Tch!  How many of you MK fans out there have seen the comic book?  It was  
put out as a one-shot by Midway [I just posted information on how to order  
a copy if you're curious by now.  If  Midway hasn't sold out, then they  
should still be available through Nov. 1, 1993].

   I ordered it a long time ago & liked what I saw.  Certainly, the story  
is a lot more complex and more "real" than issue #1 of the Malibu SF II  
comic book [just out in the stores].  Some of the characters weren't drawn  
to match their images on the game screen [both Sonya & Liu Kang have funky  
new hairstyles, for example] but overall the art was quite clean.  Nice  
color, too.
    I came across a rumor by Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine's chief  
rumormonger, Quartermann, that Malibu might do a monthly MK comic book.  I  
haven't heard anything more since, though.   Q-mann has been wrong before  
[one of his most recent mistakes was to declare the SF II comic book dead  
a month before issue #1 came out].  What do you think?  Would anyone out  
there like to see an  MK comic book [with or without John Tobias drawing  
it]?  
   A curious side tangent... the premise of MK, as the comic describes it,  
of course, is that Shang Tsung successfully corrupts a Shaolin martial  
arts tournament.  A Chinese friend of mine has insisted that this is pure  
fiction because even if the Shaolin were to hold a tournament, it would  
*never* be corrupted.  I am more of a pessimist, holding firmly to my  
depressing belief that absoultely anything is vulnerable to corruption...

..anyone out there with more knowledge about the Shaolin in real life?
