Spiderman's most ultimate challenge
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 actually find this storyline following Kravens motives, lifestyle, and goals. Just about everything that I predicted was shown into this storyline and it actually fit very well as it answers just about all the questions I had before this issue came out.
- The artwork really brought out Kraven and his family. Seeing Kraven suited up and ready to fight Spiderman was awesome. That picture is currently saved on my desktop because its probably one of my most favorite pics of Kraven that I have ever seen.
- The character dialogue was awesome, even for Kraven and his response towards his family. Obsessed with having a strong family, Kraven actually shows how his family is a batch of sissies in this issue and the event. Dialogue for each character was unique and fit very well for themselves, most of all, no crappy one-liners that ive been seeing from Marvel lately.
-The ending was different from what I expected, and I mean the actual ending that shows what happens to Kraven and his jungle-like-Brady Bunch family. I honestly would still find myself satisfied from the ending and it still didn’t change my mood for the Gauntlet and the Grim Hunt.
-The weight of the Gauntlet issues sits on the top of this one event, this one issue and I would find myself giving the most highest rating because of how it followed through and finished an EPIC storyline within the Spiderman issues.
The Bad:
-I honestly didn’t see the reason why the animals would go ape-crazy, that was not actually needed, I do understand why that was happening, but despite how minor it was, it wasn’t needed at all.
-I hate it when Marvel advertises comics that gives us the impression of a certain death of an important character (which there wasn’t any in the recent issue), I really wish Marvel would fire the people who are advertising these comics because its really starting to annoy me with their cheesy salesman act.
The Ugly:
None at all
The Conclusion:
I am honestly amazed that by the time I made this review, a handful of comic fans felt unsatisfied with this event, and it was quite obvious on why that was, they really don’t know and understand Kraven at all besides the fact that he’s a Spiderman villain. Predictable that if this event would end perfectly, it’s a fullblown fact that some fans just don’t want to appreciate what is given to them, nomatter how awesome or crappy it is, its funny how over analyzing can take an affect and they would try to give themselves reasons on why they wasted money when they just couldn’t accept the fact that they don’t understand what they just read and to fully understand involves digging in the past, and I mean digging and analyzing the character known as the Kraven.
I knew that jungle jim wouldn’t have a huge fanbase because of how misunderstood or lack of appearances he's had, which is understandable, and to fully understand Kraven would involve outside resources as well.
But I could careless if people agree or disagree with me, its my opinion and at least I made some effort to convince Marvel fans that they didn’t waste their own money on this issue and event.
This issue would most likely find itself as an epic event within Marvel, intime to where continuing readers would actually may pick this issue up again and understand what is actually happening and why.I fully understand Kraven because of how interesting his character is to me, It may because the fact that I see things differently which gives me a better and mostly different understanding than other people. As some people may disagree, Kravens character was perfect in this event, and Im actually amazed that the writers researched this man before slapping him back into the world of Marvel, something that most writers lack to do.
Kraven is actually more than your jungle jim in leopard pants who’s a badguy for Spiderman.
Talented writers would put more maturity into this character, which makes him different from the rest of the Spiderman Rogues Gallery.
Agree or disagree, Like I said, I could careless, because its my review and my attempt, so if you didn’t understand this issue and felt cheated, then go on the bottom of this review page and by all means non-recommend me, so you can show me how upset you are with this EPIC SUCCESS and attempt to explain to me on why it’s a failure if you feel the need too, while I sit back drinking a cold one and read from the very start of this EPIC SUCCESS that makes Marvel as creative as it should be.
As an appreciation for this awesome event, if interested, I made two video reviews of this event and I tried to explain and shorten to where it doesn’t drag, but I tried to explain everything besides the actual ending to The final issue of the Grim Hunt.
