#MORTAL KOMBAT X COMIC MOVIE#

NetherRealm has been super gracious with letting us tell the best stories so we can tell. Image courtesy DC Entertainment IGN: How much say did you have in which characters you got to use for the comic? Kittelsen: A lot. And then from there, there are so many classic characters, but I'm really excited to introduce a lot of new characters to readers, too. Kittelsen: It's an opportunity to flesh his character out in new ways but keep him really true to himself. He takes a turn that we haven't seen before and we get to spend a little bit more time with him. IGN: Do you have a specific favorite character? Kittelsen: Scorpion! Scorpion is kind of the measure of all things in Mortal Kombat and in a lot of ways, this book pays that off because he is this really huge character. It took all the things I loved about the stories in the nineties and it made it all real, so I feel really honored to be able to contribute to that. I ended up working with them on Injustice when I was at DC, and they take their story so seriously that they brought so much more to the characters.

Kittelsen: I mean, I love the first movie a ton, but I think what the team at NetherRealm did in the 2011 game was absolutely awesome.

And for this to be my first book to come out is a pretty massive deal. I think every kid who grew up in the nineties should be a fan, in some way, shape, or form.

IGN: So, you're a big fan then? Kittelsen: You could say. IGN Comics: Mortal Kombat! How excited are you? Shawn Kittelsen: When I got the phone call, I ran around my house screaming 'Mortal Kombat!' at the top of my lungs.
