DeMatteis Day - Kraven on the MTA


Sat next to this dude on the subway this morning; sketched a quick portrait. He didn’t look too pleased and rumbled something about “knife” and “ribs,” but I got off the train before there was any trouble.

Seriously, I think Kraven’s Last Hunt is an extraordinary piece of comics storytelling. Mike Zeck’s artwork is incredible and it’s powered along by one of the most certain, unsettling and psychologically informed scripts ever published in the mainstream comics arena. Kudos and thanks to you Mr DeMatteis.

  1. This looks great, Nick. I'm glad to see Kraven got some love. I also took the liberty of adding tags to your post so people can find this slice of awesomeness in the future.

  2. Glad to see both an Abadzis pic AND that someone picked up the slack I shamefully dropped and did a Kraven the Hunter.
