[Gambid]

In chapter 8 of the Mortal Kombat X comics a battle with an unexpected outcome is approaching as Goro and Rain are preparing to face Kotal Kahn:

In an act of desperation, Kotal Kahn resorts to dangerous blood magic to take down the insurgents. But will it be enough to finish Outworld's champion?

Now lets take a look at several preview pages from the chapter:

In addition to this a description about the upcoming chapter nine and a cover art is now available:

Sonya's back--and she wants her daughter! Meanwhile, Kano recounts his last encounter with Sub-Zero.

Fellow Mortal Kombat fansite Kamidogu has interview Mortal Kombat X comic book writer Shawn Kittelsen:

Kamidogu: When did initial planning for the Mortal Kombat X comic series begin? How did you score the gig?

Shawn: I pitched the book back in April 2014, and landed the gig in May. Outlining the first year of the series took us into the summer, but by August I was working on scripts. So it’s been a journey!

Scoring the gig was a combination of luck and hard work. I’d worked with NetherRealm Studios on the story for Injustice: Gods Among Us a few years ago when I was a creative executive at DC Entertainment, and that was an incredible experience. When it came time to recruit a writer for the MKX series, I was lucky enough to land on their list, but as a relatively unknown writer, I knew I had to prove myself. Writing the pitch was an intense process. I poured everything I had into it. And luckily, it paid off!

The story's going really good and I really liked this issue, except the fact that Rain is killed. I wanted to see him in MKX and now he's dead. I know that in his core, he was just a joke character, but he turned out to be an awesome character and one of my personal favorites. And even in MK9 he came as a DLC character and wasn't really a part of the story (and why? Just because he wasn't featured on any of the arcade versions of MK1-UMK3? Nonsense). Other then that, the story is awesome, the conflicts between the characters are great and the so are the fights. I'm not sure what's gonna happen with Goro now that he's arms have been ripped (although he is a DLC character, so maybe he won't be a part of the story mode).

As for the interview, great read, thanks for that.

When we last saw Rain in the comics, he was still alive. Shawn Kittelsen actually tweeted that Rain is still alive. So, lets not jump to conclusions yet.

I hope you're right, I really wanna see Rain in the game.
