MAJOR SPOILERS DISCUSSION: Kraven's Last Hunt

“Kraven’s Last Hunt” (also known as “Fearful Symmetry”) is an acclaimed comic book storyline by J.M. DeMatteis and Mike Zeck published in 1987, featuring the final battle between Kraven the Hunter and Spider-Man. The story took place in Web of Spider-Man #31-32, Amazing Spider-Man #293-294 and Spectacular Spider-Man #131-132.
The story has two themes that occur repeatedly: Kraven frequently saying to himself, “They said my mother was insane.” with the last time being just before he commits suicide; as well as a version of the chorus of William Blake’s poem The Tyger: “Spyder, spyder burning bright! In the forests of the night what immortal hand or eye could frame thy fearful symmetry?”
