I only inked and embellished this book over pencil art by Mike Zeck, but it's one of my best jobs, and the story is very good as well.

The moral conflict between being a villain but acting as the hero protagonist brings about an interesting introspection into Kraven's character. It's this inner fight that tries to carry the whole story on its back, and it does an okay job at illustrating the struggle. Unfortunately, this is one of those stories that suffers somewhat if the reader has a pre-existing expetation due to the books status as a 'must read'. It didn't quite reach the levels I was expecting, and I didn't find myself too...

Kraven, a long-time Spidey villain, decides that he will hunt Spider-man as apparently Spider-man is the last creature he's been looking to defeat. But he also wants to prove that he’s a better Spider-man than Spider-man – for some reason. That's pretty much the set-up but with a title like "Kraven's Last Hunt", something decisive is likely to happen like a death of sorts and seeing as the cover has Spidey climbing out of a grave, I'm guessing it's not him who pops it. So here follows a review w...

"There is no Spider-Man. He's a mask, a myth, a lie. Oh, sure - it'd be great if just putting on a costume could miraculously change the man underneath, but it can't. I'm not Spider-Man. I'm just . . . Peter Parker." -- the thoughts of Peter Parker, a.k.a Spider-Man, on pages 13-14A nostalgia re-read, I remember being shocked and then rocked back on my psychic heels when first encountering this storyline in the summer of '87. (I was only twelve years old at the time, and it was far more graphic

3.0 stars. One of the best Spider-man story arcs of all time. Kraven the Hunter is portrayed very well as a gifted, talented individual whose personal demons and psychological problems have led him to focus on Spidey as the cause of everything that has gone wrong in his life. A very good story-line and one I remember liking very much. Recommended!!!

OH MY GOOGLE THIS IS GOOD!!! Sorry had a bit of a geek seizure there, but i can't describe how good this is! So this book features Kraven, he's done it all, seen it all, all his life dreams fulfilled except for one thing, Spider-man... So Kraven decides that the only way to beat spider-man is to become Spider-man, that's all I'll say for lack of spoilers. The Artwork was so good, there were panels so well down that you didn't need dialogue to explain what's happening or what transformation a cha...

That creepy image of Spider-Man in his black costume rising from his own grave is enough to tell you that this won’t be your typical Spider-Man story. On its cover alone, this makes it an easy choice for my Halloween read number 2.This is a perfect melding of story and art, all beautifully done, from J. M. DeMatteis dark, psychological script, to Mike Zeck’s lush pencils and colors and Bob McLeod’s bold inks. What results is something sublime that I am at a loss for words. Multiple readings woul...

Three and a half stars.It had been a long time since I had read a good Spidey story : )

This is one of those iconic Spider-Man stories, every Spidey fan should check out. Long-time Spider-Man villain Kraven the Hunter is going off the deep-end. He drugs Spider-Man and dresses up as him, brutally beating up muggers and capturing Vermin, a rat-man coming up from the sewers to eat people. Did I mention this story is twisted and dark? It's got people being eaten by swarms of rats and people covered in spiders, so if you have musophobia or arachnophopia, you may want to skip this. I sti...

Why is Kraven so tortured by the spider figure? Everything in here revolves around that, but it is never explained, and how does he come in terms with it? and why did he wear the Spiderman suit? This is usually listed as one of spider-man´s best stories, and it has a couple of interesting things, but in the end it seems to be a lot about nothing. The small flashbacks make this story interesting, and in general it has a fast pace, but there are many gaps in the whole thing. I had seen Kraven in o...

Definitely one of the strongest stories involving Spider-Man This edition collects the storyline formally known as “Fearful Symmetry: Kraven’s Last Hunt”, originally published in “Web of Spider-Man #31 & 32, Amazing Spider-Man #293 & 294 and Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #131 & 132.Writer: J.M. DeMatteisIllustrator: Mike ZeckLetterer: Rick Parker (I wanted to highlight him too, since his work in lettering on this particular storyline was superb.) READER-SENSE TINGLING! I WANTED T

A classic Spidey tale from the true Golden Age of comics - the late 80's. All the best-remembered Spider-Man stories revolve around the death of a major character (Gwen Stacy, etc) and this is no exception. Kraven was a minor Marvel villain for years. In this final Kraven story, DeMatteis reveals him to be a tortured soul battling his own personal demons, which he projected onto his hapless foe: our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. In the end, Kraven wins the battle he was truly fighting and fi...

Kraven the Hunter, aware that he's getting too old for this shit, decides to go out with a bang. He drugs Spider-Man, beats the shit out of him, and buries him alive. Kraven, dressed as Spidey, goes on a rampage to prove he's better than Spider-Man, until Spider-Man digs his way out of the grave...The great thing about Marvel Unlimited is that you can finally catch up on some of the epic stories you missed when you were a kid. This one was pretty bad ass.In some ways, Kraven's Last Hunt is the p...

Kraven is tripping out on ayahuasca-type shit and still one-up Spiderman at every turn. This is a nightmarish version of Spiderman's world, for sure, and almost unpredictable in how it will play out. Well written. Action oriented. Very good.

This was like poetry in comic book form.Kraven is at his best here, and honestly I haven't read a better version of him by any other writer. Not that Kraven was ever written in any way that would excite anyone or interest that much besides a typical villain, but here, he's taking the role of the protagonist and just by the way he talks and the decisions he makes, he's clearly a depressed man who he only wants to prove something to himself and then be done with everything in his life.This one is

This is a story were one of Spider-man villains drugs him, buries him alive for two weeks and then takes it upon himself to dress up as Spider-man and fight crime while he is high as a kite. It's as awesome as it sounds and it's one of the greatest Spider-man stories ever.Kraven is a well established rogue for Spider-man. I wouldn't say he is A-list like Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus, but he's middle B-list material. I think his problem was that no writer had really done anything interesting w...

This is an amazing storyline of the friendly neighbourhood superhero. The art works so well with the environment set up by the writer. They both are so immersive that I felt like I was reading a motion comics. And another spectacular thing the writer has done is given us the thoughts going on in the characters' heads and especially that of Kraven.A must read book for Spider-Man fans

Great Spider-Man story. A dark Spider-Man story. Spider-Man gets defeated and tormented by Kraven the Hunter. He burries him alive and steals his identity, giving Spider-Man a bad name by being far more violent than ol' Webhead is. He also sets Vermin loose on the world.This all is part of Kraven's plan to die happily after defeating and replacing Spider-Man, becoming his superior in everything.I liked the art, it made me bump the Secret Wars omnibi to the top of my omnibus wishlist, because of

Spidey was a hero of my youth. His naïve optimism and freewheeling attitude appealed to me before real life had a chance to stuff it's bitter little realities down my throat. I will always have a soft spot for him, but I typically don't read much Amazing these days. Kraven's Last Hunt was a surprise for me. Bought it at a discount because I had never read the story and many have recommended it. It was certainly more to my tastes. Somber and dark, it's unique in the Spider-Man stories I've read.

Incredible. Absolutely incredible. So far, this may be the best comic I have ever read (although, after finishing this I began reading "Marvels," and that may become my favorite due to how stellar it has been thus far). If you are a Spider-Man fan, this is an absolute necessity. If you like Marvel in general, you owe it to yourself to check out "Kraven's Last Hunt." Without giving anything away that isn't told in the blurb on the Amazon page, Kraven the Hunter kills Spider-Man, buries him, and t...
