“With my own secret origin, working in the wine and spirits world before comics stepped in as my main gig, SPIDER-MAN: 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! This is the kind of story I've been waiting for—and I can't wait for folks to dig in!”

In addition to the main story featuring Andrés and World Central Kitchen, fans will be able to experience the T.E.S.T. KITCHEN INFINITY COMIC for the first time in print! The story 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!

Following that, readers will witness the return of the most delicious hero in the Spider-Verse in a new SPIDER-RAMEN adventure by Gustavo Duarte that will leave your mouth watering for more!

And finally, True Believers can take a seat at JEFF’S TABLE, a new Jeff the Land Shark series by Gustavo Duarte! Jeff has 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 makes a mess in the kitchen!
