The fighting game genre is about as direct and straightforward as you can get. Two characters enter a ring, and only one leaves. With that in mind, it's always fascinating to see the complex mythologies and character histories that build up around these franchises. As large as the mythology and cast of characters driving the Mortal Kombat franchise has become, it makes perfect sense to expand this universe with a comic book and bridge the long gap between the 2011 reboot and this year's Mortal Kombat X.
