Like why was Scorpion human again, which Sub-Zero was that, what was the Netherrealm War... there would be some spoilers from the game, too many actually.

To be honest, there was something in that issue I found a bit annoying, but I just can't figure out what it is, since everything that happenned was looking so nice: Kenshi - one of the best MK characters ever - had a son who Scorpion - many times considered the best MK character ever - raised and trained; the Shirai Ryu were back (though not for long) and last but certainly not least, Hsu Hao was killed.

The MKX comics in general were also great in that they showed us some of every character in the plot, including the ones with minor roles, something the game itself failed miserably to do. I'm talking about guys like Erron Black, Ferra/Torr and Ermac. And of course, they made sure the "not so favorite" characters like Hsu Hao had well deserved deaths that will keep them from doing anything in the new timeline. In resume, that's very good. I agree with everything you said, aside from the 3D Era characters having "well-deserving deaths". They all deserve a second chance. They just weren't good in the post MK3 games because the story department on Midway was becoming terrible. Now that Boon has fully control over what he wants, they all could have meaning and badassery bestowed upon them (just see what they made with Stryker and Nightwolf in MK9).
