Marvel NOW! continues to bring new titles to the Marvel Universe including Uncanny X-Force, New Avengers, Savage Wolverine, Young Avengers, Morbius, and Superior Spider-Man. Unlike the New 52, Marvel NOW! continues with present continuity and brings a fresh take on the characters. However many of the stories seem to take advantage of the Marvel Studios films. The storylines seem to be more movie driven to see which characters will be placed into the forefront. Superior Spider-Man will likely run for 12 issues until Marvel relaunches the Amazing Spider-Man #1 to tie into the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 2014. The upcoming Marvel Studios film Iron Man 3 which brings both the Mandarin and the Iron Patriot to the forefront within both the Marvel (Secret Avengers) and Ultimate Universe (Ultimates). Thor will be taking center stage with the upcoming Thor: The Dark World film in late 2013. Brian Michael Bendis introduces comic audiences to the Guardians of the Galaxy before the 2014 film which leads into Avengers 2.

The characters which seem fresh are the ones without any upcoming films. Indestructible Hulk by Mark Waid and Leinil Francis Yu, Superior Spider-Man by the original Amazing Spider-Man team including writer Dan Slott, and All-New X-Men by Brian Michael Bendis are three titles worth picking up.
