SPOILER ALERT:Mortal Kombat X DIGITAL COMIC DISCUSSION

But she's not perfectly beautiful. She has teeth where teeth shouldn't be.

Look at D'Vorah, she's insectoid, but she's still not ugly. She actually has a pretty attractive face.

Look at Goro, he's a monster, but he still has the lantern jaw and the high cheekbones we associate with male good looks. He's "ugly," but he's not repulsive.

It's a fine line between making a character look bad in a good way, and bad in a bad way. I respect that you think they might have gone too far. I personally prefer this design. If a new MK film gets made and Mileena has her old face, it would be impossible to take her seriously/get a good actress for the role. This is a good middle ground.

Yah, I get all your points and the movie thing makes sense. It's just that... I don't know, when I think of games, especially one like MK, I don't quite understand why certain beauty standards should be followed. Like when people rage because Kitana doesn't look like a Disney princess or something. In all honesty I thought MK9's Mileena was horrible - but that's exactly what I believe I would think if she was real. She's a disaster made by human hands, and that's what you get when you play God. The idea of that thing going after you to kill you with sais is exactly what appeals to me in terms of character, what I was expecting. Now I look at Mileena and I think "oh hell, I would get her to bed all the same".
 
Anyone notice it looks like cyrax frozen in chapter 11. bottom left corner near the end. unless there are multiple yellow members. guess that's around when sektor would be killed also so makes sense why no sektor or cyrax yet

Kittelsen said that wasn't Cyrax, IIRC.

I already provided a summary of tomorrow's digital release, because it was released in print a couple of weeks ago, and I got my hands on the print version. I can repost it if you want.

Is that the one that ends with Havik being revealed as the cleric 'working for' Reiko? If so, I think I am up to date. If not, yes please.

How often are these released? If my (well, a lot of people's) Havik/boss theory is correct, then I guess they will coincide such a reveal with the game's launch.

Yes it is. And they're released every Sunday, but sometimes the print issues happen to release issues earlier than digital.
 
[MENTION=2567]Vigilante_FireDragon[/MENTION], Here you go:

Blood Ties - Kamidogu

Spoiler:
The scene then shifts to the Outworld Jungle. D'Vorah stabs a Lizard with her pincers and eats it whole. Sonya comments how disgusting that was, and D'Vorah snaps back saying she can regurgitate the lizard if Sonya wants to share (lol). Johnny Cage then says to Reptile "Ten bucks my baby mama snaps before D'Vorah" (LOOOOOOOOOLLLLL). Blood then drips on to Johnny's glasses from above. They all look up and find Erron Black tied to a tree, beaten very badly.

Erron is untied and is interrogated. The scene goes back to when Erron, Kano, Jacqui and Cassie encounted the Red Dragon and Mavado. As Erron, Kano and Mavado are arguing, Cassie and Jacqui talk about running for it. The argument between the three men reach a conclusion as Kano laser blasts a Red Dragon Grunt. An all out battle ensues.

Jacqui and Cassie contemplate running yet again, Erron Black comes to their aid and implores them to fight their way out. Jacqui, not trusting him, punches Erron Black square on the jaw.

Kano and Mavado are fighting one on one. Kano gains the upper hand, and is about to blast Mavado's face off with his laser until a Red Dragon peon attacks Kano's cyber eye and damages it severely.

Meanwhile, Jacqui is still pummelling Erron Black while he's trying to reason with her. Kano then comes to his aid, and punches Jacqui. Jacqui and Cassie then flee. Kano takes the Portal Stone from Erron Black and subsequently betrays him by leaving Outworld without him, allowing the Red Dragon to surround Erron Black. As Kano leaves, he says to Erron that he could never be Black Dragon because he cares too much about people instead of looking to exploit them.

Mavado then taunts Erron and slashes him with two swords and ties him to the tree where Sonya, Johnny and the others find him in the present. Turns out, Cassie and Jacqui didn't run away and they're armed with machine guns. They fire at Mavado and the Red Dragon, killing most of them except Mavado. They run out of bullets, and Mavado then goes to attack them, commenting that Reiko wants them alive, but never said anything about in one piece.

Mavado dives at the two girls and misses. Jacqui subsequently gets behind him and holds him in place via a full nelson hold. Cassie proceeds to then kick at his knees and his leg snaps. Mavado helpless, continues to be held by Jacqui who tells Cassie to finish him. Cassie then grabs one of Mavado's swords and slashes him vertically from his groin all the way to his neck, intestines spilling out and Mavado subsequently dies.

Back to the present, Johnny and Sonya observe Mavado's body. Johnny is in disbelief, Sonya is proud of her girl. Erron explains that the remaining surviving Red Dragon took Jacqui and Cassie and gave him a message to give to Johnny, Sonya, and Kotal's crew.

"You are invited to Shang Tsung's Island".

Johnny and Sonya comment that Shang Tsung is dead, who is on the island? Erron reveals Reiko is hosted there by his spiritual advisor... Havik.

The scene then cuts to Havik on Shang Tsung's island holding a feast with Cassie and Jacqui captive and tells them to enjoy this prepared feast as it may be their last...


EDIT: I edited out Chapter 11, cuz I imagine everyone has caught up to that point. If anyone wants it back in, let me know.
