That was fun, I guess Spencer really likes Taskmaster and Black Ant.
87 clones
why 87 ?
seems kind of excessive

Kraven's Last Hunt was published in 1987.
It just occurred to me Peter was also haunted by Ned Leed's death in Kraven's Last Hunt, hence why Spencer killed his clone off to repeat the process
i'd be very interested in getting some confirmation of "Eric's" status. does he have all of the LMD abilities? they are supposed to be stronger and faster than a baseline human according to wiki. that was always confusing to me because they were meant to be indistinguishable from the humans they were replacing. yet he survived being run through by a magic sword, presumably having his life force extinguished when Hawkeye destroyed the necromancy orb, and detonated by the Mad Thinker. who fixed him before he showed up in Bagalia? and who owns Bagalia? Black Ant had Max Fury (Nick's evil LMD) sign it over to Father (the leader of the Descendants). when Father was killed, did Eric inherit Bagalia? Zemo seems to be running things. Taskmaster is still, presumably, the sheriff of the place. and i'm not sure how Mandarin got involved in all of that. I need them to put out a official handbook to clear some of this up.
I didn't really think about this reading, but after seeing it as a note on the Marvel Wiki page for this issue, I was curious if anyone else also interpreted the events this way too.
It's that the issue implies that every Kraven appearance since Grim Hunt has just been one of his many clones and now this is the first time the "real" Kraven has shown up. Which is basically to explain how he goes from regular villain, to hitman, to kind of good guy, and back to psychopathic villain.
Maybe he wasn't involved. The guy claiming to be Mandarin didn't look like him or fight like him.
I honestly hope they never print another OHOTMU. Those things are full of things that aren't supported by the books. They even retcon things from the books, and those retcons are invariably blander than the books.
I did not had Amazing Spider-Man in my pull list anymore,but after reading the two previous issues and this one,i can say that ASM will be in my pull list during the Hunted story arc.
I am a bit out of the loop in regards of more recent developments in the Spider-Man stories as Black Cat knowing Spider-Man secret identiy.But other than that the story looked quite interesting.
Art wise no complains.Looking forward to the next story.
