Spider-Man & Araña Special: The Hunter Revealed

    (Marvel, 2006)
™ and © Marvel Characters, Inc.

Although this special is probably not a great starting point if you’re unfamiliar with Spider-Man’s young protégé, it does provide an important chapter in the advancement of that character’s story:

Caught, as usual, in the middle of the feud between the Wasp and Spider Clans, Araña discovers some previously unrevealed powers, and a major supporting character finally achieves their destiny. But tragically, a close companion also loses their life.

An unexpected manga interlude, though poorly transitioned, will provide a treat for fans of that media, and supply some much-needed backstory for Spidey fans not keeping up with Araña’s adventures. Unfortunately, the Webslinger himself is pretty much just along for the ride—and to give Araña some timely fatherly advice while showing off his latest costume design.
