Non-Downloadable Items for Fortnite x Marvel: Zero War #3 Revealed

Published Thu, 07 Jul 2022 14:58:12 -0500

A lot of Fortnite players have been wondering lately: what are these weird paper books with pictures in them featuring the characters from those Marvel movies that are crossing over with Fortnite? These are called "comics," and they're sort of the old-school, analog version of video games that, along with most of their readers, are from the 1900s. And believe it or not, there are a lot of similarities between the two. Just like Fortnite attempts to bilk its players for as much money as possible with zillions of microtransactions, comics do the same thing. But instead of offering useless downloadable items in exchange for real-life money, comics offer something equally as useless but at the very least tangible: variant covers. And now, Marvel Comics has revealed all of the covers for the upcoming Fortnite x Marvel: Zero War #3.

And we're going to show them to you! But first, you have to read this press release:

Fortnite and Marvel heroes are currently fighting alongside each other to save both their universes from total annihilation in the pages of FORTNITE X MARVEL ZERO WAR, a new limited comic series written by Christos Gage and Epic Games' Chief Creative Officer Donald Mustard and drawn by artist Sergio Davíla. Fans who witnessed last month's explosive debut issue and are gearing up for the second issue next week can now check out all six covers of FORTNITE X MARVEL: ZERO WAR #3, on sale August 17!

FORTNITE X MARVEL: ZERO WAR #3 will see the hunt for the Zero Shard continue into the Savage Land. Artists Francis Leinil Yu, Peach Momoko, and Ron Lim have brought the upcoming battle to life while artists Frank Cho and Carlos Pacheco depict exciting new Fortnite team ups with Storm, Hawkeye, and more! Plus, Derrick Chew delivers a romantic piece of one of Marvel's most iconic couples, Rogue and Gambit, who debuted on the Fortnite Island earlier this year!
