Black Ant wrasslin with the Owl while Taskmaster watches is just so funny to me. Like they definitely could've taken him down the same way they took out Beetle but they decided to make a game of it.

Huh.

Damn this is gonna be a huge event

Poor Billy.

Curt's cute.

Man, this was fun

Isnt high evolutionary some ultra level villain . I would have believed it more if it was an offer. An experiment he want to conduct on kraven.

yeah, it's pretty bullshit

>Shillin Shillical

The only evil genetic scientist left are him and Sinister. I'm kind of surprised it wasn't Nathan who did this.

Jackal, Sugarman, and Dark Beast are kind of "dead" at the moment. So Kraven couldn't go to them. Zola is doing whatever Hydra is up to right now.

Given that Kraven is a Hunter, he probably offered the Evolutionary some high-end extinct animal DNA in exchange.

I'd be interested in a task master/black ant series.

Maybe because High Evolutionary is the only one that has Ani-Men?

EVEN THE OWL!?

So why isn't Kraven capturing Black Ant too? He's animal themed

Isn't he just an LMD now or something?
That hardly counts.

Day of the spear is now

I'm guessing 1 of 3 things is gonna happen

Black Ant doesn't count because he's a robot, he actually proved himself worthy of wearing an animal mantle, or Kraven is gonna betray his mercs and capture Ant.

that kid should hang out with Teen Abomination
Also thanks OP, nice issue

>That sheer look of resentment on M'J's face

She knows what Kurt just cost her

These two motherfuckers, what's their deal?

He follows the Reed Richards philosophy of the animal kingdom, no one who matters cares about ants.

>Black Ant doesn't count because he's a robot
That'd be pretty prejudiced of him.

This ends in a Frog-Man cameo doesn't it

OH NO NOT WAIFU BEETLE.

SAVE US BOOMERANG

>White Rabbit
>literal who in facepaint and fancy guns
It should've been Panda-Mania

He pulled an 180 so fast

They are legitimately the two most effective mercenaries currently operating in Marvel and are basically making a game out of their careers at this point,

Task master never gets the love he deserves. He’s a always been one of my favorite Villians who in my opinion acts exactly as most people given lower level abilities would. Incredibly self serving and interested pretty much his own gain but also not a dumb ass

Double vision, double the responsibility.

This has... taken a turn that I don't think I was quite prepared for.

Finally picking up, not a bad i liked it
he gets plenty of love ani't nobody looking at task and thinking he's weak

I think Kraven's offer was "Do this trivial shit and I'll stop killing your Ani-Men."

Well, f#%k.

>Stegron is white
>King Cobra is black
>Rock Python is white

How hard is it to get reference material so you don't make mistakes like this?

Thanks, OP.

that's Taskmaster and Black Ant, the two best minions in the entire Marvel multiverse, and we will not tolerate disrespect of them here

Where's wolverine?

>Kraven-themed Iron Man suits
Huh. I was wondering how a bunch of middle-aged schlubs were going to take down a bunch of hardened super-criminals.

This is also Kraven's version of the story, HE's version is probably more along the lines of "Fine I'll make clones for you just fuck off".

Yeah, so I initially dropped this after the first arc as the atmosphere was too sitcomish and Ottley wasn't doing the second arc. But after reading this issue it seems the humor is more reasonable in frequency and tone so I may be back. Now, the question is: did I miss something good along the way?

I mean, even within the context of Kraven's story, that's pretty clearly what it is.

Yeah, Nick Spencer fixing Black Cat's character and a nice trip down memory lane with Jonah. Honestly, I loved everything besides the first arc.

What did Kurt just cost her?

The Black Cat issues are pretty important since their relationship got fixed.

Also is anyone getting reminded of that time Suicide Squad got hunted for sport. I'm expecting this to end in pretty much the same way and for that to be Kraven's plan.

Man, I miss Secret Six

Either that or the time Al Kravinoff made a zoo of animal-themed villains.

White Rabbit is fucked, & she knows it.

>whores herself out to the others for protection

That's not resentment, it's lupus.

I really liked the last Taskmaster mini, and it feels like Spencer is practically begging to do something with the character.
What would it be about, though?

Fred is probably more grateful now than ever that he wasn't selected to be the Kangaroo.

Attached: Fred.jpg (1041x1600, 493K)

Interesting how King Cobra is one of the Savage Six despite not being a Spider-Man villain like the others.

So Kraven is Jango Fett now...

The more I read this, the more I am beginning to realize that The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl exists in its own canon.

Spencer is seething over those Facebook photos. At least he's still being subtler than usual about it.

What? Rich dipshits have been taking photos of themselves with dead exotic animals they "hunted down" for decades

>Spencer is seething over those Facebook photos.
Is he? I don't know the guy (not really into celebs), but this really looks like a natural fit into story.

so is it a sunburn?

The last Taskmaster mini was shit. "Ooh, I can't remember anything because of my skills, I just got really good at reading people and guessing what they want me to say"

Aww i tought the superior spiderman was here to help.

Oh no Beetle! I hope she'll be ok!!
Seriously only a twisted fuck like Spencer would come up with a character this good and kill her off in a triple-convoluted four-level irony villain plan.

Attached: hhehehehe.jpg (1600x1230, 656K)

Dumb idiot. He couldn't just open with "Check out my wicked cosplay!" No, he had to fucking shit spaghetti everywhere. This is why you make kids interact personally instead of social media, I tell you.

I doubt anyone relevant will actually die, especially not one of the author's pets.

Let's hope so.
Spencer is at his best with ensembles and double-cross heist comedy. Beetle working with Spider-Man could be great as long as he has the decency not to let her get in his pants.

Attached: AntBeetle2.jpg (1988x3056, 1.66M)

Was there ever any doubt that it did?

But... but Thomas Fireheart has the explicit approval of his Totem! It's where he gets his goddamn powers from! He doesn't fit in at all with the critique Kraven levels at all the others! God-fucking-damn it Spencer...

Not according to Kraven's opinion.

Didn't Kraven had a daughter?

Oh. It's another "Peter has to be near comatose with illness for the Kravens to feasibly have more than snowballs chance in hell of being a legitimate threat to him" episode. Great...

Yes she was mentioned multiple times here user.

Alright

She's been banished to the Inhumans franchise.

Spencer is building up to something big. So far we have:
Team Hell
>Mysterio
>Kingpin
>Centipede
>Mephisto
>Joe Quesada

Team Villains
>Black Ant
>Taskmaster
>Arcade
>Kraven Jr.
>Kraven Sr.

Wild Cards
>SpOck
>Thieves Guild
>All the extra Z-listers ever

And potentially joining team Spider-Man
>Randy Robertson
>Jigsaw Jameson
>The Lizard
>Black Cat
>Miles Morales (because of ItSV synergy)
>Mary Jane Watson
>Ant-Man, Stinger, Griz, Machinesmith, Miss Thing
>The Sinister Six (Five)
>Spider-Man

Watch as the run culminates in Team Spider-man working together to push into the bowels of Hell itself while constantly double-crossing each other. They learn from interacting with Peter the true value and power of responsibility. As they fight their way to defeat Mephisto, he transforms into a Cerberus with his heads are Quesada, Slott and Bendis. After the big fight is over, Boomer asks Spider-man
>And what do we do now?
>Now, we are all ready, it's time to attend my wedding.

Attached: 1477623098686.jpg (320x240, 31K)

Team Spider-man needs a cool name.
How about the Dispencers of Justice?

I really want Beetle to be the girl Randy is dating. Sounds like a lot of fun to me.

I want it to be Felicia so she can show up at Peter's apartment with all of them there and hijinks will not end ever.
But of course Robertson - Tombstone rivalry is cool too.
Neither relationship has much staying power though.

They're gonna kill off all the D-list but fun animal villains aren't they?
Damn it.

she has the handprint from Grim Hunt when spidey ripped her face with sticcy fingers. love the attention to detail

I'm just hoping Kraven isn't going to turn on his followers and pull the high and mighty attitude.
Dead animals and people are just as dead no matter which way you kill them.

this is my fetish

"The literally seething meme" is the first thing that popped into my head on seeing this page, too. I can make out the old dentist who they tried to fuck over, the cute blonde from Facebook who hunted all those animals, but I'm at a loss for the third.

So, okay, hypotheses: Boomerang gets pulled in to save Beetle and an also-ran or two. Kraven backstabs the Taskie/Black Ant combo and sticks Ant into his little hunt, causing Taskmaster to pitch in to help as well. Boomer and Taskmaster are always best when they're being played as reluctant anitheroes.

Kill White Rabbit and I break your legs, Spencer.

Seems unlikely for two reasons.
Black Ant is just a robot and Taskmaster is even less likely to stick his neck out for a robot buddy than Boomerang. Who is either still legitimately friends with his crew or he wasn't lying about the LMD's.

Look, it's Freddy and his baby Invincibles!

i can kinda see that cold spidy gots saving his ass later

Having a cold mostly depowers him. He's actually really screwed right now.

Oh, he's definitely going to kill them all at one point in the climax. Those armors scream "self-destruct button"
I'm more curious about Kraven 2 and if he'll stick around/replace his "father"

also somebody who actualyl knows people that hunt that is all is incredible ignorant.
professional hunters spent more money on the preservation of parks and the survival of animals then all other "animal support groups" combined.
I wish liberals would just once look up the facts before spouting their emotional driven crap

Now this is how you write a great Kraven.

>no son you can't kill spider-man because he is not at his peak it would not be honorable
>screw you Dad
and then kraven either dies protecting his son honor or kills his son and lets spidy go

>also somebody who actualyl knows people that hunt that is all is incredible ignorant
What did he mean by this?

I wonder when Kraven will turn on Black Ant. He's an animal themed villain himself.

I really don ´t like this artist
her draws good monsters but the faces are all wrong for spider-man
but MJ looks and acts super cute again so I am all happy. But considering how often this scenario has happened you would think that at least one writer would mentioned Peter trying to call some of his other Superhero friends to cover for him.
just get daredevil or the human torch to find the kid

is Peter really just sick or is something more going own. wasn´t he hit by a ray gun in the last issue?
also isn´t their some kind of powder that makes his spider-sense go all crazy?

>professional hunters spent more money on the preservation of parks and the survival of animals then all other "animal support groups" combined.
What the fuck do you think Kraven's whole, explicitly stated, deal in this comic is?

Kraven is the "professional hunter" here. The rest are rich tourists and poachers.

poachers aren´t white american girls user
the one who shot the giraffe he is referring to is an actual professional hunter as well, just a young one

gotta admit, this is the first time in years that I was actually happy after reading a Spider-Man comic and I am really pumped to see what is going to happen next.
they just need to get the art write and this could become a great arc

Sooo... this was totally intentional, right?

Attached: kravenslasthunt.png (1093x1436, 2.72M)

Yep. Nick Spencer loves Kraven's Last Hunt. He's been referencing it in all the interviews he's done for "Hunted." I think he said Hunted could be viewed as a bookend to Kraven's Last Hunt.

Am I the only one who noticed this is extremely similar to what Ezekiel tells Peter when they first meet?

Page for reference

Attached: Ezekiel explains totems.jpg (1600x1230, 780K)

Makes sense, Peter is overpowered as fuck compared to the vast majority of his villains.

>bookend to Kraven's Last Hunt.
what is there to bookend?
but that pretty much confirms it that Kraven is going to die again and his son is going to survive in case that somebody wants to use a Kraven like character again in the future
basically allowing Marvel to kill of a character for good without wasting potential stories

spectacular spider-man the show did it better like pretty much anything
have one fight were peter kicks the ass of kraven and then have kraven use genetics to become half human half lion and a real threat to peter

Spectacular's Kraven was fucking terrible. In fact, he was probably the single worst thing in the show considering how great everything else in it was.

The "totem" thing was done by Last Hunt first, although back then it was more of a supernatural suggestion than actual fact.
Much like how Batman's Barbatos started out as a spectral night terror and potential influence on Gotham and then was transformed into another cosmic bad guy

Attached: barbatos_0002.jpg (320x320, 56K)

I'm not talking about the totem thing specifically, I'm talking about the idea of people wearing animal skins being pretenders. Combined with Mysterio, Kingpin, the unknown dude from hell, and the Sensational Annual reference, it looks like Spencer is making a lot of pre-OMD references.

Attached: Peter is the real deal.jpg (1041x1600, 667K)

Yeah, remember the last time this was used? I do! The Gauntlet/Grim Hunt arc. Man what a fucking shit show that was! I have never been more disappointed with story Joe Kelly worked on, than when reading that particular garbage fire....

Wrong image

Attached: Peter is the real deal.jpg (1041x1600, 599K)

There's no way this story could surpass his death in Kraven's Last Hunt. After they brought him back from that, why would anyone expect it to stick if they killed him again now?

>bookend to Kraven's Last Hunt.

KRAVEN'S LAST HUNT WAS THE GODDAMN BOOKEND! And then they proceeded to take a big steaming shit on it with the dumpster fire that was Grim Hunt!

OOOOh, shit, I know that art style!!

Lmao even fucking squid is here

Uhhh...no homo...but dude's a fuckin' STUD!!

Kelly in general is not vey good as a spidey writer despite being such a great writer, maybe it was because of the editorial during the BND days but he had so many misses during that era, with some exceptions

I dunno, I liked Kelly's work on Spider-Man much more than the other BND writers. Even if the plots were editorially mandated trash, he managed to have good dialogue, great narrative tension, and interesting characters in the main cast. The Rhino issue he wrote is the best of the Gauntlet.

Is she still just a human chick with facepaint and nekomimi ears, or has she upgraded to actual rabbit facial features?

This isn't written by slott anymore user and he just got back with MJ, don't worry on that front

t. Mattie fan

>they just need to get the art write and this could become a great arc
Oh, user. I'm so sorry to have to be the one to tell you this. Ramos is doing the art for Hunted.

That story was bad for spidey fans and kraven fans, mattie was not the only damage

Yeah the problem with "I'll just replace Kraven with his son" is that they tried to do it twice, first with Vladimir, then with Alyosha, and Marvel said "No, we want the *real* Kraven."

Alyosha spent a while redesigned to look exactly like Kraven, some of those stories didn't make much effort to be clear that it was Kraven's son, not the original. That lasted from his appearance early in Priest's Black Panther, up until Ron Zimmerman's Kraven book.

I want to FUCK the White Rabbit!

MJ a cute.

Get a load of Pete's big butt.

A post-SHIELD review of its agents leads a low-level HR agent to discover that Taskmaster was not only a SHIELD agent but a verified agent with almost every known organization on the planet in some way.

Now as SHIELD has to get rid of old members and reorganize it's up to one agent to do the impossible:

He must bring in the Taskmaster once and for all. For his performance review.

So, why didn't Kraven kidnap Black Ant too, again?

see

no mention of who buys all those horns, i notice.

I'm in for Kraven's (maybe) wild ride.

>Ana drawn like that
Reminder this girl is like 13.

Inhuman genes.

EYESWIDESHUT.png

Alright, I kinda blasted through the first 15 issues, but who was the guy telling Taskmaster and Black Ant what to do in the earlier issues? Was it Arcade the entire time and he was just wearing a costume or something? He had a purple face or something.

God I'd love it if Spencer brought back Grizzley and Machinesmith in this series. They were one of the best parts of Ant-Man.

Felicia sounds cool too. I want Beetle for those Robertson-Tombstone drama points + Beetle and MJ meeting each other + drama with Fred

still a girl that became rich by marrying and old dude and still hiring actors to pose as her gang.

She owns a night now club, though

You tell me.

Attached: bub.png (1297x930, 2.24M)

I could definitely see him replacing Kraven with Spencer bullshitting his way out of the "only Spider-Man can kill me" thing. I liked this issue but on the whole I never liked that they revived Kraven so I'd be fine with him dying again.

COMFY

Kraven is sexy

I hate that and I hope to god if she's ever used again it's ignored. Remember that fucking Blizzard is apparently an Inhuman too. God what a dark period that was. I'm glad it never happened and it was all some weird dream shared in the collective unconscious.

Redpill me on this Kraven guy, why did he kill his family? I thought he was with Calypso, that science chick that saved Peter's life.

>Completely ignoring how Kraven hunted the shit out of Kaine

Shameful.

Why do colorists keep fucking up Beetle's skin tone? She's a black girl.

>Was once described by the Gods as an unofficial god
>Has learned matter manipulation to the point where he could face off with Galactus
>Has regularly battled Thor and the Avengers, and has even won

>Kraven stahp I’ll help you pls no bully

And just like that you lost me.

She's half Dominican. Note she has lighter skin tone than Overdrive and even Shocker seems darker.
She's also cute.

Attached: 004.jpg (1041x1600, 458K)

That would’ve made more sense, if the deal was that Kraven was giving him high end species DNA in exchange for clones.

This, however, is stupid.

They captured her and then made her put on the suit? What devils!

White rabbit is not for hunting. She is for breeding.

Wonder if they'll bring up how her and Arcade used to date.

White rabbit probably traded some fuck for protection

Good thing the kid was only a mutie or the cop would have been aiming for his head

>Kraven's genocide of furries

But he's not a mutie, he's a mutate.

Is Kraven just out to kill all Furries?

>High Evolutionary
>heartbreak

He's genocided his animal men more than once. He's not sentimental about them.

Kraven wants to kill Kero... I'm happy about this.

>black dude casually tosses out an offensive racial slur
Based

>designed to age into adulthood at an accelerated pace.
this sounds extremely painful.
additionally, by this logic, assuming the clone survives this event, shouldn't Kraven Jr. be a gray haired man in his next appearance? Sounds like he'd have the lifespan of a fruitfly.

I'm guessing that Tasky and Black Ant didn't bother going after Otto.

Truth

I'd breed with her like a rabbit

why couldn't kraven just stay dead

Puma doesn't fit this description at all. Fuck you Kraven.

Creatively bankrupt editors.

Surely they'll let him stay dead this time... Until the next movie deal.

>Redpill me on this Kraven guy
He's a Squirrel Girl vill.

Maybe he got sad due to not being able to kill them himself?

Man, I was hoping he'd just let them loose as they are so the super villains could mop the floor with them.

I'm intrigued.

The art in this page looks pretty good.

same
Avengers has seen like three different teams formed, War of the Realms is coming up, next issue of Doctor Strange is gonna have Galactus, Superior Spider-Man just got the cosmic cube and his lady friend is hanging onto it, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man gave May cancer and ASM dropped a building on her.
Marvel is definitely cooking up to something.

Does anyone know Otto is (another) Spidey now? I don't think lots of people are privy to that kind of info

>Marvel is hype again
What went right?

Read his new ongoing.

Just caught up so far, and it looks like Pete and Anna Maria are the only ones who know. Might've speedread through that so feel free to call me on my shit

The last story I read with Kraven was during Kaine's Scarlet run. Feels weird reading this with a less dark tone with Kraven's character.

I don't get how that makes him a villain.

Also I haven't gotten a chance to read since the Black Cat issue with the Thieves' Guild. What have I missed? Are Pete and MJ still happy

I don't know, but I like it. Oh, and I also didn't mention the vampire civil war and Dracula being a refugee seeking asylum, but desu that doesn't excite me too much, and just seemed like an excuse for Blade to join the Avengers.
But man, those three teams I mentioned has got me really excited to see how that unfolds. Namor made a group because fuck land people, America made a group because SHIELD is dead and since The Avengers are now no longer under their control, they need a new super group, and Russia made a team because America made one.
It's all very fun, too bad the relaunch started with that stupid Celestial bullshit.

Everything's recapped here in dialogue. Pete and Cat are friends again, MJ and Pete are in a happy relationship and Boomerang's now on the side of Peter Parker. Also, no idea what's going on with the spider-verse sideline.

Damn shame too as it was the penultimate arc.

Like the western version of the legal loli.

There could be some impact if it he dies, since Spidey is the only(?) one that can do it.

I'm pretty sure he is immortal unless he is killed by either Peter or Kaine.

I wonder if Kraven is going to go after his step-brother, the Chameleon, as well?

Just gonna put a bet in, The Superior Foes get the gang back together to save Beetle and end up somehow being the idiots that break Arcade's bubble.

Remember when Kraven just wanted to rape Gwen?
Boy sure is a good thing that didn't happen. He might have been MeToo'd, like Darkseid!

Attached: Kravenbueno.png (376x203, 157K)

Ok I'll take you up on that bet.
Scott Lang will break in and rescue his mistake and will finally prove to the Taskmaster that he is worthy of arch-nemesis status!

>american cops

well, that's convenient.

>suits

they look like robots

>Needing Spidey sick AND kidnapping Billy

Did they really need both to make this event work?

At this point, it seems like the US government should hire Tasky and Black Ant as law enforcers. They've proven more effective than an entire legion of superheroes.

Taskmaster already works for the government when the pay is good, and the two of them won't be able to hang out with the rest of the criminal community for a while.

You'd think Peter would call Johnny or another superpowered friend at a time like this.

>misses at point blank range
I wonder how many bystanders were hit by the ricochets?

How did this end?

Secret Six brutally murdered everyone over the course of like 6 pages then stole their stuff and drove off in a yacht.

Also not being particularly dangerous combat-wise. His schtick makes him a great burglar and hard to catch but not really someone who can deal damage.

>A post-SHIELD review of its agents leads a low-level HR agent to discover that Taskmaster was not only a SHIELD agent but a verified agent with almost every known organization on the planet in some way.

I like this idea.

So was Kraven just fucking around when he turned Gibbon to attack Spider-man? Or did Gibbon earn his animal skin somehow?

Attached: KravenGibbon.png (664x334, 441K)

And I notice Kraven is still kinda sticking by the "Hunt the Hunters" schtick Squirrel Girl inspired. And his friendship with her would explain why she's not one of the captives. Maybe that crazy cosplay chick who hired him will show up as one of the rich hunters.

He also beat Black Panther in that appearance.

Come to think of it, why aren't they kidnapping any animal themed heroes aside from Puma? All the other Spiderpeople, BP, Porcupine, Shark-Girl, Sabertooth, Wolverine and his clones, they mention not being able to get Gorilla-Man; would the Beast count?
(Squirrel Girl gets a pass for being friends with Kraven.)

...There's gotta be more animal themed heroes, right? Half the ones I listed are reformed villains.

Go after heroes and you get the hero community coming after you to save them. Go after villains though? No one will stop you.

Good point. I guess Puma doesn't count cause he's so far outside the hero community, not living in NYC and not participating in any of the big events.

Silver and Bronze Age Big 2 comics are full of moments where villains offer heroines, or even a civilian woman like Gwen, the opportunity to join them and rule at their side. There's no implication of rape, it's attempted seduction through the promise of power, wealth and importance. Unlike Hollywood, nobody in comics ever sells out to a supervillain like that.

Gibbon is going to have a whole issue dedicate to him in this story. I guess we'll see.

In addition to his wrist blasters and his contortionist powers, his upgrade from Cobra to King Cobra gave him armor and a cybernetic tail. It still doesn't put him on a level with Spider-Man or Kraven, but it made him one of the more formidable members of the Serpent Society. Kraven's caught the rest of his team, together they can punch above their weight.

Good to know

FUCKING THIS! way to fucking forget about best boy Kaine. This speaks volumes of Spencer I don't think he will be adding any of the clones in his run.

Is he still on good terms with the Serpent Society? I don't recall seeing him with them recently, including when they showed up in Spencer's Captain Falcon run.

For that matter, did Kraven's guy's kidnap Madam Hydra Viper too? I was hoping to see her and Serp Society Viper have a showdown when they were recruited by Hydra but it never happened. Now there's another chance at it happening.

This issue

>Kraven's had it with the old ways, he's going to make a fucking tribe of hunters
>That's badass
>Wait nevermind we're back to the same stale TIME FOR THE TRUE HEIR shit everyone tried to do and failed
>Le quirkly 180º from the page Kraven meets the latest For-Reals-For-Serious heir when his characterization at the beginning was actually compelling
Yep

Spencer sounded like he had a great idea specially with how he kept saying he wanted to use Kraven, but it seems like he didn't realize what it was and just casually dropped it without realizing

I'm pretty sure Kraven probably just killed the rest of his family, then dealt with the Kaine shit, and then just came back to the Savage Land. Either that or he went and dealt with Kaine while the clones were incubating

>Is he still on good terms with the Serpent Society? I don't recall seeing him with them recently, including when they showed up in Spencer's Captain Falcon run.

There was someone wearing the original Cobra costume in that story, but it doesn't say if it was King Cobra reverting to his old identity, or if it was someone else.

I think that's Kraven's - and Spencer's - point. He's the exemplar, the rest aren't.

Tiger Kraven looks cool, but I miss Alyosha. I still hope he comes back.

I'm also hoping we can get some characterization for some of the D-List Animal rogues.

It's Panda-Mania's time to shine.

>Marvel is hype again
Unless you're an X-Men fan. That part is still shit and will be until White's gone as editor.

I'm reaching critical levels of mad here.

I think Kraven regards C as having earned it, since he beat and probably raped the shit out of him when they were kids.

TOAD? HE WAS BORN A FROG! HE'S EARNED THE RIGHT TO HIS MONIKER

Isn’t Puma basically Kraven but stronger and faster?

>Puma
>Not representing his animal as an avatar

>High Evolutionary being a pushover bitch that would actually do what Kraven wants

This issue basically sums up why I don’t like Spencer’s run. I know the writing on characters change over time, but Spencer completely disregards previous characterizations that are crucial.

>Kraven will never be your dad
Feels lame.

Man this dude is crazy in all the right ways.

I fail to see a problem with this.

That was fun.

So when are Taskmaster and Black Ant getting their own spin-off?

>I'M GONNA MAKE MIDWEST FURFEST LOOK LIKE A FUCKING JOKE

So does this mean Black Ant is an actual Ant Totem?

Why just the villains? Why not the heroes as well? Most of them probably aren't totems, like Frogman.

>it's raining out
>implying Johnny's gonna do shit

Man New York police don't wait a second to shoot the mutie down but the moment literal fucking wanted criminals come down to kidnap him they let them go no problem?
#LizardLivesMatter

Can't wait for Lizard to go fucking nuts on Kraven's face when he finds out what he did to his baby boy.

>Was born a frog
>Calls himself a toad
IMPOSTER!

Nothing that Kraven's done since his resurrection got mentioned. Then again, apart from the stuff with Kaine, has he done anything worth mentioning?

>Tiger Kraven looks cool, but I miss Alyosha. I still hope he comes back.

It's sad that they set up Kraven's family as a group of villains with a lot of potential, then killed most of them off immediately. Maybe one day someone will bring back Sasha, Alyosha, and Vladimir.

You now remember Xraven, the enhanced clone of Kraven made by Mr Sinister. He's still alive somewhere.

I'd imagine she has earned whatever squirrel totem there is by kicking so much ass. No pretender there, she's a squirrel to her soul.

and Dmitri, don't forget poor uncle/brother-in-law Chameleon on this.

Shooting at some harmless lizard kid is poor taste but realistically, would you shoot at Taskmaszer?

When I was a kid and I read that story I was just mad that Spidey and Kraven didn't fight in the end.
I appreciate it a lot more now.

From behind? Yes.

If Connors doesn't count as Lizard totem by the end of this I'll go feral myself.

I always want Chameleon to interact more with Kraven's brood but at he same time - that never ends well for him.

Imagine trying to defend that shit or pretending like it's something any writer for Marvel past or present would ever try to depict in a positive way. It's current events but it's also something people have spoken out about for decades.

Uhh, only libcucks don't think hunting is super badass though? Like, maybe stop sucking dicks and go shoot some fucking lions like Ernest Hemingway, grow some hair on your balls

I really hope they make Billy a teen hero.

So he's going to be competing for Kamala's attentions too?

No lions to shoot anymore, chief.

I thought people would whine harder about Kraven lamenting climate change.

Shut up faggot you probably couldn't run a mile much less kill a lion

Only savages think that using guns for hunting is "professional". If you don't feel your blood pumping while grappling the prey, dodging its swipes and look it in the eyes while delivering the killing strike you're not a hunter.

Who the fuck needs to run when you got a gun? Fucking libcucks don't even know how to hunt lol

Bowfags BTFO

Kamala and Cassie are both eligible for lizard micro-dick.

THE EAGLE DOES ALL THE WORK, IT'S THE REAL HUNTER

But I'm the one who makes it wear a gimp mask so I win.

To me always seemed like the ultimate enemy that always pushed Peter to the edge and made him become the closest thing to The Other as we'll get. I am always happy for Kraven to break him or devour him.

Black Ant is a robot, so there probably just wouldn't be any thrill to hunting him.

The High Evolutionary thing? Absolutely. Regarding Puma, I'll wait to see how it plays out.

>"The literally seething meme" is the first thing that popped into my head
Then you have an issue. Because it doesn't really call for it. It's fitting in the story. If dank meme have reached you to the point it can take you out of the natural flow of a story, then, you must reconsider your way of thinking.

>>Stegron is white
How can you tell ? He look Grey to me.

I hope this event actually has some meat to it and that Peter gets really challenged by it and gets to act cool and have a few nice action scenes considering how long the set up for it has been and how many issues the whole storyline is going to have.
would like to get some angst peter again

>gage
Of course this was his idea

If Kraven is so pissed off by his family he kills them, how the hell can he allow this abomination to live?

t.someone who has never hunted with a gun
