THE LAST LOST HUNT!

In less than a week, the final issue of Spider-Man: The Lost Hunt hits shops. It's a three-way showdown between Spidey, Gregor, and Aja Orisha. No, make that four way—because Mary Jane isn't one to stand on the sidelines.

I've had a blast with this series and I hope you enjoy our concluding chapter. (Will there be more new Spidey tales ahead for me? Time will tell...)

  1. Let me get that straight.

    What you are saying is, because it has The Human Target, Captain Kirk, Vanessa Fisk, Odo, Alicia Masters, Jenkins, Anne from Vertigo's Lucifer, Victoria Hand, Moon Girl's grandfather, SHIELD agent Rosalind Price, Fury, and Dr. Daniel Jackson, Boston Legal is all a sub dimension created as part of some comics Crisis? Some kind of fake world trapping folks for some reason during some crossover event?

    I am sorry Dematteis, I am going to have to disagree with you on this one. This theory of yours is too out there .

  2. Thankyou so much for this five issue gift sir, it was a pleasure to read, I'm so happy for the depiction of Mary Jane also, you've always been one of the best craftsman of her character. I too greatly anticipate the announcement of your next Spidey project, whatever it might be, it will make mine marvel! March on merrily, and keep hunting!

    1. So glad you enjoyed it, Zarius! There will be more Spidey in the future, but nothing I can talk about yet!

    2. Also...your kind words about the Millar interview were accidentally deleted (I hit the wrong button!), but they were read and appreciated! And, yes, Mark seems like a truly good guy. I really enjoyed our talk.

    3. Oops, butterfingers, rofl, that's OK sir, human error is what makes us all so three-dimensional and we craft that into our characters!

  5. I loved this and your Ben Reilly mini. I was just wondering if you would ever return back to the Ben Reilly character considering he’s one of my favorites and I’m one of the very few who liked the Clone Saga era. :)

    1. Actually, there are a LOT of Ben fans out there (and I, of course, am one of them). I'd love to return to the character, perhaps doing a series that dips back into the LOST YEARS saga. Many untold tales there. But, in the end, that's Marvel's call, not mine.

    1. Thanks so much! I'm sure I'll be working for DC again. In the meantime, there are 40+ years of my DC stories out there to explore!

  8. This may be controversial, but...

    Denny O'Neil, Len Wein, and Mark Gruenwald were all talented creators, no doubt, but I think their more valuable contributions to the medium of comics were as editors.

    Keep in mind that this is coming from a guy who thinks he 'Neil is shortchanged for how much he did to rebuild Batman into what he is, thinks Squadron Supreme is unfairly overlooked, and is annoyed people pretend Swamp Thing did not get provoking until Moore wrote the book.


    Your hero,
    Jack

    1. There's a lot to me said for that POV. All were superb writers, but equally superb editors who expanded their impact in the industry through the talents they nurtured and the books they edited.

    2. Man, what a great mini series overall. Thank you for writing more adventures of a Married Peter and MJ.

      Delete
  9. I just want to say thank you for writing such a wonderful mini series. A pity that Peter and MJ aren't currently together in the comics but at least we have this. I pray to whatever higher power there is that we get more Spider-man comics like this.

    The second issue brough a tear to my eye with its refrain of "Mary Jane I love you."

  10. Are you still working on spider-man later this year or magneto mini was the project you were alluding to?

    1. Magneto is the one for this year. But I suspect there will be more Spidey in 2024!

  11. Do you prefer Spider-Man married or single?

    ReplyDelete

    1. As you might be able to tell from my stories, I'm a BIG fan of the marriage. Love the Peter-MJ dynamic. That said, I also enjoy telling stories set back in the day when Peter was a teenager just figuring out his life as Spidey.

      Delete
    2. I think the marriage works because it's another step of Peter gaining more responsibility as he gets older. Which fits the character. MJ is a wonderful character when written well, which you do in spades.

      I only wish that Marvel Editoral would bring the marriage back full time.

      Delete
    3. Everything in comics is cyclical. I suspect the marriage will return one day.

  12. What do you think about Sony making an R-rated Kraven the Hunter film?

    1. It all depends on the finished product. Impossible to judge these things in advance.
