Mike McKone — Spider-Man: The Hunt Becomes Grim

Wizard Magazine #223, April 2010

Today we wrap up our month-long celebration of Spider-Man’s upcoming 60th anniversary.

Mike McKone brings his own take to Spidey rising from the grave — with Kraven’s daughter seeking revenge for what happened to dear departed dad. (It’s a bit more complicated than that, but you get the idea.) This Wizard story previews “The Gauntlet” and “Grim Hunt” which are also essentially sequels to Kraven’s Last Hunt.

Mike Zeck spoke about the original cover image in Back Issue #35, from 2009:

“If an issue has a scene with the title hero rising from his own grave, it’s like receiving the number-one gift on your Christmas list! Anyone spending even one second mulling over a cover idea for that issue would have been in the wrong business.”
