Customer Reviews
A classic in Spider-man mythology
This may well be my favorite Spider-man story of all time. This has always been regarded as a fan favorite and high water mark for Spider-man tales and definitely as dark as his adventures have ever been. The story is phychologically gripping and frightening. Most of it is seen through the eyes of Kraven the Hunter who is spiraling into severe madness. The art from premier artist Mike Zeck is spot on in this dark, gothic tale. If you are new to Spider-man and are looking to explore some of his past great stories, or just looking to re-read a classic... you found a winner.
Magnificient
"Kraven's Last Hunt" is a true masterpiece of the comic book medium, and it still stands as the best Spider-Man related graphic novel to date.
This story alone should be proof enough that J.M. DeMatteis was the best author to ever be put on the Spider-Books, and the artwork by Mike Zeck complements the writing wonderfully.
This a book that must be read by all those interested or seeking an interest in comics, and of course all those interested in the greatest superhero of them all, the amazing Spider-Man.
The mysterious yet exhilerating gloom of "Kraven's Last Hunt" makes for one hell of an entertaining read, supported by spotless characterization and an incredible insight into the minds of Peter, Mary Jane, Vermin, and of course, Sergei Kravenoff, the man known as Kraven The Hunter.
There's no question about it, this one's a must own.
Kraven is done playing!
I read this story when it first came out as a cross-over storyline spanning all the Spider-man titles at the time. I was hooked! I eagerly awaited the next instalment till it came.
This brings the story together (four or five issues worth) in one book.
It's hard to tell for whom to root for. The knee-jerk reaction, of course, would be Spidey. But yet, Kraven The Hunter, for a villian had both honor and integrity. You gotta respect that!!
The story is told from both Spidey and Kraven's point of view.It shows what's on the mind of Kraven. And that is COMPLETELY defeating Spider-man.
Without spoiling the ending, the reader is left asking themselves "Who REALLY won??"
