Marvel crossing over with Fortnite in new comic adaptation
An article on Clutch Points reveals DC's not the only one collaborating with the makers of the Fortnite computer game to produce characters in both the game and in comic specials:
But if you're looking for a clue how poor the news site's grasp on history really is, look no further than the line where it's stated Marvel/DC never crossed over, despite having at least a handful of such collaborations since the late 1970s like Superman and Spider-Man, Batman and the Hulk, the Amalgam specials and even the JLA/Avengers crossover special from the mid-2000s. The reporter who failed to mention that should be ashamed. And I wish these news sites would quit lauding these computer crossovers until they start taking an objective view of the source material as it's handled in the modern age. There's just no reason to look forward to a computer game competition like this if the journalists covering it don't respect the zygotes. Besides, I'm honestly past the point where I could possibly care about such computerized fare anyway.
A new comic book series involving Marvel and Fortnite will debut this coming June. Brace yourselves for the upcoming five-part series titled “Fortnite X Marvel: Zero War”.And this time, there seems to be a significant difference in how the scripts are crafted, as opposed to the DC-based project:
Marvel and Epic Games recently unveiled different variants of the cover art for Fortnite X Marvel: Zero War. In one of the revealed cover arts, we can see three members of The Seven teaming up with Spider-Man, Wolverine, and Shuri. Apparently, The Seven made their way into the Marvel Universe in order to stop The Zero Point.
This wouldn’t be the first time that Fortnite made a comic book series appearance. Back in April 2021, DC and Epic Games made a collaborative effort to produce Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point. The story revolves around Bruce Wayne finding himself in Fortnite’s battle royale island and trying to escape the loop.Oh, please. In an era where much of what remains from Marvel has been reduced to an artistic shambles, why must we take this at face value? Only because these news sites are just so naive and superficial in their coverage. It doesn't take a genius to realize these computer game sites have no serious interest or worry in what goes on at the Marvel offices with the comics, whether under Quesada/Alonso/Cebulski. And that's why this whole "crossover" between video game and comic casts comes across as more insulting to the intellect.
The main difference between Fortnite’s comic book crossovers with Marvel and DC is that Fortnite never goes to the DCU. This is why Fortnite X Marvel: Zero War has a very interesting plot. It makes us curious about how The Seven would fare with the Marvel Superheroes.
Another interesting take on these collaborations is the possibility that Marvel and DC actually co-exist in one universe. Fortnite has ties with the MU and DCU and is very active in crossing over with each universe. With that being said, somehow because of Fortnite, the two comic giants are actually connected to each other now. Marvel and DC never crossed over in their respective comic book series. However, due to Fortnite having a connection with both, it’s possible both universes exist in one timeline. Plus, technically both universes have already crossed paths with each one in Fortnite’s battle royale island. Who knows? Epic Games might end up pulling some strings to make this fanboy fantasy a reality.Oh wow, as somebody who might myself be willing to self-describe as a "fanboy", all they do is insult my intellect. If the comics are faring so badly from an artistic viewpoint, how can I look forward to something like this that's not a substitute? At this point, it's enough to say they owe fanboys and fangirls an apology. Yet in a way, both the Big Two publishers do co-exist in one universe: one where many of the same modern writers/editors/artists approach the material with equal contempt, and have hit a monstrously low point where the comic properties are exploited for political agendas. Which, as expected, Clutch Points won't acknowledge.
