goal is Chaos can be)

Reiko wants power, that's all he wants, he's blinded by it. Havik works for or with nobody, for all Reiko knows he's simply a Cleric who came to Reiko and told him he could be a God, he obviously went through Reiko, who smart as he may be, is driven by a thirst for power, so much so, even he wouldn't notice the hidden agenda of Havik. Havik is very much the one in charge here.
 
I think it's pretty obvious six Kamidogu aren't going to have the effect Reiko thinks they'll have, especially with that seventh Kamidogu Kittelsen confirmed wasn't an art error...

Anyway, Chapter 26's description is out!

Mileena vs. Skarlet! Reiko vs. Kotal Kahn! The brawl for it all continues as a surprise new character joins the fray!

Hmm, wonder who could be entering the story this late.
 
Now that sounds like an interesting matchup. I wonder if the fights will be separate or if Mileena and Kotal actually fight side by side out of desperation. Sonya and Johnny must be preoccupied with Cassie & Jacqui.

I wonder if this surprise new character is actually new or just a returning cast member. I can't really think of anyone who relates to Havik, Skarlett or Reiko though. Noob Saibot would be my best guess.

Hotaru maybe? Noob Saibot is also a good guess, im very curious

Seventh Kamidogu? Well, Deception discs being burned right now by comic people.

Funny, because it was always seven artifacts, but not seven Kamidogu (not considering the meaning of the word, but how they are actually called).

Shinnok's Amulet was ALWAYS the seventh piece.

If it can be accessed by all six Kamidogu, maybe, when joined, people use it in the comics. That would make a "seventh Kamidogu" (it's the tool of a god, anyway).

But if he invents a new Kamidogu, that messes pretty bad. Because Kamidogu were made in the count of Elder Gods, that's messing with the base story...

Given that they're now daggers, I think it's a little late to complain about these Kamidogu not being exactly like the ones from Deception.
 
The Seventh Kamidogu is me!

I am also the Eighth Deadly Sin, the Fifth Beatle, and the number Twelve on Spinal Tap's amplifiers.

I think changing to daggers doesn't change its story, the function it has of splitting the One Being by each of the Elder Gods.

But inventing a seventh one, that's messing with the story more than it has.

Unless they are calling the Amulet a Kamidogu, despite not representing any realm, but wouldn't be something that would cause problems.
 
Well, maybe that's why Onaga didn't merge all the realms. The Deception story had him searching for the ancient incantation in Edenia, but maybe there was a seventh kamidogu that he didn't know about, one that he didn't need to get his body back, but needed to merge the realms. That's why he couldn't do it.

That explanation could work. Problem solved! :)


But in the comics, it's only probably The Amulet

I hope so.

One more Kamidogu would mean one more Elder God.

And besides Shinnok, no one else seems to have fallen from Heaven on the original story.
 
Issue was really good. Some cliche lines, but Havik was whoopin that ass. He looks too good not to be in the game. Such a shame.

This would have been such a great Kombat Kard background

Hotaru would be a badass character to show up in the comics.
Being one of my favorites, if he's to get killed off, I'd like to at least see it happen.
 
The more I get of these comics, the more I feel sad that Havik/Reiko/Skarlet are not in the main roster.. If Hotaru joins in, then it'll only feel worse.

Does anyone else feel that perhaps there needed to be one game in between MK9 and MKX to do justice to all these amazing characters? The comics cover, and rather reveal so much about the MK-universe - the MKX plot seems like a joke after this, tbh.
 
I agree. I personally think the Civil War should have been the focus of its own game. That is such a huge moment in MK's lore, and it was put on the backburner to show off the Cage family shennanigans.

True. Come to think of it, the storymode now feels like it carried wayy too much deadweight. The Outworld Civil War, compounded with perhaps a mini Red/Black Dragon subplot (with Kano's son instead of one of the new younger kids) would have been so much better.
