Did you guys already know this and try to hide it from me?

Well I found it out! Taco Bell is giving away special Marvel Comics (reprints) with its Kids' Meals.

Marvel’s Taco Bell comics sport beefy creative teams
Posted on February 1, 2011 - 03:00 PM by JK Parkin


Uncanny X-Men First Class #5

Apparently at Taco Bell you don’t have to decide between food or comics (insert your own beefy lawsuit joke here). The fast food chain has teamed up with Marvel to provide four different comics with its kids meals.

According to Marvel, each book includes an 11-page story with a one-page Mini-Marvels backup story. Each cover is a reprint from an existing Marvel title. Looking at who’s doing the comics, it may be worth a run to the border; I’d brave a burrito for the team behind Atomic Robo‘s take on Iron Man vs. MODOK alone. (Speaking of which, colorist Chad Fidler posted some pages from the Iron Man comic online).

Here are the details:

X-Men

11-page story:
· Writer: Alex Zalben
· Artist: Tom Grummett
1-page backup by Colleen Coover
Cover by Roger Cruz, a reprint from Uncanny X-Men First Class #5


Fantastic Four

11-page story:
· Writer: Paul Tobin
· Artist: Craig Rousseau
1-page backup by Colleen Coover
Cover by Steve McNiven, reprint from Marvel Knights 4 #1.

Invincible Iron Man


from Taco Bell's Iron Man comic

11-page story:
· Writer: Brian Clevinger
· Artist: Scott Wegener
1-page backup by Colleen Coover
Cover by Brandon Peterson, reprint from Invincible Iron Man #2

Avengers

11-page story:
· Writer: Joe Caramagna
· Artist: Derec Donovan
1-page backup by Colleen Coover
Cover by Scott Kolins, reprint from Marvel Team-Up #4

I'm definitely getting those. Ironically, I worked three blocks from a Taco Bell until last week.

Are the comics 88% of the original size?

So I took a run for the border tonight. Very excited. They had the little display under clear plastic showing the comics.

I got no comics in my kids meals.

They're burning through some weird card sets first before they start on the comix.

:P

Now I gotta take the fam to Taco Bell AGAIN! :D

Wonder whether our local Taco Bell is going to participate?

I would like to say that I will be going to Taco Bell in order to get the comics, but the truth is I would have made multiple trips to Taco Bell anyway during this timeframe.

Has John Byrne explained yet why this is a bad idea?

Pizza Hut did something like this back in the early Ninties. If you eat at Taco Bell all the time (like me. Its my fave fast food joint) then its a deal. I wouldn't make a special trip for the books they're giving away.

I'm a hardcore Taco Beller. It is also my favorite fast food, national chain joint. I've got one of these comics (you have to get a kids meal).

It's probably my favorite fast food place too, because (depending on what you get) it's a bit healthier than a burger place.

Har!

A co-worker's son popped in (the boy's 6 or 7) and says to me "Hey, I went to Taco Bell and got one of those comics you told me about."

I said "Cool! What'd you get?"

He says "X-People? With that fire guy and invisible lady and..."

His dad says "Fantastic Four"

Kid says "Yeah."

:D
