    WOOOOOO.

    About

     The latest storyline "Grim Hunt"comes to a conclusion in this issue. The vengeful Kravinoff family go all out to kill the 'Spiders', but just like any family, the Kravinoff's have problems of their own .. Arana, Arachne and Madame Web are all in critical danger and only Spiderman can save them from the resurrected Kraven! 
     

    Good

    This was a really good issue and a great ending to a very good stoyline. This pushed all my buttons ... so to speak. The characters all had decent enough appearances and new progressions between them happened. It was a little surprise to see what happened to Arachne, I don't know if I like this new character development, but I guess I'll have to see. The action scenes were well constructed and it even had a 'horror movie' feel to it, that kept me in suspense.  I loved Ana Kravinoff, I think she's an awesome character and is perfect with the whole 'creepy young girl' edge she has.
     

    Bad

    There isn't really 'bad' points with this issue, like I said, it pushed the right buttons. My only point was maybe the development of Arachne in this issue, it was kinda surprising, but I'm not sure this is necessarily a good change for her character, and I love Julia, so I don't think I'm ready to see her with a big change like this. They didn't really address why Spiderwoman wasn't included in the arc, unless I just missed it. I mean, they had all of the Spiderwomen, except the spiderwoman. So it was disappointing that she wasn't included.
     

    Overall

    This is an essential read when it comes to Spiderman, you see characters like Arachne, the Kravinoffs and Spiderman truly develop and go all out ... kicking ass and taking names. The art is good, the colouring was nice and dark when needed and I enjoyed the 'classic horror' cliche's mixed into this. The ending is also nice too.  ALOT of deaths happen and the overall storyline in general, so be prepared for some changes that you may not like.

      Okay, once more:SPOILER FREE reviews from now on.(I keep repeating it so I can keep that in mind too xD ) The conclusion was and wasn't what I was expecting from 'Grim Hunt'.Things happened the way it should have, not slow but neither too fast.The ending was satisfying for Spidey fans but those who just pick up to read something maybe they'll  find it as 'nothing special'.Of course after this issue lot of things are questionable for example the last page.Yes dear readers once you see the THE END...

      Spiderman's most ultimate challenge 0

      The Story: With Kraven setting Spiderman up for another final hunt, he would secretly have plans of his own and plans that would have his family feel uncomfortable following. Wearing his black costume and challenging Kraven and his family, Spiderman must face the most toughest challenge throughout his whole career, a challenge that would leave Spiderman with a difficult choice that could ruin everything he has worked for.   The Good: - Great and Solid storyline, as a huge Kraven fan myself I ac...
