Great story the final issue didn’t pack the punch i was hoping for but I’m excited for the next issue.
This was pretty good but I can't help but feel like I wanted more.
Kraven is up to his old tricks. He wants the Spider dead. Instead of going after him head on and failling for the 100th time he decides to play it smart and capture a bunch of other insect like heroes and villains and use them as weapons to kill each other. But more than that he lets rich pieces of shit use robots to hunt and kill them. The twist and turns keep coming as the end results have our hero at odds on who to save and who to let go.
I enjoyed some moments a lot. There's some great funny moments and Spencer writes Peter on the edge of losing his shit well. I also enjoyed everything with the Lizard and his son and it was smart for Spencer to make a call back to the best storyline from brand new day era. The art is solid though the symbiot looking suit Peter wears looks HORRID. I also didn't like the ending and felt it was a bit lame on the whole event.
Overall, it was a solid Spider-man mini-event but hardly anything amazing. I enjoyed some moments a lot but this isn't one of the all time greats and I know Spencer can produce a better story in the end. A 3 out of 5.

Nick Spencer goes all in for his epic Kraven storyline that he's been building to and there is a lot to like here but there are some issues as well. First, the positive. There are a lot of moving pieces here and Spencer does a great job keeping track of them and keeping everything moving forward. Even the subplots are continuing. The story did a great job of dealing with who Kraven is at his core but also Peter and Lizard as well. Really enjoyed the nod to Spidey history as well. However, I didn't love Kraven's overly comic booky scheme, some bigger moments seemed to be glossed over, and some of the rushed artwork. Overall, a good read that has a few hiccups but was fun.
I really like the concept, and the writing is solid, but there art does not fit the story, so that drops it a star for me.
I had been sitting on the issues comprising the Hunted arc for a while now, I'd fallen a fair bit behind on ASM and wasn't really looking forward to catching up. This is a book where, no matter the author, it's always been hit or miss for me, and Spider-Man in general hasn't really had any storylines that have done for me since like the 90s. But I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with Hunted. There's a lot going on, but it's well-crafted by Nick Spencer and it makes good use of a lot of stuff surrounding Spider-Man. The story is about Kraven the Hunter hatching an elaborate plan basically so he can convince Spider-Man that he needs to kill him (due to some Marvel magic from when he got reincarnated). To show him that he's so dangerous that sometimes you just have no choice but to kill (a la Man of Steel). But while Spencer has Spider-Man do some questionable things, he never crosses that line, even facing an absurd amount of danger. The story has him stuck in Central Park with a bunch of his animal-themed rogues, under a force field erected by Arcade, who provides VR headsets and Kraven lookalike drones to a bunch of rich assholes. There are subplots with Black Cat, the Lizard, even Black Ant and Taskmasker get a nice little arc. It's really well-crafted and feels grand for something self-contained within half a dozen issues. The first 15 issues of Spencer's run feel like they were building to this, I hope it's not 15 more until we get something really interesting from ASM again.
I have really been enjoying Nick Spencer’s run on Spider-Man. He has a classic approach to Peter Parker/Spider-Man that works in the contemporary stories that he is telling.
“Hunted” is my favorite of Spencer’s storylines so far. He takes the story into some deep and emotional places, but still balances in Peter’s lightheartedness perfectly to keep us from getting overwhelmed with what’s going on.
