Superman vs. Meshi Vol 1 Manga – DC Comics

In-Store Date: September 5, 2023

Superman vs. Meshi Vol 1 is DC Comics' English edition of the Japanese gourmet manga that asks a simple question: what does the Man of Steel do on his lunch break? The answer is fly to Japan and eat.

Written by Satoshi Miyagawa with art by Kai Kitago, the series follows Clark Kent as he slips out of Metropolis to sample real-world Japanese dining, from conveyor-belt sushi and beef bowls to family restaurants and convenience-store snacks. Every chapter is a lovingly rendered food tour, occasionally joined by Batman, Wonder Woman, or the Flash as dining companions. It is a warm, funny riff on Japanese food-travel shows starring the most famous alien on Earth.

This 160-page trade paperback is printed in authentic manga format and reads right to left, with translation by Sheldon Drzka. Kitago's art alternates between cartoonish comedy and mouth-watering food illustration that has made the series a hit with readers well outside the usual superhero audience. Volume 1 of the ongoing series.

Perfect for manga readers, foodie comic fans, Superman completists looking for something different, and anyone who enjoys food manga like Delicious in Dungeon or Isekai Izakaya. All ages. New and unread.
