Will it ever end? Why did these comics go on for so long? Thankfully I was spared by this only being a 3 issue mini-series. It is the most ridiculous piece of crap I have ever read. I’d rather read the other comics in the series again than read this just once. It just doesn’t make any sense, were the writers on crack? This isn’t even Mortal Kombat anymore!
It starts out with Goro just appearing on Earth for no reason. In Blood & Thunder, he just disappeared in the middle of a battle, just an excuse to create another series. He shows up to two cops on duty, that’s fine and it makes sense. He beats them senselessly and kills them, which also makes sense. Then a talking crow comes into the scene. What. The. Hell. There are no talking crows in Mortal Kombat! It doesn’t end there, he then meets a talking Spanish magician named Zaggot. WHY?! That’s not even lore friendly! This magician is the god of chaos and his brother is the god of order. Why are they magicians and why do they not even look like something that belongs in Mortal Kombat? Zaggot is apparently older than Shao Kahn himself and has gathered so much chaos energy that he takes the best from every Mortal Kombat character and creates one big one. That sounds kind of original, but why does it look like Goro with the Terminator’s head?! What in God’s name were they thinking?
I’m sorry, they weren’t. Later, his brother gives Goro a giant magical mini-gun and then he starts making Duke Nukem-style jokes. WHAT?! He mows everyone down with a machine gun and then Zaggot dies. Why are the writers trying to make the bad guys try to turn good and then suddenly go bad again? This is the stupidest comic series I have ever read, do yourself a favor and just stay away. Everyone still talks in the third person narrating their own actions, and the writing is still very juvenile and lame, and everyone looks like blobs!
