The next phase of Marvel Comics kicks off in October with Marvel NOW!, and as teased at Comic-Con International 2012 the publisher will continue its Point One initiative even as it reshapes its entire line. Today, Marvel has provided CBR News with an exclusive teaser image for "Marvel NOW!" Point One illustrated by Adi Granov, featuring Marcus Johnson, AKA Nick Fury, Jr., tossing five dossiers at the reader. Four of them have questions marks, but the fifth shows an image of the mutant known as Cable. Marvel will presumably unveil which other characters Johnson has been keeping tabs on and who will "shape the Marvel Universe," as teased in the previous Marvel NOW! teaser.

[UPDATED: A previous version of this story showed only the teaser released at Comic-Con International.]

Marvel also released the following solicitation text for the Point One issue, revealing key creators in the NOW! initiative:
