I picked up Trinity this week. I almost didn't. But I got it, and I must say, this week's issue was pretty awesome. It was mostly all exposition, tying together the last several issues worth of events, but it was pretty good exposition, and it made Batman out to be quite the intellectual badass, which I always like. Looks like I'll be sticking with it, at least for another week.
It's a new Kraven. I thought everyone understood that BND was going to focus on Spidey's rogues gallery, particularly the classic villains (or an updated version of them).

There's been like 3 new Kravens. That was kinda my point.

Please tell me about these other versions of Kraven

One was his long last son that took over the roll during the early part of the Clone Saga. He fought Ben Reilly, but was quickly killed off by Kaine and never went anywhere. Post-Clone Saga, JM DeMattais did an excellent job bringing in another long lost son to be the new Kraven and he teamed up with Calypso. Well, technically she used her magic to make he and Spider-Man fight for revenge for the death of Kraven, but the new Kraven broke free of the spell, shook hands with Spidey and then killed Calypso.
I'm not sure if this was the same Kraven that was in that ridiculous "Get Kraven" Hollywood / Crocodile Hunter style mini-series or if it's the smae one in the recent Punisher War Journal, all of which seemed completely different from the version JM did post-CS.
So, ya, if this is yet another long lost child of Kraven, I think it's getting a little ridiculous now.

Well, when you were a major playa' like Kraven, you're bound to have a few bastards floating out in the gene pool.
My only problem is that there all the same freakin' boring character. Hopefully they can make something more out of the latest, boob-tastic version.
Disappointment, albeit a minor one
Moon Knight was not quite as awesome as I hoped
Half of the double-sized issue, at the least, was a reprint of Moon Knight's first appearance in Werewolf by Night
Man no
I want a new story about him and the Wolf, thanks
However, Spike was pretty bad-ass
As was 1985 holy fuckleberries
Bale, rage harder man
Rage harder
Because you are missing out on quality shit
I'm not fond of the art for the last couple issues of Ghost Rider
Some of the proportions just look off
Nothing blatant, but it's off by just enough so that you know there's something wrong
it actually wasn't until fairly late in the game that it hit me that ennis' punisher is really one long-form story.
Reading them as trades makes this obvious after The Slavers
yeah, it was right around there and man of stone where it started to become apparent what he was doing. the man is really the best writer the punisher has ever had (and maybe will ever have)
I don't think it's fair to make the comparison - the Ennis Punisher is entirely different than the Fraction Punisher (which Fraction himself has said is by design).

Oh god it is so dumb it is awesome.
MA was fuckawesome though. That was a brutal fight.
But then again Kraven's Last Hunt is my favorite Spider-Man story so

Really I'm not fond of the way he draws the humans
But the demons and shit?
That, I like
"Don't feel sorry for them, Simon! They're not even human!"
"Don't waste ammo on them. We'll need it later."
"Oh. Okay."
RAGE

Edit - I typed Ellis when I meant Ennis. Mai-Kero has immortalized my shame. Oh the humanity.
I wonder if Ellis has ever written Punisher.
Yesssss.
Embrace your hatred.
Became hate. Become RAGE.
Anyway, Cap was... eh. But I've finished all of Y but the last trade. So that's my MotW.
