Prior to reading this book, the amount of information I know about the video game Fortnite probably couldn't fill a thimble. It's a multi-player video. Players dressed in a array of crazy costumes are dropped onto an island. Last person standing wins and the victory nets big awards like customizable skins, power ups and weapons!
The amount of information I know about Batman could fill a web page. Like this one!
When a mysterious storm hits Gotham City, Batman is called to investigate. Sucked into the storm, Batman finds himself trapped on a seemingly deserted island. That is until some madman with a funky looking axe attacks him!
Unable to speak and without a memory as to who he is, Batman must rely on his ingrained instincts in order to survive. But every 22 minutes, time resets and the Dark Knight finds himself back at square one. Being stuck in a time loop is a challenge in on itself. Sometimes Batman explores the island. Sometimes, he fights for his life in a battle royale.
Hmmm... That female warrior in the catsuit with the whip looks oddly familiar. If only the Batman could forge an alliance with her.
Wow. Just, wow! I've never played Fortnite before. But I wanna! Thanks to the special code included in this book, I might have a great start if I do become a player! But, I also want to know the rest of the story.
I'm not going to spoil how this story ends. But a whole DC Comics/Fortnite series of comics is set up with this 6-issue series. Plus, there just might be some superstars from other franchises that show up on the island. You'll just have to read for yourself.
I've seen that Spider-Man has just become a playable Fortnite character. Comics fans have been clamoring for a new Marvel/DC crossover. Could Zero Point be laying the foundation to that much desired reunion of the Big Two publishers?
We'll see!
A fantastic mystery story by Christos Gage (Netflix's Daredevil). It's quintessential Batman. Yet it is also a Fortnite story that is perfect for the uninitiated. Epics Games made the wise decision to partner with DC Comics and Batman in order to reach out to those of use who otherwise might have looked the other way with a third-person shooter game.
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 10 out of 10 stars.
