newuniversal is a comic book series by writer, Warren Ellis; artist, Salvador Larroca, and colorist, Jason Keith. The book series was published by Marvel Comics. The series is a re-imagining of Marvel's New Universe concepts, launched to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the New Universe's creation in 1986.

As with the original New Universe, newuniversal is set in a world where several people suddenly develop superhuman abilities. However, where the New Universe began with the 'real' world as its starting point, the world of newuniversal is already markedly different.

Newuniversal imagines concepts and characters that were introduced as part of Marvel's New Universe series during the 1980s. The New Universe was a set of eight linked titles launched in 1986 to celebrate Marvel's 25th anniversary, and championed by Marvel's editor-in-chief Jim Shooter. The New Universe comics were not a long-term success, with four titles canceled after a year, and the entire line canceled by the end of 1989.

The original New Universe initially had no links to the Marvel Universe shared setting and did not present traditional superheroes. Instead, it offered "the world outside your window", a world that was identical to the real world in every respect until it was suddenly changed by the mysterious White Event, an incident that gifted some humans with inexplicable powers.

Ellis has stated that he doesn't "think the original creators and editors realized until it was too late—it was all a single story. It shouldn't have been eight books (or whatever) that were eventually consolidated into ensemble miniseries. It was a single story that should have spun new series and serials off of it". Ellis has taken this approach to newuniversal, with his first storyline intentionally revolving around the four lead books of the original New Universe - Justice, Nightmask, Star Brand and Spitfire and the Troubleshooters. Among the many changes that newuniversal presents is that the four main characters all possess extra-dimensional glyphs that grant them their powers. Also, the character Spitfire (Professor Jenny Swensen, later known as Chrome), becomes Cipher (Dr. Jennifer Swann).

Artist Salvador Larroca has stated that he "wasn't a big fan" of the original New Universe, while Ellis has mentioned that he "paid little or no attention" to the New Universe books when they were first published.
