When a crack splits the sky above Gotham City, Batman is pulled into a bizarre and unfamiliar world, with no memory of who he is or where he came from…
As he fights to recall his past and escape an endless loop of chaos and struggle, he’ll come face to face for the first time with the likes of Renegade Raider, Fishstick, an Bandolier–as well as others who seem impossibly familiar to him. While the World’s Greatest Detective strives to make sense of this strange new world, he’ll uncover the shocking truth about the Island, what lies beyond the Loop, and how everything is connected to the mysterious Zero Point.
Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point uncovers secrets never before revealed in, the game or anywhere else! Every fan of Batman, Fortnite , stunning art ,and edge-of-your-seat excitement won’t want to miss the Caped Crusader facing off against Fortnite champions on the Island, in a desperate attempt to save not only himself, but other familiar faces from the DCU…and perhaps the Multiverse itself!

By September 7th, all my copies will have been sold…

But the irony is, for those who are patient… wait for the HC and spend $24.99 (almost as much as what some are spending on the codes or the first issue alone for) and you get all the codes. Haha… Patience is definitely a virtue…

Oh man of course! Definitely unloading my copies slowly over the next few months

Yeah, at least we know in advance. Sell anything you don’t want for your own collection ASAP.

The Amazon listing for it didn’t say this at all!! Argh. I’m done with DC

So much for waiting to sell sets. That hardcover may be in print forever

The code will be time limited though.

This code with the comics has made things quite messy. Is the comic any good?

monopolyjackson · April 25, 2021, 1:13am

No. The art and writing are garbage.

enabler · April 25, 2021, 1:58am

I don’t mind the art, but it’s a touch cartoonier than modern readers will expect. One of my LCS guys who likes almost everything said it was garbage.

I wouldn’t be worried about the hardcover. Issue 6 comes out 7/6 and the hardcover isn’t until 9/7. You’ll have plenty of time to sell sets.

What I would be worried about is that the Harley Quinn skin is the only code that is exclusive to the comics and it’s only that way until sometime in June. With that being the case it’s possible that you could get the armored Batman skin by buying all the items through the item store. I haven’t seen anywhere if the Batman skin is exclusive to the comics.

I originally was saving 10 of each book but dropped that to 5 with the news the other items were available in the item shop on release day.

Just some info in case it helps.
Looks like the Panini versions have codes too.
(Probably not an issue for folks in the US)
Issue 2 had a pre order date of 06/05/2021
