Yes! More of theses! Kraven is one huge fashion faux pas. *shaking my head* I prefer femmebot nipple blaster than his... This reminds me, I need to read the latest Spider-Girl.

Lol I was watching your review while eating a sandwich and almost choked when the review cut away to the nipple blasters for a few seconds.
9:15 has some mic issue going on though.
I was thinking the Get Kraven arc you mentioned that he tries to become a movie star or some such. That must have been the inspiration for Ultimate Kraven.
Great CotM expert discussion guys. Hopefully Thor wins one month so we can get ckal to do a expert discussion.

Yeah, ckal editing that in was hilarious. We have mic issues every now and then, nothing we can really do to fix it too much....until we get better gear ;D
'Get Kraven!' follows his son, Aly's, attempt to be a movie star, I don't know if I was clear enough on it being his son and not him (Sergei). Regardless, it's a fun but dumb read (Aly can throw down with Tombstone and Spider-man but then he's scared of Punisher and gets one-shotted via a punch through a wall LOL).
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

It takes a real man to shoot lasers out of his nipples and still look confident.

Anyone really, just do the characters that win character of the month like Erik said.  |

I say Moon Knight should be next. That way, we get a video review for Wolverine, Spider-Man, and Cap for free. Four in one.

OK, I'm watching the video now, and I admit I had to pause for a while after seeing the visualisation of the nipple blast.

Back to the character himself, I got to admit I never had a problem with Kraven's style. Yes, it's totally ridiculous and nothing anyone would ever wear in real life (and would likely look terrible on screen if he ever makes it there) but the same applies for a multitude of characters. As it stands, I feel it's an iconic look and I'm glad they have retained it through the years, no revamps with him.
Random fun fact: he once nipple blasted Iceman.
As for the future, I'm pretty excited about his appearances in Black Panther's series, too. Aly fought T'Challa in Priest's BP volume, so it will be nice to see the real deal go against the Panther now, and based on interviews, his recent history and his code of honour will be touched, as well (in direct contrast with Venom # 2, but we'll have to wait and see about that, I guess). Another intriguing aspect is that, for once, Kraven will sort of be the more powerful character of the two. He's not as skilled as T'Challa by any means, but he's an accomplished fighter in his own right, and actually enhanced, while T'Challa currently is not, so things are bound to be difficult and challenging for both of them.

All your favourites win anyway, so we may as well rejoice with the only enjoyable aspects Moon Knight will ever have.

Guys we can really use positive/negative feedback. Was this segment too long? Should we talk about different elements of the character? What should we do differently for the next character of the month, or should we keep with this style?

Don't cry yet, we're only two months into this ;D I think it may have been a little too much for a casual observer. I was cool with it, but I also happen to dig Kraven, so maybe toning it down to 7-8 minutes would help in the future. But it really depends on the character and what needs to be said about him. |

Agreed, looking back I realize there was no need to go into detail about the lives of his children  |
