Raiden is one careless dude. But we already knew that.
Is it me or are these 15-year-old girls being sexualized? They're certainly highly... developed for their age.
Cassie is, well... she's a teenager; hopefully she's a bit more mature in the 20/25 year marks. I like the rebellious streak for her, but a lot of her dialogue was trash ("star f-ers"?). I also like that she's as egotistical as her father, but also self-confident and sometimes vulnerable. Makes her feel human.
Interesting bit about Johnny and Sonya possibly being on bad terms. And it sounds like Johnny is really proud of his daughter, but Sonya is more focused on work.
I like that Sonya is in a high-ranking position and commands more respect. Her new outfit looks cool, but I'm not a fan of the whole attire being one color; her pants should be gray or something.
I wonder what Jax is up to. Still in the Special Forces?
Kotal is a more interesting villain in a few pages than Shao Kahn was in 5 games. Good start.
Erron Black. I like the look. Reminds me of a character from Secret Ponchos.
D'Vorah is a hothead. I was hoping she'd be an intelligent character. I guess Kotal is the smart one, which makes him even more awesome.
So the Outworld Civil War sounds like it begins 5 years after MK9. A little odd. Maybe Shinnok's assault temporarily delays the game of thrones?
