[[caption-width-right:300:[[{{Tagline}} You thought you knew the whole story...]]]]

'''Marvel NOW!''' is the 2016 relaunch of Creator/MarvelComics, set in the wake of their massive ''ComicBook/CivilWarII'' crossover event earlier that summer. It's also a {{spiritual successor}} to the original ComicBook/MarvelNOW relaunch of the same name, as well as one to 2015's ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentMarvel.

As was the case with its predecessors, Marvel NOW! is not a {{continuity reboot}}; instead, new books will be published, while existing titles/characters may be refreshed with new creative teams and status quos. According to Marvel editorial, the conclusion of ''Civil War II'' will lead to shocking new developments within the MarvelUniverse, and [[NothingIsTheSameAnymore nothing will be the same anymore]].

While the full extent of Marvel NOW! isn't yet known, but its tagline and logo tease [[{{Retcon}} a few wrinkles]] thrown onto existing Marvel concepts, similar to the shocking reveal in ''[[ComicBook/NickSpencersCaptainAmerica Captain America: Steve Rogers]]'' that [[spoiler:ComicBook/CaptainAmerica has been a sleeper ComicBook/{{HYDRA}} agent all along]]. Regardless, a free previews magazine dedicated to the initiative will be offered to customers in mid-July, with more details spilling out over the duration of ''Civil War II''.

Some titles and characters confirmed to be getting some emphasis during Marvel NOW! include:
* Continued prominence of [[ComicBook/MsMarvel2014 Kamala Khan]], [[ComicBook/TheFalcon Sam Wilson]], Moon Girl, ComicBook/BlackPanther, ComicBook/MilesMorales, and [[Comicbook/TotallyAwesomeHulk Amadeus Cho]]
* Creator/BrianMichaelBendis and Michael Gaydos reuniting for a new ComicBook/JessicaJones title
* ComicBook/KateBishop headlining her first solo title
* The [[DevelopmentHell oft-delayed]] ''ComicBook/{{Gamora}}'' by [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Nicole Perlman]]
* [[ComicBook/AllNewGhostRider Robbie Reyes]] returning in some capacity


Compare to 2016's ComicBook/DCRebirth, a similar relaunch of Marvel's [[Creator/DCComics distinguished competition]].

----
!! ''Marvel NOW!'' (2016) provides examples of the following tropes:
* LogoJoke: Likely teasing a few shocking developments to come from this relaunch, the "NOW!" part of the logo (lifted from 2012's ComicBook/MarvelNOW) is smashed and distressed.
* NewSeasonNewName: Yet another "seasonal" relaunch of the entire Marvel Comics line, meant to serve as a jumping on point for new readers.
** Subverted in the sense that they've already used the name "Marvel NOW!" for an earlier initiative, but in a different context (''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen'' fallout).
* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: Marvel's favorite promise as of late (regarding their frequent relaunches) applies here.
