COVER BY JOE QUESADA. RON ZIMMERMAN (W). AL RIO (P). SANDU FLOREA (I). THE SCOOP: "Get Shorty" meets "The Player" in this five-issue series that dishes the dirt on the dark underbelly of show biz! Plus: In addition to an all-new 23-page story, this issue also features the 25-page "You Can Call Me Al" serial that ran in the May Marvel titles! That's 48 pages of action for only $2.99! ? THE STORY: Alyosha Kravinoff -- a.k.a. the son of "Kraven the Hunter" -- is the kind of guy that boys love to hate and girls hate to love. Trouble in leopard-skin boots, a six thousand dollar suit, and with a killer smile. Indeed, with his movie-star looks, heightened senses, razor-sharp tongue and thirty million dollar inheritance, you'd think that Al Kravinoff would be living The Life. But in reality, he's running a family legacy that makes him the first of his bloodline not to be obsessed with the death and destruction of a certain wall-crawler. Where to funnel that excess energy? Kraven is about to dive in the great fountain of all dreams, and swim with its many sharks. And god help the sleazebag producers, self-absorbed movie stars and hired goons who get in his path. Hollywood has seen its fair share of players, but no one plays the game like Kraven. Kraven wants to make a movie. And what Kraven wants, Kraven gets. ? RETAILER NOTE: GET KRAVEN will be set up in a five-part that will run in half of Marvel's titles in May, so you know everyone's going to be following it! ? THE FORMAT: The first issue of this five-part series -- which also includes the five-part serial -- is 48 pages, with no ads! Now that's a bargain! (MarvelPG) Cover price $2.99.
