Fortnite is so big that we’re frankly bored of reperating how big it is. Epic constantly cranks away at the battle royale to make sure it makes all the money in the world, but what if they’ve already achieved that goal? What’s next? Well the latest event may give us the answer. With its Borderlands crossover Fortnite uses its lofty perch to just straight-up promote other video games now.
Fortnite X Mayhem is a new limited challenge included in Season X. In this Borderlands mashup players travel to a Rift Zone based on Pandora, the primary planet of Gearbox’s loot shooter. In Pandora you can spawn if a shield if you avoid getting hit. And you can get gear based on sassy robot Claptrap and the Psycho mascot.
Fortnite x Borderlands makes a certain amount of sense. Both shooters share a colorful irreverent tone, even if Borderlands pushes things towards M-rated Deadpool territory. But it’s the business potential that’s most interesting to us. Previous Fortnite crossovers advertised big movies like Avengers: Endgame and John Wick 3 right before they released. Advertising a big game though to an audience that already cares about game is something else entirely. Plus Borderlands 3 runs on Epic’s Unreal Engine and is an Epic Games Store exclusive on PC. Reminds us of the time PUBG included Uncharted skins for its PS4 release.
Fortnite X Mayhem begins September 10. Borderlands 3 releases on September 13. But no matter what game you play, we just hope we don’t need to see any more of Randy Pitchford’s magic tricks.

The Mind, The Loss, The Inevitable
Absolute Carnage vs Deadpool #1 honestly got me at loss for words. I literally clung onto my head-wrap yelling: “Wade, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” In which I realized, yeah you can love someone and absolutely be taken aback by their actions. The Tieri-Ferreira-Poggi team really knows how to capture a DP fan. If I wanted to put someone onto Deadpool comics, this would be one of my introductory choices. In Carnage vs Deadpool #1 we get the chaotic side of Wade where it’s so funny it’s absolutely nuts.
We get the Spidey and Deadpool duo swinging throughout the city and of course something goes wrong. This time it is purely Wade’s fault. You would think as partners in look-a-like super-suits that they would have an emotional connection so strong where your partner wouldn’t summon all of your enemies all at once and have them chase you down the city. Honestly this sends Spider man off edge (and rightfully so, because you can’t be out here running from ALL of your enemies). Spidey pushes Deadpool to get himself checked out and honestly this is where hell begins to reveal itself panel by panel.
This is where I realized that our Merc with a Mouth had much to lose…with a risk of nothing to gain
Deadpool walks into a mental hospital looking for recovery but instead he is runs into his destructive past. When poison taints your body, a layer of protection is created to keep it from taking over again. In some cases, it lingers, and much like what he did to Spiderman in the earliest part of the comic, it often comes flooding. In Absolute Carnage vs Deadpool #1 I learned that karma never fails and that the only way to protect yourself from poison, is to allow it to run its course and take it head on. The creative team gave this comic a cinematic feel with deep sharp cuts and even wittier clap-backs. With this, unfortunately it can be easy for readers to get lost towards the middle. The scenes reveal like a horror film. Releasing surprise after surprise, so it will be a fun read if you pay close attention.
What I hope to see in future issues is a better handle on the cuts as well as bumping up Deadpool’s intention. This would be a perfect time for the creative team to take advantage of the ideologies behind mental health, Deadpool’s instability and carefully construct a metaphorical representation of what it feels like to be consistently at war with something that made a home inside of you. (This plus avoiding the stereotypes of mental instabilities to not come across as insensitive, because mental health has so many more layers than just pain and hurting people you love, but I digress).
