Cover Charge #13: Alice In Wonderland

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Pagemaster It's really appropriate that this is the thirteenth issue of Cover Charge , because both times I read Alice In Wonderland  (a.k.a. Alice's Adventures In Wonderland , or Alice's Adventures Under Ground , as it was called in its original manuscript form), I felt as if I had been cursed to die of annoyance and boredom with my brain pouring out of my ears. Whether because it simply melted from prolonged exposure to such pointless idiocy, or it fled in terror, piece by piece, from Lewis Carroll 's most famous work occupying my short-term memory, I cannot begin to guess. My issues with the book begin with Alice herself. I suppose it's to be expected of children of a certain age, but Alice is Dunning-Kruger personified. She's lazy, impatient, inconsiderate, self-important, violent toward animals, and so stupid that she thinks her own stupidity is the result of her being changed with someone stupider than herself (which ...

Time Drops #133: Week of December 28, 2025

Content Calendar Announcement, Week of December 28, 2025 by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Festive Ticketmaster. New Year's Week  is here, Ticketholders! And I'm no longer ahead of the game. I haven't written a word of anything for this coming week yet, and only subjected myself to the long-winded, unfocused bullshit that is Alice's Adventures In Wonderland as far as content consumption goes. As you'll see below, I have decided to put the  Gachiakuta  review off for another week or two so I can focus on the new year to come.  As for analytics, I'm still trying to get December 2025 to ten thousand views, and with my paid SEO from  BlogPros  acting up this month, I need your awesome support more than ever. I will still be  keeping you updated on my progress on a weekly basis,  and  doing  TBT '25  (and whatever I decide to call it next year) pushes on social media to promote my old posts one Thursday at a time (because communication ...

Just the Ticket #199: It's Alive!

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Merry TixMaster. Or, I would be Merry if Christmas were still coming. And if I hadn't started writing this after watching the first movie in the series up for review today (re-up your vision insurance if you don't know what that is...and if vision insurance still exists). Instead, I'm feeling more than a little sacreligious at the moment (and I was in that mindset months ago when I chose this series of three movies and a remake for the week of Christmas) because the original, pre-commercialism but post-pagan, religiously appropriated purpose of the holiday was to celebrate the birth of a magic bastard child who got gold and herbs from some old hippies as a baby and grew up to be a carpenter, get all the bitches, spread peace and love, perform divine parlor tricks for his twelve closest bros, get betrayed, tortured, and executed over money, and cause centuries of sociopolitical justification for overpopulation because he might be a Jew...

Zenescope - Omnibusted #38: Madness Of Wonderland

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Festive Omnibuster . Christmas Eve has found you, Ticketholders! If that sounded creepy, it's because of the miniseries I'm reviewing today, so don't be mad. Or do; we all go a little mad sometimes. Now where did I put my mistletoe, eggnog, and gingerbread tea...? It's kind of a crazy twist of fate that I chose to review At the Mountains Of Madness and In the Mouth Of Madness as part of my Omnibusted on Wonderland Ongoing Volume Two last week, because there's a reason this series is called Madness Of Wonderland , which I will get into as the review goes on. For now, though, let's talk Trade. Zenescope has gotten to the point where the ComiXology version and digital offerings through...other means are identical, so with the exception of Grimm Fairy Tales , Myths & Legends , and probably a few upcoming new and sequel series, I'll most likely not include a comparison section unless I notice something glitchy about...

Stay Tuned #61: X-Men '97

Image
Article by  Sean Wilkinson , a.k.a. The Uncanny TiX-Master. Christmas is three days away, Ticketholders! And ever since  Disney  dropped the first season of  X-Men '97  last year, I had been wanting to revisit X-Men: The Animated Series (which I did for last Tuesday's review), and the month of X-Mas seemed like the perfect time. I had even intended to include '97 in that review and post the whole thing today because I had heard it was a continuation of the original series (hence naming it after the year The Animated Series concluded). However, once I watched the first episode of '97  (and especially after two episodes, because hoh-leigh shiot, the reveals are already insane), I realized that I had too much to talk about to lump it in with its predecessor, so I finished editing and scheduled the Animated Series review a week early so I could devote the entire Christmas week Stay Tuned to X-Men '97 . X-Men '97 isn't just a continuation of X-Men: The Anim...

Anime Spotlight #66: Rascal Does Not Dream Of Santa Claus

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Rascally Animeister. Merry Christmas week, Ticketholders! I promised in this Easter's review of the Bunny-Girl anime and first three Rascal movies that if things worked out in terms of release schedule, I would review Rascal Does Not Dream Of Santa Claus for Christmas, and here we are. I'd rather skip the usual credits copy that I start off these Anime Spotlight reviews with, but in the spirit of the series' quantum insanity (and because copy and paste exist, and I have some slightly different things to say), I've decided to repeat myself as a gift just to mess with you. Though not sporting the lengthiest title I've ever seen, 2025's  Rascal Does Not Dream Of Santa Claus  is a thirteen episode anime adaptation of the next three Volumes of the  Rascal  (literal Japanese translation:  Teenage Pig )  Does Not Dream  light novel-turned- manga  series (as is the typical print media model in Japan) written by...
