Fortnite's Marvel Comics Include Free Skins And Cosmetics, Leaks Say

gamespot.com:

The upcoming comic crossover between Marvel and Fortnite may offer more than just a new story, if a recent social media leak is to be believed.

Back in February, Marvel announced Fortnite X Marvel Zero War, a collaboration between Epic Games' battle royale and the comic book titan, debuting June 8. One month later, special variant covers for the series were announced featuring characters from both sides of the collaboration. Now, news has broken that these variant covers may be teasing new skins and other cosmetics that players can gain through purchasing the real-world comics.

Free cosmetics for each Fortnite/Marvel comic issue: — Outfit (Comic 1) — Wrap (Comic 2) — Pickaxe (Comic 3) — Spray (Comic 4) — Loading Screen (Comic 5) You'll receive an additional OUTFIT if you redeem all of the codes!

According to prominent Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR on Twitter, the line of comics will offer players a special cosmetic with purchase of each of the five issues including a skin in issue 1, followed by a wrap, pickaxe, spray, and loading screen in issues 2-5 respectively. An extra skin will also be available, according to the leak, to every player that redeems all five codes.

Around the same time, Hypex--another prominent Fortnite content creator--shared more variant covers from the upcoming series, including one showing off a character that Fortnite has not yet seen: Spider-Man 2099. While Peter Parker--the original webslinger--has appeared in his comic book and Tom Holland form in recent months, we have yet to meet Miguel O'Hara on Fortnite's island. If these clues pan out, that may be changing by the end of the summer.
