Spider-Man is ambushed and apparently killed by Kraven the Hunter， who then assumes the role of Spider-Man in order to prove himself superior to his nemesis。 The true test of this new， more violent Spider-Man comes in the form of a cannibal killer who has been haunting the streets of New York; the creature known as Vermin。This is a truly iconic Spider-Man storyline and， as a result， I was initially intimidated by it。 However， this is a masterfully told story of fear， obsession and humanity that Spider-Man is ambushed and apparently killed by Kraven the Hunter， who then assumes the role of Spider-Man in order to prove himself superior to his nemesis。 The true test of this new， more violent Spider-Man comes in the form of a cannibal killer who has been haunting the streets of New York; the creature known as Vermin。This is a truly iconic Spider-Man storyline and， as a result， I was initially intimidated by it。 However， this is a masterfully told story of fear， obsession and humanity that is both worthy of its place in the Spidey Hall of Fame and is still eminently readable。 This is truly a psychological battle of wills between Spidey and Kraven， a supervillain who I'd never really liked before （I think the 60s story where Kraven shoots beams out of his nipples was too far for me）。 Strangely enough the dark psychological tone of this book actually put me more in mind of a Batman story than a Spider-Man， and this shift in tone for the Webslinger makes for some interesting reading。 It even matches his black costume。 I wouldn't want every Spider-Man story to read like this， but here it's really well done and feels appropriate。This is just a really good， self-contained Spider-Man story。* More reviews here: https://fsfh-book-review2。webnode。com * 。。。more

Much more of a Kraven story than Spider-Man。 Since Kraven the Hunter continually fails when hunting The Spider he is driven mad。 A twisted story。 Lots of internal dialogue。 Great art。

Tak jsem si přečetl Kraven's Last Hunt a je to asi nejdivnější Spidey jakýho jsem kdy četl。 Neuvěřitelně mě bavily vnitřní monology postav na kterých je vlastně celý příběh postavený a jak zkoumá různé pohledy v čemž je jeho velká síla。 Ale nemůžu se ubránit dojmu， že na pár místech DeMatteis spíš jenom plácá na efekt než， že by skutečně měl co sdělit。 Co je tady každopádně neoddiskutovatelné， že kresba je boží， krásný barvy， výborný vizuál a na pár místech nádherný panelování。 Ačkoliv trochu cí Tak jsem si přečetl Kraven's Last Hunt a je to asi nejdivnější Spidey jakýho jsem kdy četl。 Neuvěřitelně mě bavily vnitřní monology postav na kterých je vlastně celý příběh postavený a jak zkoumá různé pohledy v čemž je jeho velká síla。 Ale nemůžu se ubránit dojmu， že na pár místech DeMatteis spíš jenom plácá na efekt než， že by skutečně měl co sdělit。 Co je tady každopádně neoddiskutovatelné， že kresba je boží， krásný barvy， výborný vizuál a na pár místech nádherný panelování。 Ačkoliv trochu cítím v autorovi potřebu napsat svůj vlastní Dark Knight Returns nic to nemění na tom， že jde o psychologicky zajímavé dílo。 。。。more

This comic is very different than what I expected， and in a way is very different from a lot of comics I've read。 I loved the writing and the way they conveyed what each of the characters were thinking - it was very human。This was definitely an excellent comic book and I would 100% recommend it。 I obviously don't want to say too much without ruining it， because I think the surprise of the comic is really vital to the story。 This comic is very different than what I expected， and in a way is very different from a lot of comics I've read。 I loved the writing and the way they conveyed what each of the characters were thinking - it was very human。This was definitely an excellent comic book and I would 100% recommend it。 I obviously don't want to say too much without ruining it， because I think the surprise of the comic is really vital to the story。 。。。more

This lacked everything a Spider Man story should have and was full of dark， depressing， existential crises instead。 Too violent， too dark， too Russian。 This is not MY Spider Man。

Antes de empezar: ¿De qué trata el cómic？ De Kraven el cazador。 Uno de los villanos del montón de Spider-Man que， esta vez， logra al fin darle caza。 Lo entierra， lo suplanta y le intenta demostrar que es superior a él como hombre y como idea。 Quizás de por sí esto no diga mucho， pero es que lo interesante de este cómic no está en la clásica lucha del bien contra el mal; sino en los temas que aborda y la manera en que se mete dentro de la cabeza de los personajes。No es la primera vez que leo este Antes de empezar: ¿De qué trata el cómic？ De Kraven el cazador。 Uno de los villanos del montón de Spider-Man que， esta vez， logra al fin darle caza。 Lo entierra， lo suplanta y le intenta demostrar que es superior a él como hombre y como idea。 Quizás de por sí esto no diga mucho， pero es que lo interesante de este cómic no está en la clásica lucha del bien contra el mal; sino en los temas que aborda y la manera en que se mete dentro de la cabeza de los personajes。No es la primera vez que leo este cómic。 Nunca fue demasiado de mi agrado， aunque en esta ocasión pude leerlo de una forma un poco más crítica y apreciar la forma en que los recursos gráficos y narrativos convergen de gran forma explotando las posibilidades creativas que el medio （en este caso el cómic） ofrece。En ese sentido， me parece una gran obra。 Por más que me haya volado la cabeza， puedo ver por qué muchas personas lo consideran el mejor cómic de Spider-Man， aunque ciertamente difiera con respecto a eso。 Sí estaría dispuesto a hipotetizar que es el mejor cómic de Kraven， y creo que no costaría mucho demostrar la veracidad de esa hipótesis。No recuerdo haber leído nada más de Dematteis。 Si bien sentí， y acá me hago cargo de que es una opinión completamente subjetiva， que el autor sabe narrar perfectamente una buena historia （el mencionar el trasfondo político del personaje para mi siempre va a ser un punto a favor）， en esta ocasión brinda mayor preponderancia a su conocimiento y a su trabajo que al personaje y los acontecimientos en sí。 Esto no quita que sea una bonita obra， con toques poéticos y muchas metáforas inmersa en sus páginas， pero a diferencia de otros cómics （como Watchmen） que utilizan las analogías y las metáforas mediante simbolismos o con toques más crípticos; en esta ocasión su uso me parece más “barato” y simple。 Quizás pueda ser por el público al que en ese momento la obra se dirigía， pero al igual que dije con Secret War: Una buena historia es una buena historia pase el tiempo que pase。A no equivocarse: Esta es una buena historia。 El arte de Mike Zeck me parece muchísimo más logrado que en Secret War， por ejemplo。 Me gustaría saber hasta que punto tuvo poder de decisión en cuanto a la composición gráfica de la obra， o si fue Dematteis quién diagramó las viñetas y Zeck se limitó a ejecutarlo。 Supongo que la verdad estará en un punto medio， pero no hace a la diferencia， la sincronía entre texto y dibujos está muy bien lograda。 Sin ser rimbombante el trabajo de Zeck es bueno， sin llegar a la excelencia， pero mostrando planos y dibujos interesantes， teniendo secuencias ágiles y contando desde la propia imagen （algo que resulta propio del género， pero que aún no estaban tan desarrollado en esa época）。En resumen: Una buena historia， algo sobrevalorada， pero que vale la pena leer。 。。。more

I actually pre-ordered this book like a month ago because i heard it was a defining story to Spider-man。 Now i understand why people say that。。

There is something captivating and timeless about the polarity between Peter Parker and Kraven。 Or as the DeMatteis （quoting The Tyger） puts it， fearful symmetry。 The story is really Kraven's story， as he searches for meaning in his two existences。 The duality of his meaningless personal life and his life as a hunter， and the duality of Spider-Mans meaningful personal life， with his tumultuous life as a protector。 Like "The Killing Joke" this story gives us a look into the psyche of a villain， a There is something captivating and timeless about the polarity between Peter Parker and Kraven。 Or as the DeMatteis （quoting The Tyger） puts it， fearful symmetry。 The story is really Kraven's story， as he searches for meaning in his two existences。 The duality of his meaningless personal life and his life as a hunter， and the duality of Spider-Mans meaningful personal life， with his tumultuous life as a protector。 Like "The Killing Joke" this story gives us a look into the psyche of a villain， and how similar that is the hero。 Like a butterfly flapping its wings and causing a hurricane， the villain is removed from the hero by only a very slim morality。 Spider-man fights for a purpose （Honor， love， responsibility）。 Kraven fights for a purpose （to hunt， to be the best）。 The comics title “Fearful Symmetry， fits many of its themes。 He’s Kraven。 Born to a noble Russian family after the collapse of aristocracy。 Obsessed with the old ways。 With the nobility how the civilized world is conversely less civil in his mind。 The world to both Peter and Kraven are beautiful and dreadful。 There are other symmetries explored in the text。 Death and life。 Hero and villain。 Human and beast。Kraven as Spider-Man does the things that Spider-Man does。 He saves Marry Jane and he stops crime。 But his brutal efficiency contrasts vividly with the way Peter performs his duties。 As evidenced early on in the story， Peter has compassion for his enemies and sees the people in them。 In this story， both Peter and Kraven fight Vermin， but the way that they deal with him varies in important ways。 Kraven uses Vermin as a means to an end。 He captures him and uses him as a trophy。 Peter could care less about his reputation of never having defeated Kraven personally， and when he does capture him， he promises to help him。 For me， this was a reminder that honor does exist in the world。 As bleak and grim as this story is， it always remains hopeful。 I love stories like that。 。。。more

Look， it was good。 It was better than average， and for the most part I enjoyed it， hence the 4/5。Did it measure up to the hype of "one of the best Spider-Man stories ever told？"。 No。I do think this would make a really cool R18+ horror spiderman MCU flick though。But of course we would never see that。 Look， it was good。 It was better than average， and for the most part I enjoyed it， hence the 4/5。Did it measure up to the hype of "one of the best Spider-Man stories ever told？"。 No。I do think this would make a really cool R18+ horror spiderman MCU flick though。But of course we would never see that。 。。。more

Δεν περίμενα ποτέ ότι θα μου άρεσε τόσο πολύ ένα σουπερχοίρο κόμικ （το Watchmen δε μετράει， είναι εκτός συναγωνισμού）。 Φοβερή σκηνοθεσία γενικά και πολύ λίγα στερεοτυπικά σουπερχοίρο cringy στοιχεία。

Wow！ I'm not really a fan of superhero comics but that was mindblowing！ Sure， there are a few cheesy superhero moments but the work that is put into it overall is incredible， especially the "mise-en-scene" （if it is possible to use this term for comics）。 Wow！ I'm not really a fan of superhero comics but that was mindblowing！ Sure， there are a few cheesy superhero moments but the work that is put into it overall is incredible， especially the "mise-en-scene" （if it is possible to use this term for comics）。 。。。more

Άνισο για εμένα αφήγημα， οι χαρακτήρες μου φάνηκαν αρκετά ψεύτικοι και επιφανειακοι， ο λόγος των 2 αστεριών είναι η έξυπνη αφήγηση που δίνει βάση στο έντονο σχέδιο πάρα στην εξιστόρηση με λέξεις。

I get why this series is considered a seminal story arc for the Spider-man cannon。 Decidedly dark and emotional， it's less of a story about Spider-man/Peter Parker and more about the Kraven and the meaning of life。 A must read for anyone who loves Spider-man。 I get why this series is considered a seminal story arc for the Spider-man cannon。 Decidedly dark and emotional， it's less of a story about Spider-man/Peter Parker and more about the Kraven and the meaning of life。 A must read for anyone who loves Spider-man。 。。。more

Honestly， fairly overrated story。 It was fine， the art was very good， but the story was overly dramatic。 Off-putting at times。

This was an okayish story and is basically Kraven defeating spidey and burying him and then taking up his identity to prove himself superior to Peter。 Its a very twisted tale and coincides with retelling of his origins and why he must give in to this spider。 There is also a subplot with the Vermin and the way its done is epic and just makes you feel for him and when Kraven captures him but at the same time Peter digs his way out of that is just fascinating。 Then they meet and they fight and Krav This was an okayish story and is basically Kraven defeating spidey and burying him and then taking up his identity to prove himself superior to Peter。 Its a very twisted tale and coincides with retelling of his origins and why he must give in to this spider。 There is also a subplot with the Vermin and the way its done is epic and just makes you feel for him and when Kraven captures him but at the same time Peter digs his way out of that is just fascinating。 Then they meet and they fight and Kraven has the captured Vermin fight Spidey before。。。stopping it and what he does thereafter is just sad but also makes sense and proves why he was a hero in the end but this will affect Spidey and MJ for years but despite that he continues to help people like a hero！！ 。。。more
