Marvel NOW! is the 2016 relaunch of Marvel Comics, set in the wake of their massive Civil War II crossover event earlier that summer (Well, at first). It's also a spiritual successor to the original Marvel NOW! relaunch of the same name, as well as one to 2015's All-New, All-Different Marvel.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 Marvel Universe, and nothing will be the same anymore.While the full extent of Marvel NOW! initially wasn't known, its tagline and logo teased a few wrinkles thrown onto existing Marvel concepts. Regardless, a free previews magazine dedicated to the initiative was offered to customers in mid-July, with more details spilling out over the duration of Civil War II.After Secret Empire ended, yet another relaunch of the line happened in September 2017: Marvel Legacy.

comment
Darker and Edgier: Doctor Doom's Iron Man armor invokes this with a black and gold armor similar to Tony's Mark 40 armor, but adds in talons similar to how Otto Octavius gave Spider-Man's costume them for his Superior Spider Man run. Lee Price, the new host for the Venom Symbiote counts as this to Flash Thompson, who lost it after being ambushed by the FBI. Lee is self-serving and pragmatic to the core, and ambitiously plans to use the Symbiote's power, while keeping it a secret that he has it, to get himself good with Black Cat's gang as a starting point for who knows what. His personality/disposition, background, and military training also gives him the willpower and means to dominate the Symbiote's influence, and at a point where the Symbiote, coming off a lengthy tenure with Flash, doesn't want anything to do with the kind of behavior that Lee condones and exercises.

New Season, New Name: Yet another "seasonal" relaunch of the entire Marvel Comics line, meant to serve as a jumping on point for new readers. It's subverted in the sense that they've already used the name "Marvel NOW!" for an earlier initiative, but in a different context (Avengers vs. X-Men fallout).

Late-Arrival Spoiler: The first issue of Infamous Iron Man reveals that Tony Stark dies in Civil War II. Made even worse due to Bendis' Schedule Slip with Civil War II causing said event to occur AFTER Infamous casually dropping it in the beginning. Subverted in that he doesn't die but instead is put into a coma, and the characters who talk about his death have no way of knowing that.

Back from the Dead: Mattie Franklin was last seen during the Grim Hunt arc, where she was murdered by the Kravinoffs. She unexpectedly returns in Silk, several years after her death. Considering that this coincides with The Clone Conspiracy, this is actually a case of cloning. Richard Rider is also back from the dead.

Status Quo Is God
 Marvel NOW! (2016) (Comic Book) / int_a6e8221e
comment
Status Quo Is God: Played with in regards to Venom. Despite so much changing, the symbiote is back on earth after its sojourn with the Guardians of the Galaxy and Agents of the Cosmos, and back to a look resembling its classic design. However, its time with Flash has made the symbiote want to strive to be as good as he was, after being separated from Flash in hitherto unknown circumstances. Seeking a new host who was a soldier like Flash, it bonds with a down-on-his-luck former military man named Lee Price in the middle of a mob exchange gone wrong , only to find out that Lee is an ambitious opportunist who decides to subtly but pragmatically make use of his newfound powers to get what he feels he deserves out of the world. So Venom may be back on earth, and it may be back to a design more akin to its original look, but it's not the symbiote who's corrupting the host, but the host who's corrupting the symbiote... at least until the symbiote reunites with its most famous host, Eddie Brock. In the wake of Dead No More, Kaine loses his augmented spider-powers after the Inheritors killed the Other, while Ben Reilly returns as the Scarlet Spider.
