** Rhino getting captured by Black Ant and Taskmaster is a halfway example; he may have been a Supervillain, but he was on decent terms with Spider-Man beforehand and the fact Spidey apparently just leaves him to his fate leaves him feeling genuinely betrayed.

* AnimalMotifs: As Taskmaster, Black Ant, and Spider-Man keep {{Lampshading}}, it's not hard to see the theme in the rogues being kidnapped on Kraven's orders. Kraven wants to make the many animal themed villains live up to the totem they are claiming to represent. Amusingly, Taskmaster and Black Ant note that they considered whether Hammerhead counted on account of having the name of the Shark species but they decided he hadn't really committed to the theme the way others did. Taskmaster also notes gloatingly, that [[spoiler:Black Ant never cottoned on to the fact that an Ant is an animal too]].

Vulture was handed a device that allowed him to cheat and behead a Kraven drone, and then assigned to lead a hit squad of supervillains to kill as many of those drones as possible, while unknown to him, allowing Kraven and Arcade to plot a culling that wipes out the rest of these totemic rogues]].

* BadassInDistress: Spidey and a whole bunch of villains are in this situation
* BigBadDuumvirate: Kraven, his son, Arcade and a whole lot of rich folks with high-powered weaponry and armor.
* DreamingOfThingsToCome: In issue #17, Spidey gets a strange vision of MJ being supposedly struck down by something or someone.
* MythologyGag: Issue #17 has a ton towards ''ComicBook/KravensLastHunt'':
** The ColdOpen has a naked Kraven snarling at a stuffed leopard before approaching an empty casket.
** Spider-Man swings through New York with a feeling of dread.
** When Spidey is captured, he's put into his old black costume, which he was wearing during that time.
* ARealManIsAKiller: Kraven seems to want to instill this on both the rich hunters he's recruited and the supervillains he's captured. And probably Spider-Man as well.
* {{Retcon}}: For years, fans had believed Kraven's temporary death at the hands of [[ComicBook/ScarletSpider Kaine Parker]] counted as removing the former's immortality. Issue #17 reveals that it had not.
* WouldHurtAChild: One of the animal-themed people is young Billy Conners, who was captured by pure luck due to [[IJustWantToBeNormal his desire to live a normal life]].
* WouldHurtAWoman: Some of the targets include the White Rabbit, Lady Octopus, the female Beetle, and the Black Cat.
