Scott's Take: Spider-Man: Kraven’s Last Hunt by Neil Kleid


Spider-Man: Kraven’s Last Hunt by Neil Kleid is an adaption in novel form of the comic of the same title. This novelization adapts the famous comic, keeping most of the plot, while attempting to update it for modern times. Kraven the Hunter (a longtime Spider-Man foe) has decided to launch a hunt of Spider-man for the last time. He will do whatever it takes to kill Spider-Man. This book takes place from multiple perspectives including two different villains and Spider-Man.  

Featuring sex, violence, lots of death, and plenty of humor this is an adult novel. This novel deals with concepts such as death, survivor’s guilt, honor, child abuse, dark secrets, and more. There is a huge horror element in this book as it depicts classic scenes found in the comic. This novel is not for children. This book would probably give them nightmares.

I highly recommend Spider-Man: Kraven’s Last Hunt by Neil Kleid for adult Spider-Man fans that are looking for a new spin on the classic tale.



My reading copy came from Central, aka Downtown Branch, of the Dallas Public Library System back before the libraries closed their doors in the middle of March due to the ongoing pandemic.
