A fantastic climax to the ongoing Hunted storyline that gives great resolutions to the hero and villain, while everything else looks to be fully resolved next issue. Read Full Review

Humberto Ramos continues the theme of murder by just killing this art. This book's theme-appropriate darkness accentuates the villains' menace and also Spider-Man's in his black suit when he starts to beat Kraven's ass. There's a small panel that spoke to me for some reason that was solid white with Kraven punching Spidey in the face with "KRAK". I can't wait for the (presumably) last issue of this arc. I'm either going to be devastated or relieved but there will probably be tears. Read Full Review

While "Hunted" as been pretty hit-or-miss, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #22 delivers the ending this arc needed. This is Kraven the Hunter at his finest. Spencer breaks the character down and gives meaning to his madness, while Ramos, Delgado, and Arciniega capture all the action with mixed results. Read Full Review

"HUNTED" is a must-read for any Spider-Man fan. Nick Spencer is exactly who needs to be writing Spidey right now. Read Full Review

Humberto Ramos delivers some impressively detailed art with an emphasis on great action. There are some great panels in this issue that seem full of movement and intensity. Read Full Review

Amazing Spider-Man #22 is an intense, character-driven conclusion to the "Hunted" crossover. Read Full Review

Yes this book is a little meandering, but I find it enjoyable. A couple of the subplot aspects could probably have been dispensed with, and conversely some of the plot points of this issue might have done better with a little bit more time to breathe. The situation with Mary Jane seems to be handled too briefly and I think the plotline probably didn't need to have the Vulture angle which seems to have overly complicated the story arc. That said, there is enjoyment to be had from this and Spencer, to my eyes has maintained a good standard since taking over this title. This issue does nothing to damage that position.

I wouldn’t call Hunted a straight dud, but it could have been so much more. The pacing has been its most obvious flaw, and the logical gymnastics that the resolution had to give readers will probably leave many scratching their heads. It didn’t help that the spin-off issues had much better artwork than the main story did. I… liked Hunted overall, but I find myself thinking about its potential more than its reality. I’m ready to move on. Read Full Review

I didn't dislike reading this issue at all. It's still a strong character piece for Kraven and Spider-Man with great art, it just lacks much more beyond that. As an issue, it's good. As a culmination of 11 issues, it's somewhat lackluster. Read Full Review

Amazing Spider-Man #22 was a frustrating end to what should have been a storyline with as much potential "Hunted" had to be memorable. This issue, like the majority of "Hunted," shined when the focus was on Spider-Man and Kraven. Unfortunately every other character involved from Black Cat to Kraven's Son suffered from poor development and roles in the story. All those problems dragged down what should've been an emotional ending to Nick Spencer's biggest Amazing Spider-Man story to date. Read Full Review

Love him or hate him, you can't deny that Humberto Ramos' linework is some of the most energetic in comics, but it feels like he's really laboring here. He doesn't get as much consistency from his renderings of Spider-Man as we're used to. Read Full Review

In the end, what did "Hunted" accomplish? It spun its wheels for three months and then rushed to a conclusion that ultimately sputtered out and died. The highlights were the .HU issues, which highlighted what Spencer does best: small-focus character-based stories. Ultimately, though, those one-offs weren't enough to save "Hunted" from being a completely forgettable missed opportunity of a story. Read Full Review

Really great ending.

This was a great ending. A fitting one too. Can't wait to see what comes next issue.

Nick Spencer closes a story that began with "The Last Hunt" followed in "Grim Hunt" and then disapeared because nobody knew what to do with the Kraven character. With its ups and downs, I think this issue works as an acceptable ending and returns Kraven to the place he should never have left, just as most fandom thought.

Great ending! Really enjoyed Hunted as a whole, and this was its best issue. Cannot wait for the epilogue of the story.

Ramos' Art, I just can get used to it.

I really wish they chose a different artist because a darker tone really would have helped this arc. This ending actually was surprising but in a good way. My only critique was this arc was drawn out in the middle and kind of seemed to rush the ending but overall hunted was a success for me.

Awesome ending, Spencer in fewer issues is making TASM great than Slott.

What a great way to end this arc.
Finally, Kraven has been given a closure.

A great issue and a great stoty-arc, if you like Spider-man give it a chance

I love the subtle nod to Kraven's adventures with Squirrel Girl.

Well, that was it. Surprisingly good ending, and wasn't what I expected.

Spencer did write a Kraven storyl arc like no other and even if it wasn't as good as I thought it would be, it was good enough.

This story was too long. But the ending was nice.

It was a let down for me. Spencer had some good elements but overall Hunted had more misses at the end.

I wanted to like this, but by this point I was so done with it. Somehow the conclusion feels rushed despite the series being so long and at the end of the day it just feels like The Last Hunt without the same level of nihilism or craft.

Ramos once again can't draw Spider-man, with inconsistent proportions, and he often looks like an alien.
