Nick Spencer and Ryan Ottley give us an epilogue to The Hunted story that everyone who is reading Amazing needs to check out, whether they stuck with The Hunted or not. Spencer plants a bunch of future story seeds while wrapping up his event and Ottley makes it all look great. Its rare that an epilogue makes me more excited for the book going forward, but it did just that. Read Full Review

The Hunted story arc concludes in a great epilogue issue. Loose ends get tied up, all the while a new story is built up and teased. Nick Spencer's writing and Ryan Ottley's art go together so well, this is a must read issue for Spidey fans. Read Full Review

A satisfying epilogue to Hunted that delivers for a lot of characters and their resolutions, but somewhat lacking in others. Read Full Review

The epilogue to "HUNTED" wraps up this Kraven epic nicely while setting up a ton of future Spidey drama. Read Full Review

Strong epilogue with some strangeness from Kraven at the end, but I'm glad to see the story stick the landing, possible threats with the Savage Six and Chameleon, and Pete and MJ for a moment. Read Full Review

Not every character is equally interesting but some good pacing from Spencer and some masterful cartooning from Ottley make this a fun read! Read Full Review

Amazing Spider-Man's "Hunted" crossover wraps up in a flawed but enjoyable epilogue chapter. Read Full Review

Amazing Spider-Man #23 was a mixed bag of quality. While Spencer set-up several compelling storylines to follow up on later on the overall problems with "Hunted" could not be avoided. Luckily Amazing Spider-Man #23 had Ryan Ottley's incredible artwork to elevate the entire issue above what it could have been rated. Read Full Review

While a massive cliffhanger at the end is in store, this issue was, by and large, business as usual. Read Full Review

Amazing Spider-Man feels like it's in a weird holding pattern under Spencer's pen - always looking back and never really pushing forward. Read Full Review

Ottley definitely has a particular style. In his linework, Mary Jane with her red hair looks a lot like Eve from Invincible — while Kraven and his manly facial hair resembles Mark's dad from the same book. If nothing else, it made me nostalgic for the amazing book that has since ended. In terms of Spencer, he's left a lot of possible ways forward. We'll see what he has in store. Read Full Review

"Hunted's" epilogue codifies what a complete miss this story has been, an abortive attempt to callback to "Kraven's Last Hunt" that ultimately just acts to remind readers that they could be reading a much, much better story. Read Full Review

This issue is great. I liked it a lot. By the end, I kept flipping through the pages, hoping I'd somehow missed something just so I'd have more of this to read. It's going to be a tough two week wait. I'm just so glad this book is bi-weekly. I'm glad there's actual fallout from Hunted and it isn't just going to get swept under the rug. And I was perfectly okay with the MJ stuff. They didn't do the obvious and it makes more sense for the characters involved, in hindsight. Plus, it would've been so easy. The set up here for the future excites me. I'm just super ready for Nick Spencer's second year of ASM and I'm on board for whatever comes next.

Fabulous.

As I've guessed, the Hunted epilogue was as good as the main story. Really refreshing to finally see Ottley's artwork as well.

It's great! Hunted didn't end well for me but the epilogue was much better at easing me into liking the outcomes. Love Spencer's style. Ottley, Rathburn Fairbairn work well together.

"You are Kraven the hunter the hunt begins"
"You see i dont want to hurt her i told you i'd protect her and i mean it. I try to protect her from the greatest threat she face, afer all. You, it's always you, Pete. When she die, it will be because of you. Just like all the others. And we'll finally be alone together. "

ASM 23 is a great tie up of hunted while planting seeds for the future. I can't wait to get the show on the road with this centipede villain and the new kraven is a great way to keep the villain around.

It does a good job of setting things up for the future, but it felt like that is all it was. Also Mary Jane slipping on laundry and putting her arm through a window? Okay... apparently Pete should stop lubing up his clothes.

I feel like you own clothes so I don't quite understand this.

Meet the new Kraven, same as the old Kraven. This epilogue is crafted OK, but I can't escape the feeling of inconsequentiality. All this volume ever really does is drag Spidey through stories that leave him slightly exhausted but otherwise unchanged.

And I know the Mighty Marvel Marketing Department still wants to pretend that Ryan Ottley is this volume's lead artist, but he's had so little to do with the Hunted arc that these visuals come across as third-party commentary rather than a final chapter from a unified creative team.
