Comics crossing over with the world of food and chefs has been a popular thing lately. Marvel launched Meals to Astonish in August 2025 (which had the same cover as Spider-Man: Meals to Astonish) as a spin off of the T.E.S.T. Kitchen Infinity Comic which itself had releases going back to 2022. DC Comics launched their own Taste of Justice in 2024 and José Andrés was even a part of it in 2025.
In Spider-Man: Meals to Astonish, Peter Parker heads downtown to photograph the opening of world-class chef José Andrés’ brand-new restaurant at New York’s famous Mercado Little Spain but soon finds it crashed by an insatiable villain: Electro! The electric fiend came prepared for Spider-Man, so José must chip in with Spidey to save the day—and everyone’s dinner!
In addition to the main story featuring Andrés, 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-starred 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 Ken Niimura 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!
