One of the darkest Spider-Man stories ever told, this tale lives up to its reputation thanks to writing and artwork that is dismal, dirty, but discerning.

This graphic novel collects a classic Spider-Man storyline where the villain Kraven the Hunter decides to take the ultimate revenge. Kraven buries Spider-Man alive while then becoming the Spider-Man to humiliate him with the public. Meanwhile, Vermin rises from the New York sewers to attack the populace.

The better part of the story is told with narration boxes showing the internal monologues of Spider-Man, Kraven, and Vermin. It is an interesting technique as what is on their minds often doesn't match what's happening in the illustration. It does give a depth to their characterization, although I think it also gets overused.

Apparently this book ties together artwork from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, although it all looks like one cohesive storyline and art style, so I'm a bit confused about that. Anyhow, if you're like me and didn't read comics much growing up, this collection is a good introduction to one of Marvel's most famous stories. ( )

This is one of the few comic book storylines that I still distinctly remember reading. Excitement was a normal part of comics, but this story was scarier than any others I read. And it was also deeply sad. ( )

Truly one of the classic Spider-Man stories. Deeply psychological, an excellent look into the minds of hunters and their prey.
The "X-Men/Spider-Man" miniseries has strong ties to this storyline, and "Spider-Man: The Other" treads similarly thought-provoking ground, returning to the concept of The Spider within. I highly recommend all three. ( )
