But when RHINO interrupts the festivities, it’s up to SPIDER-MAN and his friends to save the day — and their dinner!
ALSO: JEFF’S TABLE debuts! This issue also collects the T.E.S.T. KITCHEN infinity comic in print for the first time!
Next month, experience a heroic adventure that’s sure to satisfy your every craving in Spider-Man: Meals to Astonish #1! The first-of-its-kind one-shot will deliver a story by writer Steve Orlando and artist Roi Mercado that sees Spider-Man team up with a real-world hero—Michelin-starred and James Beard Award-winning chef, restaurateur, and humanitarian, José Andrés, alongside his fearless team at World Central Kitchen! Spider-Man: Meals to Astonish #1 will be the first in a series of one-shots this year celebrating José’s life-changing and impactful work to provide food and nourishment to communities in crisis around the world.
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!
Check out covers by Mike Mignola, Giuseppe Camuncoli, and Peach Momoko and preorder Spider-Man: Meals to Astonish #1 at your local comic shop today! And stay tuned in the coming weeks for another announcement for what’s next for Meals to Astonish and World Central Kitchen!

THE SECRET ORIGIN OF SARA GREY Protecting the cosmos as PHOENIX, Jean Grey has experienced near-limitless mystery and wonder – a universe of perpetual possibility! But nothing so magnificently unexpected as this: Her sister, SARA GREY, has returned to life. Murdered by the Phalanx many years ago, another in a long line of Greys to lose their lives in untimely, violent ways, Sara nonetheless stands before Jean, alive and well. But – when?! Why?! How?! All of these are questions worth asking. And Jean Grey probably should. Needless to say…this would be a very different story if she did.
