Marvel NOW! is a 2012 relaunch of ongoing comic books published by Marvel Comics, scheduled to debuted in October 2012 with new #1 issues.
Publication history
Marvel Comics first announced the launch of Marvel NOW! in July 2012. Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso described it as "the next chapter in the ongoing saga of the Marvel Universe". "From October through February, we’ll provide at least one great reason for readers—old, lapsed or new—to go into a comic store each week: a new issue #1, featuring an exciting new creative team and driving concept, that’s an easy entry-point into the Marvel Universe. Each and every one of these launches is built to last." Marvel Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada stressed that its not a reboot but a shifting of the Marvel Universe following the events Avengers vs. X-Men. Quesada explained that there will be "a lot of changes to the character status quos, alter egos, costumes, creator shifts, design shifts, the way that we do our covers, digital shifts and the way we start delivering our books". The first titles announced were Uncanny Avengers by the creative team of Rick Remender and John Cassaday, All-New X-Men by Brian Bendis and Stuart Immonen, Avengers by Jonathan Hickman and Jerome Opena, and New Avengers by Hickman and Steve Epting. This was followed by the announcement of Iron Man by Kieron Gillen and Greg Land, Thor: God of Thunder by Jason Aaron and Esad Ribic, and Indestructible Hulk by Mark Waid and Leinil Yu.
