Finally, after a lean period we get a really great episode again! "The Hunter and the Hunted" features jungle hero Ka-Zar and his sabretooth companion Zabu as guest stars but, more prominently, Spider-Man villain Kraven the Hunter in his first animated appeareance! Essentially, Kraven is just a dude with a knife in leggins and a weird lion-shaped vest, but I really have a soft spot for him. There's something about him.
J. Jonah Jameson hires Kraven to capture Zabu in the Savage Land, a vast landmass in the Antarctica where dinosaurs still exist. Zabu is brought to New York City, so his best friend Ka-Zar (sort of a Tarzan expy by Marvel) follows them to the concrete jungle.
Spider-Man and Ka-Zar meet and have a classic superhero misunderstanding before teaming up against Kraven. This episode, just like "Bubble, Bubble, Oil and Trouble" just nails what Spidey is all about and is just around very entertaining fun.
The only downside is that Jameon's nephew Mortimer, who's as annoying as ever, makes a prominent return.
