KRAVENS LAST HUNT:Fearful Symmetry , one of the best horror stories that will never be made into a movie!

    Life is meaningless! Chaos! This universe has no center! It's 
creator is a drooling idiot! But Kraven The Hunter had a plan. Since I reviewed movies like BLOOD FREAK , THE BLOOD WATERS OF DOCTOR Z , TRACK OF THE MOON BEAST , and SHE FREAK , and with Halloween being so close , I started thinking about KRAVENS LAST HUNT:Fearful Symmetry.  I love these movies , they are fun , funny , gory , crazy , good time cinema ,  and I don't look down on them , but KRAVENS LAST HUNT is a story that has something these movies , and alot of other horror movies , don't have and that is that KRAVENS LAST HUNT is really creepy , spooky , scary , and explores death in a way these movies don't. Lots of people die in these other movies but  KRAVENS LAST HUNT , (KLH , for short) points out that we are all going to die someday and that's fucking scary!

    Spidey is my favorite comic book character , and KLH is one of my all time favorite comic book stories. KLH is the darkest Spidey tale ever written but it does not have to resort to nasty language , graphic violence and sex to be effective. And I love all that shit but this story is a hard hitting , breathless , sweaty , read it in the middle of the night excursion into tightrope terror , without all that , and is a testament to the writing talents of J.M. DeMatteis and the artistic talents of Mike Zeck.

    KRAVENS LAST HUNT is about the final battle between Spider-Man and Kraven , and a nocturnal rat man that is stalking the rain swept streets of N.Y. and eating beautiful females. That's the gist. So if you don't all ready read comix , well then you probably won't ever start reading them , but if you do like all the movies I been reviewing and you like all this shit then I suggest you get this.The rat man , Vermin , is everything the best movie monsters are supposed to be. He's scary and vicious but also tragic and you do feel sorry for him , at least I did by the end of the story , and Kraven is also monstrous but has honor and a code he lives by , he has depth and is a great villain and a great character! His arc through this story is great and makes him one of the top villains EVER in all of comic books.
    And this story is pretty much the perfect marriage of story and art. Mike Zeck is a great artist and his art is suited for more muscular , high octane , grittier stories and works great for KLH. At it's heart KLH is a horror story , it really is much darker , gloomy , and gothic than %85 of the horror movies I 've seen in the last 15 yrs ,and since it's a comic it's like this secret only I know about and have re-visited many times and it gets a little better each time.

    I suggest you buy it for your personal collection but you can get it at the library and when you read it I hope it's by candle light in the middle of the night during a thunder storm! I won't even get into the thoughts I have on KLH if they made it into a movie! -arty
