The Mortal Kombat series has had its lows. Very deep-in-the-fires-of-the-Netherrealm lows. There was a moment, between “Heroic Brutalities” and do-it-yourself fatalities, when even Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon had to know things weren’t going according to plan. Seeming to confirm this notion, Mortal Kombat maker Midway would declare bankruptcy and close its doors in 2009, leaving the bloody MK legacy in a state of limbo. Warner Bros eventually bought the series rights and assets, and after a year at the drawing board, the newly-formed NetherRealm Studios would re-introduce Mortal Kombat to us all, with a re-energized Ed Boon at the helm. It was, against all odds, one of the greatest turnarounds in the genre’s history.
