Calling all Marvel fans and food lovers, December brings a feast you won’t want to miss! Meals to Astonish #1 is on the menu, a special one-shot that not only collects the hit T.E.S.T. Kitchen Infinity Comic (from Michelin Star Chef Paul Eschbach and artist E.J. Su) in print for the first time, but also serves up brand-new stories from writer Steve Orlando, artist Ken Niimura, and more.
A New Adventure on the Menu
In the lead tale, Daily Bugle food critic Chet Chekowski teams up with photographer Peter Parker to cover the opening of a hot new downtown restaurant. But when Rhino crashes the party, Spider-Man and his allies must juggle saving the city and their dinner reservations. It’s a recipe for chaos, with plenty of superhero flavor to spare.
“For me, this project is kismet,” says Orlando. “Before comics, I worked in the wine and spirits world, so getting to combine Spider-Man with the food scene is a dream come true. These are the two arts I love most—and now they finally collide in a delicious way!”
Eat Like an Avenger
The collection also features the complete T.E.S.T. Kitchen story, following Chef Anna Ameyama, whose new food truck gets totaled in an Iron Man brawl. But when Tony Stark samples her cooking, he’s so impressed that he offers her the job of a lifetime: becoming his personal chef. The best part? Readers get Anna’s real-world recipes—courtesy of Chef Eschbach—so you can recreate Avengers-worthy dishes in your own kitchen.
Jeff the Land Shark Joins the Feast
Rounding out the book is “Jeff’s Table,” a culinary misadventure starring Marvel’s most lovable land shark. Jeff’s appetite and antics bring both chaos and charm to the kitchen, proving he’s as irresistible on a plate as he is on the page.
Featuring a cover by Giuseppe Camuncoli, Meals to Astonish #1 hits comic shops this December. Preorder now at your local shop—and get ready to dine Marvel-style. For more info, visit Marvel.com.
