‘Meals to Astonish’ #1 Offers a Marvel-ous Comic Feast
Get ready to savor the flavor of heroism! Marvel’s Meals to Astonish #1 hits shelves December 3rd and brings the fan-favorite T.E.S.T. Kitchen Infinity Comic from Michelin-starred chef Paul Eschbach and artist E.J. Su to print for the first time. Plus, dig into more brand-new adventures from writer Steve Orlando, artist Ken Niimura, and others!
The book’s first story follows food critic Chet Chekowski and Peter Parker on a culinary trip at the debut of a top-tier restaurant downtown. However, Rhino crashes the party, and Spider-Man swings into action to save the evening — and the meal.
“With my own secret origin, working in the wine and spirits world before comics stepped in as my main gig, MEALS TO ASTONISH feels like a perfect moment of kismet,” Orlando shared. “The chance to write a Spider-Man adventure set in the food scene is one I could never pass up -- the two arts, the two worlds I love the most are finally colliding in a delicious and exciting way!”
Readers are then treated to the T.E.S.T. Kitchen Infinity Story where we meet Chef Anna Ameyama, whose food truck dreams are shattered — literally — when Iron Man is battling to save the day. But after tasting her culinary skills, Tony offers her the opportunity to become his personal chef. The comic features actual recipes crafted by Michelin-starred Chef Paul Eschbach, allowing you to dine like an Avenger wherever you are.
Rounding out the book is “Jeff’s Table,” a story featuring Jeff the Land Shark causing the cutest commotion in the kitchen.
