I have and it's actually pretty good.
It includes a lot of stuff that was in the original script but had to be cut out of the movie. One of those things being a bad ass Goro fight.(It's kind of a tear jerker)
And gives quite a nice bit of depth to the characters that had to be left out of the movie due to pacing.

Wow, I really wasn't expecting a positive review :P

But that makes me even more excited to get it. I've read a bit about it and I like that it visits the 500 year old MK tournament with the Great Kung Lao. You don't hear anything specific about that tourney anywhere in the main MK canon.

Does it have Art Lean in it? I loved that guy for some reason.

Yes. The one where Scorpion is a korean guy who inhabits his sons body.

.....Wait, what?

Exactly why I want to read it... completely fucking up the canon.

Still hasn't come yet. I'm hoping it will be waiting for me tonight.

There are two different novellizations of the first movie. One of them is up on the net wholesale. Forgot which. The one I have mentioned featured that Scorpion who eventually helps the heroes fight Goro.


And it is canon. Not cannon.

Yes it has Art in it and there is also little more bro development with him and John if I recall correctly.
And he is payed a little respect from Goro before he is finished.

Yeah, canon.
