Mortal Kombat X (Comic Series)

The Mortal Kombat X Comic is a series launched and published by DC Comics in association with NetherRealm Studios, serving as a prequel to its namesake game.

Following the smash success of the online Injustice: Gods Among Us comics series, Mortal Kombat X is a digital first title, seeing the contents of the comic broken down into multiple chapters before a physical copy is released. The digital chapters can be purchased at either https://www.comixology.com/ or https://www.readdcentertainment.com/ for .99 cents a chapter, while the physical copies will sell for $3.99.

The storyline of the comic takes place after the events of Mortal Kombat's rebooted timeline, and follows the events of both featured characters in Mortal Kombat X and characters from Mortal Kombat's long history, showing their place in the new timeline and revealing their ultimate fates.
