Fortnite x Marvel Comic Miniseries Launching June 2022
The Marvel Universe collides with Fortnite again!
This summer, Marvel and Fortnite fans can prepare for another unforgettable interdimensional battle with FORTNITE X MARVEL: ZERO WAR #1 kicking off in June!
Following the success of the 2020 crossover, FORTNITE X MARVEL – NEXUS WAR: THOR, the upcoming mini-series in collaboration with Fortnite will feature some of Marvel’s greatest heroes including Spider-Man, Wolverine, Iron Man and Shuri. The comic’s story follows the islanders who are locked in what appears to be an endless war, and only one thing has the potential to turn the tide: a crystallized fragment from Ground Zero that was thrown into the Marvel Universe. Spider-Man and Wolverine team up with Shuri and several Fortnite fan favorites to hunt down the elusive Zero Shard. Can these allies find him in time and avoid disaster? And can the heroes of Marvel and Fortnite realities hold out the Imaginary Order long enough to give them a fighting chance?
Veteran Marvel writer Christos Gage (SPIDER-GEDDON, AVENGERS ACADEMY) is teaming up with Epic Games Chief Creative Officer Donald Mustard and artist Sergio Davíla (CAPTAIN MARVEL) for a comic book miniseries in five parts with huge ramifications for both universes! Each first print issue contains a redeemable code to unlock a bonus digital cosmetic in Fortnite.
While working on FORTNITE X MARVEL: ZERO WAR, Alanna Smith, Editor-in-Chief of Marvel Comics, says, “At heart, the series is an adventure story, with characters from both universes coming together to go on a treasure hunt. into the deepest, darkest depths of the Marvel Universe. Smith continues, “Donald Mustard and Christos Gage have such deep love for Fortnite and Marvel, and Sergio Davíla is turning some absolutely unreal pages. Having the amazing Leinil Francis Yu on the main covers and a killer lineup of Marvel artists on the variants was a real treat, too. It will be the ultimate team, where the best of Fortnite and Marvel will be represented.
Fans looking to score more in-game items should make sure they’re signed up to Marvel’s premier digital comics subscription service, Marvel Unlimited. For a limited time, paying subscribers with a registered account who have read all five issues will unlock a code for an additional cosmetic in Fortnite! All five issues of FORTNITE X MARVEL: ZERO WAR will be available on the app as soon as the final issue is released in stores.
The five issues of FORTNITE X MARVEL: ZERO WAR #1 will be released from June and will be available and translated worldwide. Readers who purchase first printings of the book in-store will receive the cosmetic items for free in Fortnite (and be the first to receive them!). One week after the release of each book, the cosmetics will be available in Fortnite’s in-game Item Shop. More details on in-game items will be shared at a later date.
