Marvel Comics is serving up another helping of superhero action with a side of humanitarianism this fall. Following the success of Meals to Astonish: Spider-Man #1, the publisher is once again partnering with internationally acclaimed chef José Andrés and his nonprofit organization World Central Kitchen for Meals to Astonish: Avengers #1, arriving in comic shops this October.

Rather than simply placing a celebrity chef alongside Marvel’s iconic heroes, the Meals to Astonish series highlights the real-world mission of World Central Kitchen, the nonprofit Andrés founded in 2010 to provide fresh meals to communities affected by natural disasters, humanitarian crises, and conflict around the globe.

This summer, Marvel Comics is dialing the chaos all the way up with Queen in Black, a new five-issue crossover event that promises a full-on cosmic clash — with Earth stuck squarely in the danger zone.

Written by Al Ewing and illustrated by Iban Coello, Queen in Black #1 launches a story that pits two of Marvel’s most formidable forces against each other: Knull, the God of the Void, and Hela, the Asgardian ruler of the dead. When these two collide, it’s less “battle” and more “apocalyptic inevitability.”
