Edge of Spider-Verse Vol 2 #5 - CGC 9.8 - Virgin Cover

On Earth-31, Sergei Kravenoff completes a ritual before hunting in Zimbabwe for a legendary lion, only to find it already dead. Pounced upon, Kraven is bitten by a massive spider larger than the lion, but Kraven is the hunter and slays his quarry. Three months later, J. Jonah Jameson uses his own fortune to hire the "Hunter-Spider" to take down the beast men supervillains of New York City, with the first defeated being the Rhino. Mounting the other animal themed villains on his wall, Kraven muses on how might the people feel seeing his prizes. However, he soon finds himself beset by a swarm of wasps, smelling they carry a deadly toxin that can transmute his being and poison his psyche... were he an ordinary man. With his potions augmenting his senses and immune system, along with the spider venom, Kraven consumes the wasps and transmutes them into added power for himself. At the Spider Sanctuary, Madame Web talks with Araña and Spider-UK before Hunter-Spider finds them, willing to join as a warrior against Shathra, seeking a formidable prey. As Madame Web emphasizes that she is formable and deadly, Kraven is eager to join to put down that beast.
