The world and lore of Mortal Kombat were created by artist John Tobias with the games programmed by co-creator Ed Boon.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Blood and Thunder has an issue 0 but that collects stuff that was printed elsewhere. Also be sure to turn off "Stable Volume" in the video settings because it makes the audio sound funky.
