Thrust into a bizarre, inhospitable world far from home, the all-new, high-adventure, mind-melting, tough-as-nails, sci-fi, pulp-fantasy era of Captain America is NOW! With no country and no allies, what’s left for the Sentinel of Liberty to protect? The Saga of Dimension Z begins here!


CAPTAIN AMERICA #1

Four adults. Two kids. One "car." NOW! begins a journey through all of infinite time and space.


FANTASTIC FOUR #1
MATT FRACTION (W) • MARK BAGLEY (A)
Sketch Variant by JOE QUESADA





Hulk - Indestructible force more weapon than man. Banner – smartest man alive. Combined they are the Strongest, Smartest Weapon on the planet! And NOW! the INDESTRUCTIBLE HULK is an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.!


INDESTRUCTIBLE HULK #1
MARK WAID (W) • LEINIL FRANCIS YU (A&C)
Sketch Variant by JOE QUESADA





Tony Stark—Iron Man: Technological visionary, wealthy playboy, unparalleled engineer, and armored Avenger. His greatest invention becomes his greatest mistake. Iron Man must act fast…and Tony Stark must build faster! The lethal techno virus Extremis is out in the wild and out for grabs to the highest bidder! It’s up to Tony Stark to contain it and that means creating a new suit of armor…NOW!


IRON MAN #1

Sketch Variant by JOE QUESADA





Throughout the ages, the gods of the Marvel Universe have been vanishing, their mortal worshippers left in chaos. NOW! the Mighty Thor follows a trail of blood that threatens to consume his past, present and future selves. The only hope for these ravaged worlds lies with the God of Thunder unraveling the gruesome mystery of the God Butcher!


THOR: GOD OF THUNDER #1 & 2
JASON AARON (W) • ESAD RIBIC (A&C)
Sketch Variant by JOE QUESADA





It’s a blast from the past as the original five students of Professor X – Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Iceman, Angel and Beast – are plucked from the past and brought to the present. But what they find, the state that their future selves are in and the state of Xavier’s dream, is far from the future they dreamed of. And how will the X-Men of the present deal with their past coming crashing forward?


ALL-NEW X-MEN #1
BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS (W) • STUART IMMONEN (A&C)
Sketch Variant by JOE QUESADA

StealthPWNAGE - 9/15/2012, 4:10 PM
@MisterNiceGuy I always do! xD
jimoakley666 - 9/15/2012, 4:11 PM
The Cap one looks great.
DioFoRio - 9/15/2012, 4:12 PM
@Luckylu,,,in the new Marvel Now...when the Hulk transforms his crotch stays as Banner's.
Asterisk - 9/15/2012, 4:13 PM
I like Cap's suit...
StarkAnthony - 9/15/2012, 4:42 PM
I'd like to bring attention to what spiderman209 said - $4.99 cover price?!?
MutantEquality - 9/15/2012, 5:08 PM
I'm just not sure how I feel about Hulks new hair do.
MutantEquality - 9/15/2012, 5:08 PM
Oh look, Thors wearing a helmet.
boulton666 - 9/15/2012, 8:13 PM
WTF is with those new pop up ads obscuring the images? Cant CBM do something about those?
laughterman26 - 9/15/2012, 9:35 PM
no deadpool....sigh
sKeemAn - 9/15/2012, 10:40 PM
Nice, Hulk looks like he's taking a major biot, but I like it. A poster with color would be nice
sKeemAn - 9/15/2012, 10:42 PM
"Boot" or shit if u can relate
FriendlyNeighborhoodSpidey - 9/15/2012, 10:47 PM
I don't really like what Joe has done with certain characters' stories in the past, especially spidey, but he is a good artist. That being said, I don't like all these designs. The Captain America costume looks good, like something that could almost be used for Cap 2, but I hate the way Hulk looks.

quesada is always quality
lokibane2012 - 9/16/2012, 2:50 AM
say what you will about OMD, the guy's a fantastic artist.
Name - 9/16/2012, 3:58 AM
This is talent right here.
GoILL - 9/16/2012, 10:24 AM
Always loved his art my main problem with him is that One More Day bullshit.
xstryker - 9/16/2012, 12:00 PM
F*** Bendis, F*** "All-New X-Men".
Foolkiller - 9/16/2012, 12:24 PM
$4.99? Is that a variant thing or is that the new price? If that is the new price Marvel Now is my jumping off point for quite a few titles.
Shit Cap cover. Shit update...
niknik - 9/17/2012, 6:02 AM
I'll second that. Shit and shit. Kneepad Chinstrap Cap looks terrible and Hulk's armored undies and little robot buddy are as laughable as Miss Thing.

Who comes up with this lame crap and who in charge says "That's fantastic!. Now we can charge 5 bucks a book!"???

You are an absolute idiot if you go out and plunk down 5 bucks for this crap. You deserve to get ripped off.
CampBlood - 9/17/2012, 9:40 AM
whats with the honeycomb on caps suit
LOL exactly niknik...exactly!
comicstocode - 9/18/2012, 5:02 AM
Quesada Sucks! Cherry picking piece of garbage. 5 bucks a book because they slap all the tech savy s*%# to their books. Marvel apps and behind the scenes self gratifying crap. Way to go Quesada you are a genius on the edge of innovation. Slap yourself!
