Spider-Man Meets Dwayne Johnson's Foundation In Fortnite X Marvel First Look
Fortnite's next comic book crossover will be with Marvel, featuring Spider-Man and more heroes joining forces with The Rock's Foundation.
Marvel continues its relationship with Epic Games with a brand new Fortnite comics crossover featuring a dynamic meeting between Spider-Man and Dwayne Johnson's Foundation, the island's newest defender. Following the successful Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point miniseries with DC Comics, Marvel Comics is following suit with their own miniseries (complete with digital rewards with every issue). Now, Marvel and Fortnite have revealed an exciting first look at Fortnite x Marvel: Zero War.
Fortnite's relationship with Marvel truly peaked with Chapter 2, season 4 being released as an entire season dedicated to Marvel characters and locations, culminating with a massive live event known as the Nexus War where players came together to fight the World Devourer known as Galactus. While that season kicked off with a digital one-shot comic, Fortnite x Marvel: Zero War will be the first true miniseries with physical issues and digital rewards, just like DC's Batman/Fortnite series which was released in April of 2021. It will also be coming from the same writing duo as well with Christos Gage and Epic Games' Donald Mustard.
Thanks to a new first look from Marvel Comics, Spider-Man is confirmed to be taking center stage alongside Wolverine and Shuri, searching for a crystallized fragment of the Zero Point that has come to the Marvel Universe. The series will also feature the Foundation whom Fortnite recently revealed is played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Now, new artwork from artist Sergio Dávila features a look into the past with the defeat of Galactus, the massive kaiju versus robot battle from Fortnite's first chapter, and Spider-Man himself meeting the Foundation while also storming a bunker. Here are the new pages along with the cover art from Leinil Francis Yu:

It looks as though Spider-Man and his allies with be teaming up with the Foundation's team known as The Seven, including Agent Jones as well as the newest member who goes by the name The Imagined (who was officially revealed in Fortnite's brand new Chapter 3, season 2). While the Foundation has already teamed up with Batman in the Batman/Fortnite: Foundation #1 one-shot, it seems to be Spider-Man's turn to team up with The Rock, defending the island from Doctor Slone and her IO forces while searching for the powerful Zero Point fragment.
While there's no word yet as to what kind of digital rewards will be included with each issue of Marvel x Fortnite: Zero War, the story alone should be pretty exciting. This first look indicates that more lore from the island's past will be revealed all while Marvel heroes work with The Seven to save the island's residents in the present. At any rate, it's going to be pretty exciting to see The Foundation working with Spider-Man following his recent team-up with Batman in the previous Fortnite comics crossover. Marvel x Fortnite: Zero War #1 will release on June 8th.
