Before and after Malibu had a crack at a Mortal Kombat comic series, Midway did a few official comics based off of 1, 2, 4 and an unreleased one for Deception as well. The first 2 comics were advertised in their respective games' Attract Modes. There is also a comic that focused on the beginning of Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.They serve to fill in backstory details about the games as best as possible although their canonicity is generally safe, though somewhat light. The Deception Comic in particular makes little sense unless you read the associated characters' bios for more insight to the characters' plots.This is not to talk about the Mortal Kombat comics made by Malibu Comics. they will instead be discussed here. The Mortal Kombat X comics are also discussed in the game's page. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Mortal Kombat (Midway) (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: In the MK4 comic, Sindel punishes Reptile for his services in Shao Kahn's name by sending him to eternal labour in the cobalt mines of Shokan, a location commonly seen in Mortal Kombat: Conquest. | |

Magic from Technology | |
| Mortal Kombat (Midway) (Comic Book) / int_3298415e | comment |
Magic from Technology: In between the events of 3 and 4, it seems Sonya Blade and the rest of the Special Forces were able to use technology to achieve what Shang Tsung and other Outworlders did with magic: Such as opening portals with a nuclear generator. Kokonoe would be proud. | |

| Mortal Kombat (Midway) (Comic Book) / int_4160410d | comment |
Damsel in Distress: The last sequence of the first game's prequel comic has Shang Tsung's guards capturing Sonya Blade and some of her Special Forces teammates. The comic then ends with a "to be continued... in the Arcade game". | |

Paper-Thin Disguise | |
| Mortal Kombat (Midway) (Comic Book) / int_48b9731f | comment |
Paper-Thin Disguise: Quan Chi claiming to be from a realm called "Treche." As in "treachery." Said realm being besieged by a warlord named "Shil Kaad" (Literally "Shao Kahn" with a few letters changed.) To Sindel's credit she does seem skeptical at first (having never heard of such a realm or its invader before) up until Quan Chi offers her a pretty orb that completely catches her attention. | |

| Mortal Kombat (Midway) (Comic Book) / int_7276d0de | comment |
Mugging the Monster: During the voyage to Shang Tsung's island, Kano picks a fight with Johnny Cage, believing the actor to be a creampuff who relies on stuntmen. Johnny refutes this notion by laying out the criminal with his Shadow Kick. | |

Badass in a Nice Suit | |
| Mortal Kombat (Midway) (Comic Book) / int_9fbe06a5 | comment |
Badass in a Nice Suit: Our very first introduction to the younger Sub-Zero in the MKII comic? Seeing the guy in a business suit happily offering Lin Kuei calling cards to Liu Kang and Kung Lao. He dons his more familiar ninja garb soon after, though. | |

My Card | |

My Card: In one of the series' more surreal moments, Sub-Zero is seen offering his Lin Kuei business card to Liu Kang and Kung Lao in 2. According to it the clan has contacts in Hong Kong, Madrid and Paris. | |

Interquel | |
| Mortal Kombat (Midway) (Comic Book) / int_b6203862 | comment |
Interquel: The Deception Comic acts more like an in-between from the end of Konquest Mode and Onaga's release to the beginnings of several character's plotlines, including Frost's burial, Mileena being released by Baraka, and Noob discovering a deactivated Smoke. | |

Interrogated for Nothing | |
| Mortal Kombat (Midway) (Comic Book) / int_bf455b89 | comment |
Interrogated for Nothing: After the first tournament, Johnny Cage finds himself adrift in the ocean when he is found by the Special Forces. Jax then interrogates him rather ruthlessly about Sonya's whereabouts, only to then find a video where Kano has her hostage, completely vindicating Johnny. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Mortal Kombat (Midway) (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: As if Scorpion's parallels to Ghost Rider couldn't be more obvious enough, the comic of the first game has him grab Sub-Zero by the robe and demand he "look into (his) eyes" in an almost lawyer-baiting imitation of Ghost Rider's Penance Stare. Said splash panel has a huge flaming skull in the background. | |

Continuity Snarl | |
| Mortal Kombat (Midway) (Comic Book) / int_df582b0b | comment |
Continuity Snarl: To its own game even! The MKII comic has Scorpion immediately protect Sub-Zero from Reptile's attack and declare himself Sub's protector as restitution for killing his older brother, this event taking place before the main game plotline, yet the game has Scorpion not taking up this vow until his arcade ending. | |

Early-Bird Cameo | |
| Mortal Kombat (Midway) (Comic Book) / int_f0089082 | comment |
Early-Bird Cameo: Sub-Zero is at one point seen giving a command to otherwise-unknown secret character Smoke in the MKII comic, essentially showing them to be fellow Lin Kuei, which was confirmed by later games. A red ninja can also be seen in the same panel, and these days many a fan can be forgiven for believing it to be a human Sektor. | |
