Chef José Andrés Will Return In ‘Meals To Astonish: Avengers’

Great news, your favorite Marvel Comics character — chef José Andrés — is back in action for a new one-shot, Meals to Astonish: Avengers #1 from Marvel Comics.

Picking up where Meals to Astonish: Spider-Man left off, Chef José and the Avengers will continue to celebrate the World Central Kitchen with a main story by Steve Orlando and Roi Mercado, as well as “a new installment of JEFF’S TABLE, stories from T.E.S.T. KITCHEN Infinity Comic by Michelin Star Chef Paul Eschbach and artist E.J. Su, and more—including the shocking debut of VENOMNOM by Jacob Chabot!”

“First Manhattan, now Las Vegas?! It’s an honor of a lifetime to get to team up with my heroes, the Avengers, for an even bigger battle in Sin City,” Andrés said of contining his collaboration with Marvel via press release. “Together with the Marvel Universe we are taking on the greatest mission of all…to feed the world!”

Added Orlando, “It was already an honor to work with Chef Andrés and welcome him to the Marvel Universe—but once we saw the Avengers working alongside World Central Kitchen to aid Manhattan…we knew we weren’t done! Just like Tony Stark—we caught the idea and went big with it! So now, we’re here to imagine how global aid could really work—side by side with Chef Andrés. The Avengers have finally met their match! A force that works just as hard to feed the world as they do to save it! Getting back in the room with the Chef and Marvel has been great—and dreaming up comic ways to feed the world is more than that, it’s a dream!”

Meals to Astonish: Avengers #1 hits stores on October 14, 2026. Check out the synopsis, solicit info and cover below.

World-class chef, restaurateur, humanitarian and educator José Andrés joins the Avengers! Tony Stark and José are headed to Las Vegas to debut their new disaster-relief technology when they’re attacked by Ultron! It’s up to José and the Avengers to save their tech—and the world!
