Highlights

  • The conclusion of Kraven's Last Hunt
  • First appearance of Detective Carson
  • Spider-Man tracks after Vermin, crawling through the sewers, but longing to be home with his wife
  • An anonymous tip is called into the police
  • Detectives and officer's search Kraven's home, and find a confession that he was posing as Spider-Man, causing the chaos across New York
  • Vermin ambushes Spider-Man, and the two battle, with the beast dragging Spider-Man underwater
    • Spider-Man manages to get loose, and hides in the shadows, sending Vermin into a panic
  • Spider-Man tries reasoning with Vermin, but when he tells the beast he wants to take him out of the darkness of the sewers, it sends Vermin into a rage, and the battle begins again
  • Spider-Man leads Vermin out into the streets, where the sun has risen
    • The light causes him to recoil in fear, and Spider-Man is able to securely web him up
      • As the cops arrive, they make note of how Spider-Man still has it in him to look out for the beast, after all he's been through with Kraven
  • Kraven is buried
Low Points
  • I'm sure when Kraven's Last Hunt launched in the 80's that its dark tone really took readers by surprise, but in 2026, it's just another day
Oddities
  • None
