Amazing Spider-Man #18 (LGY #819) COVER by Ramos, 2019 -- "Hunted" Part 2 -- ft. Spidey, Black Cat and tons of villains!

I am beyond thrilled to pick up this cover by one of my all-time favorite Spidey artists, Humberto Ramos.

I really enjoyed the "Hunted" story line that ran through Amazing Spider-Man #16-23, with three additional issues (18.HU, 19.HU and 20.HU) that provided more in depth looks into some of the characters involved. I found issue 18.HU, which focused on the Gibbon, to be particularly poignant and heart-wrenching.

I won't go into the whole story line, because if you haven't read it, I don't want to give anything away. And you SHOULD read it if you haven't already. I'm sure there is already a trade paperback you can pick up.

In a nutshell, the plot involves Kraven, Arcade, the Lizard, the Black Cat, and a whole lot of animal-themed villains being 'Hunted,' with Spidey of course being thrown into the fray. And if you want one image that encapsulates the feel of this story, it doesn't get much better than the image on this cover. I especially like that although the villains are all fleeing, Spidey and the Black Cat are still facing forward, looking right into the danger, like the true heroes they are.
