7 Comic Book Storylines We Want To See On The Big Screen

Kraven’s Last Hunt

Not only one of the best Spider-Man storylines, “Kraven’s Last Hunt” is one of the best overall comic storylines. It shows the villainous Kraven the Hunter traveling to New York to have one last battle with Spider-Man. He’s successful in that he ends up shooting the hero and burying him in a grave, seemingly killing him. Kraven then dons a copy of Spidey’s suit and spends weeks fighting crime, looking to prove himself superior in every way.

Of course, Spider-Man isn’t dead. Kraven only shot him with a tranquilizer dart and as such, he awakens in the grave angry and desperate to get out. When he hunts down Kraven, the hunter doesn’t fight back, having already proven his superiority. By accomplishing everything he needed to do, he then returns home and kills himself.

It’s an incredibly dark storyline, and even though it’s heralded as one of the greats, we’ll probably never see it played out in live-action. We’ll most likely see Kraven on the big screen sooner rather than later, but the true depth of his character will probably remain unexplored, which is just a darn shame.
