So there I was, waiting for my Mortal Kombat hook up to send me the last episode this week, it didn’t come.  What did come was this disappointing news; Kevin Tancharoen announced on Twitter last weekend that the finale piece to his prequel Mortal Kombat: Legacy web-series would not be airing on YouTube on Monday at midnight as the previous eight had. Instead, the last webisode will be premiered at the San Diego Comic-Con, July 21-24th.

We have been showing each episode weekly here on CoF, a revitalized Mortal Kombat franchise which started online last year with the Rebirth trailer, featuring Jax and Sonya Blade. Warner Bros. didn’t want to back a feature film, so they gave the go to make a nine-episode web-series.

The Machinima YouTube Channel premiered the series on April 12 and has been gaining millions of views in the process.  So now we wait 6 weeks for Episode 9,  “Cyrax and Sektor”, and perhaps a big announcement from Warner Bros. regarding the franchise?  Tancharoen did leave us with this image of Cyrax’s mask his Twitter and it looks awesome.
