Mortal Kombat Online has espoused the importance of comics to Mortal Kombat for quite some time - all the while knowing there may just be something in the pipeline. The long wait finally ends with DC Comics announcing a brand new Mortal Kombat X series at this weekend's New York Comic Con!

We first learned of a change in action figure licensing back at July's San Diego Comic Con, where Mezco Toyz teased their pending 2015 merchandise [full story]. Three months later - the toy makers are showing off their initial designs at New York Comic Con!

As we saw with the release of the Mortal Kombat X Announce Trailer in June - the 10th instalment of MK is a global phenomenon! This was highlighted by a packed weekend campaign that saw NetherRealm Studios scattered across the globe for live events in: Russia, Australia & Mexico!

The major story across all events was the trailer reveal of Quan Chi! The returning fighter has been displayed in demo builds in each country, bringing fresh mysteries with him! These are a few of the top stories coming out of Igromir 2014, EB Expo 2014 & Electronic Game Show Mexico!

Before the announcement of Mortal Kombat X, minds were understandably narrowed on the events of Mortal Kombat 4. The plot of the first three games was retold by Mortal Kombat (2011) -- heavily implying the next in sequence with a story mode cliff-hanger schemed by MK4 antagonists: Quan Chi and Shinnok.

Much remains a mystery about the plot of the 2015 sequel, or how the new history of MK2011 will play-out across MKX's 25 year timeline. The grim predicament left by a slaughter of heroic mainstays could force some surprising twists, but this isn't exactly unchartered territory. The worst outcome has always been a presented option for MK - as forewarned by a tradition of hypothetical arcade endings.

From sequel to sequel, it's typically been the heroes whose possible outcome is made canon. Over the course of Deadly Alliance and the sequels that followed, we learned it was mostly the MK4 heroes' endings that had a role to play in shaping the on-going saga. Liu Kang was victorious for a fourth consecutive event - defeating fallen Elder God Shinnok; Raiden was briefly appointed Elder God; Lt. Sonya Blade survived Jarek's aggressions, and Scorpion discovered the truth behind his spectre's curse - plunging Quan Chi into a dogged pursuit through the Netherrealm.

As Mortal Kombat Online continues to shift some of its extensive video archive to YouTube, we revisit the past of MK4 to ponder what would've happened if it all went horribly wrong. At a glance, MK4 proposes two realities -- the one we've experienced, and a darker alternative where heroes perished and evil won. Could this alternate ending influence the course of MKX? We'll find out April 14, 2015.

Classification looms large over the 2015 DE release of Mortal Kombat X, but that hasn't stopped Germany delivering major European coverage. Gamescom 2014 delivered interesting new details, after Kano made his first confirmed sighting in den Seiten der deutschen GamePro. Last week GameStar kept the good times coming with a rash of new screenshots featuring: Raiden, Sub-Zero, Ferra/Torr, D'Vorah & more!

From the Palace Gates of Shang Tsung's Island to the desolate Marketplace of Outworld -- we celebrate a contest called Mortal Kombat! With the reveal of Mortal Kombat X stoking the fires of anticipation: Ermac was chosen by the community to be 2014 Supreme Mortal Kombat Champion!

The soul-man may have proved he can go it alone, but the perils of kombat sometimes require even the strongest fighter mount a team effort! Throughout decades of Mortal Kombat we've seen the forging of many deadly alliances! It remains to be seen if Mortal Kombat X will incorporate the 2-on-2 Tag Team Kombat of the previous game, but because fans demanded it - we once again bring together 16 powerful pairings to crown the ultimate two-man champions!

During the first Tag Team Tournament we pooled teams from all of MK history to celebrate the 20th Anniversary! This time around we're drawing inspiration from Mortal Kombat (2011) and the team-ups that may lie ahead in the rewritten, unrevealed alternate future. More tournament details follow:
