The press release follows:

Media Release – Ready for seconds? Following the success of Meals to Astonish: Spider-Man #1, world-class chef, restaurateur, humanitarian, and educator José Andrés and his fearless team at World Central Kitchen continue their inspiring journey through the Marvel Universe in MEALS TO ASTONISH: AVENGERS #1, arriving this October.



The MEALS TO ASTONISH one-shots team up Chef José with Marvel’s greatest heroes for adventures that celebrate World Central Kitchen’s life-changing and impactful mission to provide food and nourishment to communities in crisis around the world. Following the main course by returning creative team Steve Orlando and Roi Mercado, MEALS TO ASTONISH: AVENGERS will also include 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!

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!

On expanding the scope of the Meals to Astonish one-shots, Orlando said “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!”

“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. “Together with the Marvel Universe we are taking on the greatest mission of all…to feed the world!”
