I am the spider.

In this episode, Mark and Dan will discuss how somewhere deep within the Marvel offices an idea was floated that, “Hey, we just married off Spider-Man. What do you think about killing him off in a dark Kraven story?” And the answer that came back was. “Yes.”

That’s right; it’s time for Amazing Spider-Talk to finally talk about the critically beloved “Kraven’s Last Hunt” by writer JM DeMatteis and artist Mike Zeck, as well as its many sequels. Or are they just homages? Legasequels? Honestly, there are so many they can be almost impossible to categorize.

Joining us for this conversation is Neil Kleid. Neil is a cartoonist and writer who, in 2014, adapted Kraven’s Last Hunt into a novel published by Marvel and Titan Books. He’ll help us drill down into what makes this story so special to comics readers the world over and talk about his process of adapting such a revered text.
