“Son of the Hunter!, Part 3”

A storm-lit graveyard sets the stage for this late-1990s Marvel thriller, as Spider-Man braces against a fierce, spear-wielding attacker while the voodoo priestess Calypso commands from the background — her decree spelled out in bold letters right on the cover: "KILL!" Luke Ross's cover art crackles with kinetic energy, packing the scene with crumbling tombstones, a snarling bestial figure, and a wild-eyed feral woman lunging into the fray. Part three of "Son of the Hunter!" finds Spidey in seriously dire straits, courtesy of the creative team of J.M. DeMatteis and Ross.
