"Grim Hunt" has been the event the Spider-Man comics have been coming to for the past couple of months. Does it deliver the epic story it promised? The answer is yes.
This comic is what I call the start of an event. The dialogue is beautifully written and the way the scenes play out is great. I like the part when Kaine says, "Their hunting spiders." "We are not the only spiders." Time freezes at that moment. I have to think, what other spiders are there?
Julia Carpenter makes a great guest star. The run-down apartment is just gruesome. It was really a shock when (SPOILER) Ezekiel appears. That shows that Grim Hunt will be one of the biggest Spider-Man events for the years to come.
This comic is also very, very emotional. When Mattie Franklin (Spider-Woman 3) is stabbed, it just feels very sad and shows how merciless the Kravinoffs are.
The art, while not awesome, is definitely an improvement over the sketchy and gritty "Shed."
In closing, this comic is very, very good. Probably my favorite Spider-Man comic since "New Ways to Die." (When is the real Venom coming back)?
I give this comic a 4.5/5
Part two should be out next week.
