Nine months after the chaos of the Rhino’s rampage, Peter Parker is nearing the end of his first year at Empire State University with Gwen — trying to juggle studies, love, work and a city that never stops bleeding. During a raid on an Oscorp facility to stop the Shocker (Herman Schultz), a massive explosion leaves Peter severely injured — and accidentally releases a strange black organism known as the Venom Symbiote. The alien bonds with him, healing his wounds and amplifying his powers, but also feeding on his rage and grief. As Peter grows faster, stronger, and more ruthless, a new predator arrives in New York: Sergei Kravinoff, the world’s deadliest hunter, seeking to claim Spider-Man as his ultimate trophy. What follows is a brutal game of predator and prey — one where Peter may no longer know which side he’s on. Spider-Man: The Last Hunt is a dark, R-rated evolution of Peter’s story — a visceral battle between man, monster, and morality. As Kraven tracks him through the streets and rooftops of New York, Spider-Man’s growing bloodlust and aggression begin to consume him, straining his relationship with Gwen and terrifying those who once saw him as a hero. Kraven doesn’t just want to kill Spider-Man; he wants to break him — to prove that even gods bleed. In a savage, rain-soaked finale, Peter must fight both the hunter and the darkness inside himself, realizing that the greatest enemy isn’t Kraven or Venom… it’s what he’s becoming while trying to survive.
