There are plenty of returning fighters in Mortal Kombat X — it just wouldn't feel like a proper Mortal Kombat game without characters like Sub-Zero, Raiden and Scorpion.
That said, there are plenty of new characters in the game, too — some have ties to classic characters, others are completely new. The only problem is that fans haven't gotten to see much of them — outside of a few short trailers, gamers have yet to see what these new fighters can really do.
That's where the Mortal Kombat X comic comes in. While fans might not have the game quite yet, the comics serve as the true introduction to the new characters. Trailers only offer a glimpse, but the comic has had plenty of time to really show off the new fighters. The series is still ongoing, and is written by Shawn Kittelsen with art by Dexter Soy, Veronica Gandini, and Igor Vitorino.
So, if you're worried about going into the game blind, fear not: here's everything you need to know about Mortal Kombat X's new fighters.
