In the whole Marvel-Verse, nobody is as skilled a hunter as Kraven - and these are the tales that show how nobody is safe from his predatory prowess! Sergei Kravinoff and his family will prove more than a match for a trio of action-packed arachnid adventurers - Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy and Miles Morales! But it is Spider-Man who will prove to be Kraven's greatest rival - and his ultimate prey! Whether the Hunter is targeting Peter himself, or setting his sights on the winged menace known as the Vulture, you can guarantee that the ensuing Kraven/Spidey battle will be wild! But when Kraven switches his focus to Deadpool, the chaos will attract the attention of the Avengers

About the author

Erik Burnham is a Minnesotan writer and artist that first broke into comics with a series of humorous short stories in the Shooting Star Comics Anthology. These stories featured his original creation, Nick Landime, and culminated in a one-shot: Nick Landime vs. the World Crime League, published by Shooting Star in 2005.

Off and on, in this same time period, Erik also produced a short run of an online strip, The Down Side, until technical issues wore him down. He aims to return to the strip one day.

In 2007, Erik found produced work for two other anthologies – a short humor piece for History Graphics Press’ Civil War Adventures #1, and a horror story for Gene Simmons’ House of Horror #3, produced by IDW Publishing.

This lead to several other projects for IDW, up to and including his critically acclaimed run on the ongoing GHOSTBUSTERS comic book.

Erik has worked on other projects not related to comic books, and hopes one day to share those with the public at large. In the meantime, he still lives quietly in Minnesota; any rumors about this being because he’s completely afraid of the forty-nine other states (and Canada) remain unverified at this time.

[Guilherme Smee · Rating 2 out of 5]

A proposta da coleção Marvel-Verse é a de trazer histórias já publicadas pela Marvel voltadas para novos leitores, focando em determinados personagens. Como Kraven está em foco por causa do novo filme que vem aí. Vale dizer que todas essas histórias eu já tinha lido recentemente. Inclusive a que envolve o Deadpool saiu no Marvel-Verse Wolverine e Deadpool que saiu poucos meses atrás. Todas elas são bem medianas, nada de mais, talvez a melhor delas seja aquela que foi publicada na coleção Spidey, que saiu no Homem-Aranha: Aranhaverso alguns anos atrás. Muitas delas são voltadas para um público leitor infanto-juvenil da Marvel. O bom dessas coleções Marvel-Verse é que muitas delas trazem material inédito no Brasil. Mas infelizmente não foi o caso deste volume aqui, que repetiu muita coisa publicada no Brasil anteriormente, e pior, dentro dessa mesmíssima coleção. Uma pena, esse volume foi bem nhé.
