"Together in Forever", follows the final nights of a Holographic Pirate's quest to free their Lover from Zeus, the sentient black hole star that these crystalline beings orbit; hologram piracy was similar to digital piracy, except that the duplication of the seed engram took place in interplanetary space and required a line of sight with Zeus. The Pirate tackles the guilt of destroying the holograms she and her Lover used to duplicate and she struggles to cope because of her reliance on the thrills of said destruction.

You can read each part by themselves through the following links.

(ebook cover)

Blurb:

"... some days the guilt eats me alive.”

The holographic Pirate often found herself in a stand-off.

On every ship and moon, she confided her guilt with those who she was pillaging, all while keeping a record of the thousand holograms she was destroying in a bargain with the world-mind of Zeus, the impossible quasi-star that the planets and moons orbited.

Though, some were wiser than others and failed to fall for the Pirate’s tricks.

She knew the lineup of things that she regretted was reaching its maximum. The surmounting guilt was only sated by the fleeting thrills. She had recognized that, by destroying nine hundred and ninety nine holograms, she had grown to enjoy the act--and had recognized her reliance.

Destruction consumed the Pirate. Her attempts to quell the remorse had only stuck her with the guilt for all Eternity. Her decisions were made with a price.

20220728 - The Amazing Spider-man Issue 900 Comic Book Review

…

From street-level crime \ to Sinister Adaptoids. \ Responsible choice.

#HAIKUPRAJNA - The Amazing Spider-man Issue 900 Comic Book Review

…

July is the 60th anniversary of the Amazing Spider-man’s comic book, and its 900th issue falls on the 6th issue of the current run by Zeb Wells. The past arc put Peter back to fighting crime on the streets following a timeskip that passed over some event which we readers are unaware of that forced Peter to ruin, for the greater good, his relationships as both Spider-man and Peter Parker. 

About these past five issues, I really enjoyed the street level Spider-man stuff with Tombstone, White Rabbit, the Robertsons, but it is hard to say much else until we see where the plot is going, as things like MJ’s current life and Peter’s disaster are setup as obvious interest-baits to keep readers angry yet curious, though I do enjoy seeing Felicia and Peter’s relationship (seemingly) being explored again in the vacancy of him and MJ. The back-and-forth action leading to Peter getting even with Lonnie was also fun and well written with solid high and low points for Spidey and his current cast. One will either love or hate Romita Jr.’s art, but it is cool to see him doing Spider-man again, at least when Spidey’s nose is uncovered by his own blood.

That all being said, Issue 900 is a rather self-contained story that will no doubt influence the web-head’s future stories. It is fun being able to pick out who knows Peter’s secret identity, but it might be confusing if one was unaware of the past few Spider-man events and arcs.

Many characters make an appearance for Peter’s surprise birthday party; Felicia being jealous of Mockingbird, Anna Maria numb to Spidey’s villain’s hijinks, Betty Brant, Norah Winters, Aunt May, Flash, Robbie, Jonah, even the Sinister Six and the Living Brain get involved. Was glad to read Sandman's change of heart, the Adaptoid taking itself out over villain-infighting was great, and Otto's arms’ love for Spider-man was cute, too. 

The extra Public Library story hit close to home with the fees, while Jimmy Kimmel ft. Mysterio’s “DREAMLUSIONS!” and Dan Slott’s “Save the Date” rounded out the issue.

I have a physical copy of issue 700, which featured one of the biggest twists in the book’s run, although 500 and 300 were great landmarks as well. 900 was a fun issue and was well worth the read.
