it just occurred to me that (tentatively) Kraven, Taskmaster, and Black Ant are all unofficial Avengers. the latter two were, both, Secret and Dark Avengers.

Taskmaster and if we count Black Ant being basically Eric O'Grady are definitely official Avengers since like you mentioned, they both were on the Secret Avengers which are considered official Avengers teams. Their time on the Hydravengers would be unofficial in a similar vein to the Dark Avengers, since they're villain teams so the heroes wouldn't want it to count.
As for Kraven and the Avengers of the 1950s, I guess that all depends on how canon others wanna take the events of that story. But yeah he would probably be an unofficial one too.
We've got preview art and updated covers.

DAPPER RUSSIAN!
NOT EVEN THE HIPPO CAN ESCAPE HUNTED!
GOD IS COMING! RUN, GIBBON! RUN!
Marvel Executive Editor Nick Lowe offered up this preview: “We’ve been laying the groundwork for ‘Hunted’ since AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #2, so know that this story is going to be HUGE! Nick and Humberto are approaching this story to be a respectful (and insane) bookend to ‘Kraven’s Last Hunt’ and in this humble editor’s opinion, they’re NAILING it.”
Discuss.
How does anyone dislike Ramos art? That Kraven is tiight!
I've always wanted to see Rhino and Kraven interact. They are some of Spidey's more prominent Russian foes.
God, I need a Black Cat book after this is over. Marvel, make it so.

Agreed, that Kraven is awesome.
My feelings on Humberto Ramos is that he’s a spectacular artist, but his work can be a little tiresome to follow throughout a whole story. There are many moments throughout a comic where he absolutely shines, but panel to panel, I find his distorted expressions a bit abrasive and exhausting.
Again, that’s just my personal critique when it comes to Ramos doing interiors. No disrespect to a very clearly talented dude.

Y'know what's nice? Spider-Man being the only Spider-Person on the cover of his book...
I really don't like fishbowl head Vulture.
Huh, I wonder what they mean by "bookend."
Putting a cap on suicidal Kraven who "won?" and giving him a new role?
Killing Kraven again?
Well, there's Ramos on his game, and Ramos off his game...
Well, Kraven and Chameleon interact alot and they were his first Russian villains.
I know, but usually one rookie Spider-Man can beat Kraven on his own.
I for one am totally on board with Kraven being the main villain of a big event. If someone is going to take the time to properly use him, Kraven should be treated as one of Spider-Man's greatest foes. With Norman Osborn out of commission, Dr. Octopus is practically an anti hero as of the moment (which is something I'm not big on) and Venom no longer perceived as a villain in general, now is the perfect time to utilize another classic Spider-Man villain and Kraven certainly works in that element.
I also dig the idea of Kraven going after both heroes and villains alike, a hunter of his caliber should be an equal opportunist. Considering their tumultuous history, I'm surprised Kraven didn't have Chameleon on the hunt list. Be that as it may, I'm looking forward to this.
