20210822 - Review: "Edge of Spider-Verse"

The idea of webs,/ woven through the multiverse./ Inheritors feast.

#HAIKUPRAJNA - Review: "Edge of Spider-Verse"

"Edge of Spider-verse" is a tie-in to one of Dan Slott's big Spider-Man events. These are five cool stories which unfortunately end too soon because of the event. Some acted as launches for more appearances, but most were just one-shots. My power-ranking of the five stories are as follows:

. "SP//dr" by Gerard Way

. "Gwen Stacy Spider-Woman" by Jason Latour

. "Spider-Man Noir" by David Hine

. "I Walked With a Spider!" by Clay McLeod Chapman

. "Aaron Aikman The Spider-Man" by Dustin Weaver

This book was a gift, and all five were fine stories, but Way's SP//dr stood out to me the most, with Gwen and Noir following close behind; "Walked" was fun, too, and saved itself from last place with its lack of exposition, unlike Aikman.

20210209 Preview - Perennial City

  

HaikuPrajna

The walls prevent them,/ none want to believe in him./ Escape the city.

(Perennial Finch)

"Perennial City" is my first novel, which I have been pitching to local agents. I am asking you to read the first chapter of the final draft. It is the sample I have sent to the agents. A large amount of HaikuPrajna is based on Perennial City, and can be read online through the "Perennial City" page linked at the top of this page. 

Summary

"A teleporting man tries to escape into the Wasteland, but discovers their city is walled off. The government and telekinetic citizens don't care to confirm or deny this, and the responsible party expends their forces to keep him quiet. Charley Finch is forced into fighting through the city to evade being captured by the police department and its Chief, causing citywide property damage and injury. He decides to speak directly with City Hall, but is caught by a trap waiting for him and is imprisoned. Learns to overcome the hindrances of the city and finally escape Perennial City."
