Spider-Man: Kraven's Last Hunt - Deluxe Edition

Product Information

After "killing" Spidey, Kraven becomes Spider-man for a while(!) by killing criminals instead of stringing them up with web fluid which in his mind makes him a better man because...? Also he doesn't have web shooters or can climb on walls so I don't see how he's Spider-man at all, he just has the outfit. The last one worth reading is “Hunting The Hunter,” which was surprisingly decent. It’s Kaine vs Kraven. This is a novelization of the graphic novel, based on the comic run, Spider-man Kraven’s Last Hunt. I know this is a "trait" of Peter Parker in the comics, that he blames himself for everything that goes wrong, no matter what. He feels he is responsible for every death, for every injury, that happens around him. He feels that every bad thing that happens in the world somehow can be traced to some action he took or failed to take. However, it does not translate well into a prose/novelized format. His constant "poor me/false martyr" symptoms are so annoying and appear to be nothing more than pathetic pleas for attention. There has to be a better way to present his feeling responsible for everything. There are some quintessential Spider-Man tales everyone Spider-Fan should read. This is one of them. Four out of five stars.

The electrifying horror story of “Kraven’s Last Hunt,” and make no mistake, this is a horror story through and through, is given its charge through the psychological suffering of each of its characters. Kraven’s madness and grief over a life of failure. Spider-Man’s torment of the grave and nearness of death. Vermin’s shattered mind and fear of the human world. And Mary Jane’s anguish over a new husband that has suddenly gone missing. Prematurely Marked Grave: On the covers, we see a grave marked for Spider-Man with either an empty tomb or Spidey himself rising from the ground, showing that he is far from dead. Esta historia está muy bien narrada, y aunque nuestro vecino favorito no sale mucho físicamente está siempre presente en la obra. Icónica es la imagen de Peter saliendo de la tumba en plena tormenta, como también lo es el final de la obra.

Then there's the third main character, Vermin, who's an obscure villain that's a rat/human experiment gone wrong who murders/eats women at night. In a previous story arc Spidey and Cap spent an entire book taking down this character; his inclusion in this book is simply for Kraven to defeat him as easily as he did Spidey thus making him “better” than Spider-man (what a dumb character!). But really Kraven defeats both characters far too easily to convincingly claim that he’s a “better” anything, it’s just plotted in this contrived fashion to give the character some validation before getting rid of him. J.M. DeMatteis planned to use a whole new villain for this story, which wasn’t so odd if you think in similar storylines where a new villain is able to beat a relevant superhero like Doomsday and Bane were able to do against Superman and Batman. Action Film, Quiet Drama Scene: There's a small but incredibly powerful moment where, after reuniting with Mary Jane, Peter stands on the windowsill in the pouring rain, then pauses and takes Mary Jane's hand in his and holds it up to his face, before swinging out into the night after Kraven and Vermin. Its execution, however, is anything but simple. The inner dialogue is broken up into opposing perspectives. A third character becomes integral to how things play out. The whole story is framed by slow, solemn gravedigging. There's seemingly endless rain, and storms, and fear. It's exceptional comics storytelling.

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.Richard Wenk revealed that Kraven the Hunter's proposed stand-alone film will draw inspirations from Kraven's Last Hunt, and that the film would include Spider-Man. [10] It's brilliantly written by J.M. DeMatteis, who is one of the best comic book writers - or any kind of writers - out there. It's a terrific examination of what makes a hero. What makes a villain. What is the line between them - if the line even exists. It's psychologically deep and dark and not a little twisted. It will make you gasp, and feel angry and not a little sad, but ultimately leave you hopeful. Quotations from William Blake's "The Tyger" are spread all throughout the storyline with "tyger" replaced by "spider" or "spyder". Its alternate title is even "Fearful Symmetry." During Kraven's reign of terror as Spider-Man, the real Spider-Man works himself out of the grave he was imprisoned in and goes in search of Kraven. But when he finds him, Spider-Man also finds Vermin who Kraven sets free. Knowing the horror that Vermin poses, Spider-Man goes after the cannibal and Kraven retires to his home, having proven his worth as a hunter, having proven in his mind that he is a better Spider-Man than Spider-Man ever was. He then proceeds to kill himself. Spider-Man goes home to try and recover from Kraven's last hunt.
