We\u2019ve reached the halfway mark in this saga, though I already feel like it\u2019s been going on for 20 issues. Instantly famous cover, this one. I guess all those spiders helped our man dig out. Two weeks into his marriage and he\u2019s been buried alive. And while he\u2019s buried alive, he\u2019s hallucinating or dreaming or something that he\u2019s floating nuder in a white void, curled into the fetal position, being confronted by dead friends who turn to piles of bones when you tell them they\u2019re dead.

Then he get in on that sweet \u201cI am The Spider\u201d action Kraven\u2019s been on for awhile, imagining himself a big spider crawling through holes in the ground.

Spider-Man comics are so fun, guys. The spider dies and gives birth to a fully grown Peter Parker (Strangely not the last time THAT visual will appear in a Spider-Man comic), who begins clawing his way through the darkness babbling about \u201cyou\u2019ve killed a mask, you haven\u2019t killed me,\u201d calling on Mary Jane to help him through this, imagining Kraven shooting him over and over, until\u2026

Check out that super misaligned color plate on the “Spider-Man.” I\u2019m surprised that doesn\u2019t seem to be having a more obvious effect on the rest of the page. The dangers of 4-color printing. Our man stumbled a few steps, falls down, gets back up. He finally shambles into the house, where he discovers a pile of newspapers letting him know what\u2019s been going on while he was in the dirt.

Two weeks really seems like pushing it. I mean, I\u2019m actually prepared to accept the explanation that Kraven pumped Spidey full of drugs that kept him alive that long, but nothing in the story before now has really felt like it took place on more than one night, let alone across 2 weeks. MJ is not nearly panicked enough. Kraven took too weeks to find Vermin? This just doesn\u2019t work for me. Spidey rampages through Kraven\u2019s trophy room, continuing to yell \u201ctwo weeks\u201d and so forth internally while he tears up all Kraven\u2019s hunting trophies. Two of Kraven\u2019s goons come in and are pretty scared, but Spidey doesn\u2019t hurt them. Quick cut to Vermin coming out of the darkness to test an electrified cage he seems to be in, then after a page of a despondent MJ watching TV as Peter narrates about how hard the last 2 weeks must have been for her\u2026

Weird stuff happening with the magenta plate in this issue, too, rarely more obvious than that last panel. I bet another copy of this issue would look very different. Peter wakes up from a nightmare that he\u2019s in the ground again, and then suits up. He\u2019s not really able to speak in more than a whisper for some reason, but he says he has to go stop Kraven killing people in his name. MJ can\u2019t talk him out of it. Then he\u2019s off in the rain (I guess it\u2019s been raining for 2 solid weeks). He swings directly to some building in the city, to a specific window on said building, and guess what, that\u2019s where Kraven is.

Oh, yeah, sure. That makes sense. Why not, man? Why not? I\u2019m just trying to get through this, at this point. I can do this. I\u2019ve faced death. I\u2019ve survived hurricanes. I\u2019ve traveled alone in foreign countries. I\u2019ve moved to a city I don\u2019t know for a job I didn\u2019t know how to do. I can finish Kraven\u2019s Last Hunt.
