Episode 179 – Spider-Man: Kraven’s Last Hunt

The Comics Canon

Content warning: suicide, threat of sexual assault.

In this episode, we visit one of the most popular Spider-Man stories of all time that also happens to be one of the most atypical Spider-Man stories of all time: Kraven’s Last Hunt, by J.M. DeMatteis, Mike Zeck and Bob McLeod, published by Marvel Comics!

You’d think Kraven the Hunter would be happy. After all, he’s finally captured his elusive foe, Spider-Man. But apparently not! The big game hunter shoots his prey, buries him alive, and sets out to prove his superiority by taking the wall-crawler’s place and defeating the deadly rat-man, Vermin!

Can the newlywed web-slinger wriggle his way out of the grave, defeat Kraven and Vermin, and return home to his blushing bride? And can this six-part saga win at that Most Dangerous Game known as ... The Comics Canon?
