All of DC Comics’ Absolute titles have been swinging for the fences. The line, featuring classic characters reinvented for a darker universe than the main DC timeline, has been packed with stellar work. This past Wednesday, though, the final pages (or… page?) of Absolute Martian Manhunter #1 took things to a whole new level.

Mortal Kombat has invaded Fortnite, introducing its characters and locations into the Chapter 6 Season 2 map.
