“Son of the Hunter!, Part 2”

In "Son of the Hunter!, Part 2," Spider-Man finds himself drawn into a deadly game when Kraven, the original hunter, confronts him with unsettling questions about his father—questions that grow more personal with every passing moment. As the tension escalates, Calypso intervenes, dragging both combatants to Kraven’s grave and forcing them into a brutal fight to the death. Meanwhile, Norman Osborn plots in shadow with Doctor Angst, while Grizzly and Gibbon test out their new Bearmobile, their crime-fighting ambitions as questionable as their teamwork. Written by J. M. DeMatteis and brought to life with dynamic art by Mike Deodato—pencils and inks on the cover—this 1997 issue delivers a gripping, high-stakes clash of legacy, identity, and survival.
