The upcoming deep dive into the art of the iconic Mortal Kombat series is almost here, but fans now have some previews to enjoy, as well as a look at the official cover art. The new look at the book from Insight Editions and developer NetherRealm Studios was spotted on retailer listings, giving players a taste of what is to come.
With the full title of Mortal Kombat: Flawless Victory: A Visual History of the Iconic Series, the over 300 page book is set for release on October 21st, but up until now, there was only had a placeholder image available. This has now changed, with the reveal of a simple cover design with the title and focus on the series logo as seen below.
Mortal Kombat: Flawless Victory will showcase the visual history since it took over the arcades in 1992, highlighting the early artwork of the brutally violent series from then until now. As well as this, readers will learn about the games through interviews with the teams that work on them. Ahead of its release, preview pages have been released that give us a look at what they can expect from the book when it arrives in October.
The first preview is a look at various titles throughout the series long history, indicating that it will not focus on just one era. The second spread gives readers a look at some insights and sketches for the '92 release, the beginning of the 'Klassic Era', with the third diving into creating the Goro with stop-motion. It's clear this is more than just a printed art gallery, but also a glimpse behind the scenes of the creation of the titles too.
The final 4 previews shine the spotlight on the character art, beginning with Scorpion and his various looks across the different titles in the series, with this spread including his look for Mortal Kombat II, 3, 4, Deadly Alliance and X. Next is some character lore and concept art for Mileena from Mortal Kombat 1, then insights to the Mortal Kombat story with more artwork, and finally a look at the Netherrealm ruler, Shinnok.
These last 4 spreads indicate that the book may not be divided the entire way through by each game, but that there seems to be a character section too that collects designs across many years of releases. This is a good way to show how each of them has evolved over time, especially for those that have been with Mortal Kombat since the very beginning.
Between this book and the upcoming release of Mortal Kombat: Legacy Collection for PlayStation, Xbox, PC and Nintendo, fans old and new can enjoy the legacy of the franchise more than 30 years since it introduced people to its deadly characters and gruesomely fun and violent Fatalities.
