WHAT IF... KRAVEN SURVIVED HIS "LAST HUNT"?! Leaving SPIDER-MAN broken, insane and vulnerable to the influence of an old enemy... and who better to fill the void left by the spider than KRAVEN THE HUNTER?! One way or another, both Kraven and Peter will become something more - and finally settle the score between them! The author of the greatest SPIDER-MAN story of all time, J. M. DeMatteis, returns for a bold reimagining of the aftermath of "Kraven's Last Hunt"!

Reviews
The SUPERIOR Spider-Man has returned.
Kraven's Last Hunt is an all time Spidey classic. Kraven buries Peter alive, eats a bunch of spiders, throws on a black suit and goes out to show he'd be better as Spider-Man.
Sound familiar, Doc Ock fans?
Unlike Superior Spider-Man, Kraven's Last Hunt ends with shotgun full of finality, BUT! WHAT IF??!?! it didn't?
Original writer JM DeMatteis teams up with Yildray Cinar to bring back some magic in this well worn territory. Cinar is able to ape Mike Zeck/Bob McLeod pretty nicely. DeMatteis brings some weight to the proceedings (in a way that realllllly didn't happen in his 'Lost Hunt' mini series). In the end, we get a nice stand alone Spidey story with a broken brained Peter Parker, a wrong at every step Kraven, and a plausable return for a specific black costume.
Highly recommended for older Spider fans, recommended for everyone else. It should make you want to read Kraven's Last Hunt whichever group you fall in.
