Call all Marvel fans and food lovers and December brings you a feast you won’t want to miss! The meal to surprise #1 is on the menu. This is a special one-shot that not only prints the Hittest Kitchen Infinity Comics (Michelin Chef Paul Eschbach and artist Ejuso) for the first time, but also offers brand new stories from author Steve Orlando and artist Kennii Mura.
New Adventures in the Menu
In Reed’s story, Daily Bugle Food critic Chet Chekovsky works with photographer Peter Parker to cover the opening of a hot new downtown restaurant. However, when the rhino crashes the party, Spider-Man and his allies need to save the city and save dinner reservations. It’s a chaotic recipe and there’s plenty of superhero flavor to spare.
“For me, this project is a kissmet,” Orlando says. “Before the cartoons, I worked in the world of wine and spirit, so combining Spider-Man with the food scene is a dream come true. These are the two arts I love most.
Eat like an Avenger
The collection also features a complete test kitchen story following chef Anna Amayama, where the new food trucks are combined in Iron Man’s brawl. However, when Tony Stark samples her dishes, he was so impressed that he offers her a lifelong job. Become his personal chef. The best part? Readers get Anna’s real-world recipes in Chef Eschbach’s course, allowing them to recreate Avengers-worthy dishes in their own kitchen.
Jeff the Land Shark joins the East Feast
Finishing this book is “Jeff’s Table,” a culinary unfortunate adventure starring Marvel’s most adorable land shark. Jeff’s appetite and antics bring both chaos and charm to the kitchen, proving that he is as attractive to the plate as he is on the page.
It features a cover of Giuseppe Kamunkoli and will be eating at the #1 hit comic shop that surprised me this December. Pre-order now at a local restaurant and get ready to eat Marvel style. For more information, please visit marvel.com.
