‘Meals To Astonish’ Cooks Up A Stew Of Food-Focused Marvel Tales

Meals to Astonish #1 crop

This December, Marvel is cooking up a heady stew of superhero tales to feed your cravings with Meals to Astonish #1. The one-shot will collect the T.E.S.T. Kitchen Infinity Comic by Michelin Star Chef Paul Eschbach and artist E.J. Su, as well as brand-new appetizers (sorry, stories) by Steve Orlando, Ken Niimura, and more.

“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 said via press release. “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! This is the kind of story I’ve been waiting for–and I can’t wait for folks to dig in!”

Meals to Astonish #1 hits stores on December 3, 2025. Check out Giuseppe Camuncoli’s cover and the synopsis below.

DINE INTO A BRAND NEW ADVENTURE!

Daily Bugle food critic Chet Chekowski and intrepid photographer Peter Parker are headed downtown for the opening of a brand-new world class restaurant! But when Rhino interrupts the festivities, it’s up to Spider-Man and his friends to save the day – and their dinner! Plus more heroic adventures that are sure to satisfy your every craving!

Then, experience the T.E.S.T. KITCHEN INFINITY COMIC, which follows Chef Anna Ameyama whose dream of running her own food truck has finally come true—until it’s crushed into collateral damage during an Iron Man fight! But when Tony Stark tastes the deliciousness he just devastated, he offers her a new job: as his personal chef! The best part? Anna’s recipes (created by Michelin Star Chef Paul Eschbach!) are included so you’ll see how surprisingly easy it is to eat like an Avenger right in your own home!

Finally, take a seat at JEFF’S TABLE! He’s captured the hearts of fans, now he’s going to win over your stomachs! Discover a Land Shark’s appetite as Marvel’s most adorable super hero gets into a mess in the kitchen!
