Fortnite has become such a hegemonic presence in popular culture that anyone would think we’ve been jumping out of planes, falling into battle, and having all kinds of crazy crossovers for decades. But no, we’ve only been playing for seven years, during which it has had time to become the cornerstone of any somewhat aggressive marketing campaign. And it shows no signs of stopping.
Make Mine Fortnite!
At Marvel they were not just going to settle for starring in a couple of events and offering tons of skins in the game, of course not: in addition, they have launched several crossovers in the form of comics like Zero Conflict or Nexus War. And the idea must have been a success, because now they present several comics that will have, as alternative covers, various crossovers between characters and sagas.
These will be Peelverine (Wolverine and Peely), Meowtooth (Sabretooth and Meowscles), Captain Jones (Captain America and Agent Jones), and Ghost Ri-Durr (Ghost Rider and Durr Burger), a frankly good play on words. For now, it has remained on the covers, but if anyone doubts that they are already planning the crossover comic with the hope that, someday, these characters will end up in the video game, think again. All for Fortnite.
