GFT Retrospective #79: Grimm Fairy Tales #61 & #62

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Ticketmaster I've decided to go off-schedule this week for several reasons. First of all, doing the Mother Nature arc as individual issue releases hasn't been as good for analytics as I expected. Part of this, I'm attributing to Hurricane Milton knocking out some people's ability to access my content. The rest, I'm attributing to the fact that not having a fairy tale source to do comparative analysis with, combined with having five issues in a row on the same subject, has made these past few posts feel thin and repetitive...from both ends. In the past, I have done story arc-based posts as one, bundled review (see my posts on what I called The Redemption Arc and The Song Of Ice and Snow Arc ). But that was when I had an offline backlog to work with. Now, I'm less sure not only of my ability to read and review multiple issues in a week while also attempting to review entire television series , but of what I will be reviewing

Time Drops #74: Week of October 13, 2024

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Ticketmaster Welcome to the week to come, Ticketholders! October is going to be...scary-ambitious. Despite some release delays for this past week (which, along with Hurricane Milton, has wrecked view analytics for the month, but I'll see how this post does), I'm keeping up pretty well. With the biggest hurdle behind me ( the 1995  Goosebumps  show ), I've finished my re-watch of the  Fear Street  trilogy, and I'm halfway through the ten-episode first season of the Disney+  Goosebumps  reboot, which leaves the two movies. So I'll have a huge backlog of anime to watch when I'm done with all things R.L. Stine. I have the first part of my new  Dragon  Blog  Z  What If finished and scheduled for release next April, with a second concept kicking around in my brain, and my other projects still floating in the pipeline, including a work of original fiction, a  Natsume's Book Of Friends  Anime Spotlight  update (which I'm als

GFT Retrospective #78: Grimm Fairy Tales #60

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Natural Ticketmaster The second week of R.L. Stine October  continues, Ticketholders! It's almost 8pm Tuesday night as I'm writing this, because I spent almost all of my free time over the last two days, including the day of publication (today/yesterday/Tuesday, depending on your temporal frame of reference)  after I published it, finishing my review of the 1995 Goosebumps TV series . So give that a look when you're done here...please? As for today's (Wednesday/New Comic Book Day) content, I already talked about the various uses of "Natural" and the prevalence of the Mother Nature figure in pagan, Wiccan, and polytheistic mythologies when I reviewed  Grimm Fairy Tales #58 , the concept of "human nature" was the subject of  The Scorpion and the Frog , and it was revealed in the previous issue that the Greek Titans exist (or existed) in the Grimm Universe, so check out those posts to get your brain caught up.

Stay Tuned #54: Goosebumps (1995)

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Ticketmaster. Reviewer beware.... Welcome to Week Two of R.L. Stine October , Ticketholders! If you didn't guess from the byline, I'm reviewing Goosebumps today. Not the books (it's been twenty or thirty years since I read one), the Disney+ reboot (that's for the third week), or the movies (that's for Halloween). No, I'm reviewing the original 1995 series that ran for four seasons. So as the old tagline went, reader beware! And please remember to  Become A Ticketholder  if you haven't already, comment your favorite episode at the bottom of this post, help out my ad revenue so I don't have to steal a cursed artifact from that new shop that just opened up in town, and follow me on  Tumblr ,  Reddit ,  Facebook , and  LinkedIn  to like what you see and receive the latest hair-raising news on my content. I struggled with how to go about reviewing seventy-four episodes of content. I'm not ambitious or granular o
