Bleeding Cool previously talked about Spider-Man: The Lost Hunt, a series teased in the final issue of Ben Reilly: Spider-Man, one of Marvel's retro series where Marvel creators tell stories set during their previous classic runs. It's weaponized nostalgia, sure, but that describes about 95% of comics output these days. Bleeding Cool Rumourmonger-in-Chief Rich Johnston guessed the series would be written by J.M. DeMatteis, as was the Ben Reilly series, and that it would revisit the time between Kraven's Last Hunt and its sequel, Soul of the Hunter.

At the Diamond Retailer Lunch at San Diego Comic-Con, we've got some of that confirmed, as well as news that Eder Messias will be the artist on the series, which is described as a "direct spiritual sequel" to Kraven's Last Hunt. And we also got a look at the cover and some interior art.

It seems that The Lost Hunt will reveal Kraven's origins, and who doesn't love a good origin story? And more importantly, what publisher doesn't love having extra trade paperbacks to sell when the Kraven movie hits theaters in 2022? None that we've ever heard of, true believers. Spider-Man: The Lost Hunt kicks off in November!

UPDATE: Marvel has revealed more info about The Lost Hunt in a press release:

As revealed during a retailer panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2022, writer J.M. DeMatteis and Eder Messias will peel back the layers of Sergei Kravinoff to reveal how he became Kraven the Hunter in SPIDER-MAN: THE LOST HUNT.

Releasing this November, SPIDER-MAN: THE LOST HUNT is a five-issue limited series that will dive into Kraven's origins, revealing secrets and answering mysteries Spidey fans have been waiting for. Prepare to explore the depths of what made Kraven the Hunter the powerhouse villain he was!

As Peter Parker and Mary Jane prepare for their new lives in Portland, a man from Kraven's past stalks them. Who is this mystery man, and what does he want with Spider-Man? Find out when we return to the time period after SPIDER-MAN: THE FINAL ADVENTURE when Peter Parker was powerless!
