Midway has released a little video showing komic book artist Alex Ross as he kreates the Kollector’s Edition kover for Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. Alex talks about his kreative process as we see a speed painting of Alex designing the sweet looking kover.

I’m not much for special editions, but damn that cover looks sexy. Plus, the Kollector’s Edition comes with a few extras, such a 16-page comic book. Well worth the extra $10. Are you planning on buying the Kollector's Edition?

Be sure to check out the gallery as we have plenty of new screenshots and renders of some of the characters appearing in the game. Mortal Kombat vs. DC will be out this November for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Well that's it kids. That sealed the deal for me. I will be getting the limited edition of MK vs DC thanks to Alex Ross.

Dammnnnnnnn that is amazing

But I'm 100% sure Alex Ross has drawn Superman in that exact pose about 1000 times.

Alex Ross = Win.

It's just a cover but the fact that it's done by one of the best artists in the comic book business really shows that Midway is taking things a bit more seriously than I though.

Alex Ross is God. No, for real. Only Chuck Norris is above him, and that´s only because Ross doesn´t kick ass (his paintings do). This has DEFINITELY sealed the deal. I was getting the game anyway, but seeing the extras and of course the cover... welcome bankruptcy!!!

Well, I live in Mexico so there are only two issues: I don´t know if the Kollector´s Edition is arriving here, and how much its gonna cost. Since I did a trip to the US just for the MGS GameStop limited edition, I should do the same... a plan is forming...

Damn, that's a nice cover. Both versions deserve to get that. Shame I wasn't planning on picking this up, but hey, maybe I'll find the Kollector's Edition lying around down the line.

That cover is awesome! The Joker fatality was already enough for me to get this game now I have another.

I've always liked Alex Ross' art style, his picture of Joker and Harley Quinn, in particular, is one of my faves. Anyone who likes this should check out the "Kingdom Come" graphic novel which Ross was the illustrator for.

Kreating the Kollector's Kover.

Erm... Yeah, I think I'll just sidestep that one.

10 dollars more for a sexy cover? I'd get that. Even though there's no way it'll be as good as Street Fighter IV or Tekken 6, I'm still picking this up. It looks like a hell of a lot of fun.
