What are the best comics to learn about Kraven?

[Gripstir]

So I had this theory that Kraven would actually be a very good antagonist for Gambit as they are very similar in a lot of ways. But I want to do some Kraven research deep dive. Ive read The Last Huntsnd there was a recent issue of Spider-Man where his son killed his other kids and Kraven was so proud that I read.

I'd like to know which comics you might suggest that showcase Kravens psychology or lore. I'm really interested in stories that could showcase Kraven as a complex villain where he is evil but there's a certain honorable component to him and his hunt.

Newer comics that show what he is like now would be preferred but if there are some really good deep dives into his complex character I would like to read them.

I could just go to like an appearance list website but I'd prefer a personal touch from fans. This is why I'm sad about comic shops during this time and how they are struggling, they were always great at helping you out

Thank you! I'll check this out. And if there's anymore that aren't him as the main villain but shows some interesting interactions or quotes or anything I'd love those smaller stories too
