Marvel Comics Universe and Amazing Spider-Man #16 Spoilers and Review follows.

Culling the Kravens To Declutter Kraven The Hunter’s Past Ahead Of New The Hunted Arc! Plus Who Are The Savage Six? (ASM #817 Legacy Numbering)

The book opens with a storyline catch-up and creators’ credits page.

We then get to a retelling / reboot of Kraven the Hunter’s…

…complicated past…

…including multiple familial Kravens.

One son has…

…killed his siblings…

…and stands at his father’s side!

Kraven has allied himself with Arcade and together they’ve captured animal-named villains…

…and heroes for the Grand Hunt.

However, Kraven has more than a Savage Six; perhaps a Savage Seventy to be hunted?!

The Pulse:

An accessible issue despite the complicated backstory of Kraven the Hunter. Awesome art on the road to Hunted. Well done. No Amazing Spider-Man though plus, I know its coming up, I hate these new initial numbering like ASM #16.HU so there can be more than one issue with 16 on it. Weird. 7 out of 10.
