Araña Vol. 3: Night of the Hunter collects Araña: The Heart of the Spider nos. 7-12 with writing by Fiona Kai Avery and art by Roger Cruz, Francis Portella, and Jonboy Meyers. Anya Corazon and WebCorp must work to take down the mysterious Jade, brought to New York City to work with the Wasps. Anya feels alone in this mission as she believes that Jade killed her mother while she was living in Mexico City as a young girl. Her father is distant as he tries using his reporter's credentials to work with law enforcement to bring Jade to justice. When Anya asks her father if he wants revenge, he admits that, tempting as the thought may be, he'd rather see justice because he believes it's what his wife would have wanted.
As Araña, Anya wants to unleash the Hunter, but Miguel cautions restraint because he doesn't want to see her become a killer. Meanwhile, Anya works on her uneasy truce with Amun, who maintains his promise only to work against her when she is in the guise of Araña on WebCorps missions, but tries to help her as Anya Corazon. This was the final standalone story for Araña, though she appeared in various tie-ins to Civil War, Grim Hunt, and Ms. Marvel before her brief standalone Spider-Girl series. As part of Marvel's goal to create the next generation of heroes, Araña was one of the most successful, though she didn't have many long-running solo series. Avery continues to tell an excellent story while the art offers a dynamic, youthful look befitting a new young hero. Like the other two Araña volumes, my main complaint is Marvel’s decision to reprint Araña's stories in this small digest format, which compresses some of the art (making text difficult to read at some point) and used cheaper paper than other collections from this period.

Araña Vol. 1: The Heart Of The Spider collects Amazing Fantasy vol. 2, nos. 1-6, introducing Anya Corazon who becomes Araña the Hunter. The story builds upon concepts J. Michael Straczynski developed during his run in Amazing Spider-Man, with Ezekiel Sims' concept of totemic powers. This comic focuses on one of his companies, WebCorps, who use magic to tap into that totemic power. Anya nearly dies when she attempts to save Miguel, one of the mages, who awakens the powers within her and works to train her. Along the way, she struggles to balance life as a high school student with her desire to take care of the world in honor of her mother's memory.
Marvel used this second volume of Amazing Fantasy with the goal of introducing new young heroes, just as the original introduced Spider-Man. Though Araña was the only one to last, her character later played a key role in Spider-Man story arcs such as Spider-Verse. Writer Fiona Avery perfectly captures the tone for a high school aged hero of the twenty-first century while Mark Brooks and Roger Cruz's art has just the right stylized touch to stand out among other comics of the period without looking too garish. My only real complaint about this book is that Marvel only reprinted Araña's stories in this small digest format, which compressed some of the art and used cheaper paper than other collections from this period.

I LOVED the art in this Mr. Clayton Crain is a true artiste (the e was added to make it sound French). The story was decent and I love the idea of the ghost of an honorable samurai being trapped in the body of a conman and them having to get along. Great character concept.
