Just the Ticket

Content Calendar Announcement, Week of March 1, 2026 by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Ticketmaster. It doesn't really look like it, but I intend March to be a more chill month than February was, with only one Anime Spotlight and the majority of my Zenescope - Omnibusted posts being compilations so that I can actually make progress on my big milestone project and focus on Goj -Year- ra reviews and getting ahead on my April content. I did take time last weekend messing around with HeroMachine to provide supplemental materials for the big project, but nothing fruitful emerged, so I'll have to keep at it a little at a time. Weekly  TBT '26  pushes will still be a thing on my socials as I promote my old posts one Thursday at a time because you seem to really like that, but aside from this post containing the March calendar, I'll most likely not do weekly Time Drops this month so I can slow the Just the Ticket Countdown to One Thousand and give myself more time to create w...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Ticketmaster. When I tasked myself with watching every Godzilla film ever ( Minus One ) for Goj -Year- ra , I was not prepared for the franchise to get this weird this fast, but here we are, five movies in with Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster , and it's thanks in large part to screenwriter Shinichi Sekizawa ( King Kong vs Godzilla and Mothra vs Godzilla ) being bored with nuclear dinosaurs and tribal stereotypes. Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster (also known by its Japanese title, Three Giant Monsters, Earth's Greatest Battle ) once again features the work of Toho 's kaiju director/effects/suit actor dream team ( Ishirō Honda ,  Eiji Tsubaraya ,  Haruo Nakajima , Katsumi Tezuka , and Kong suit actor  Shoichi Hirose ) and brings recurring franchise actors (in similar roles to their previous appearances but with different names, making this viewer wonder if Godzilla is some kind of looping Hell punishment continuity or fourt...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Omnibuster. I'm a little disappointed in myself, Ticketholders! The purpose of the Grimm Fairy Tales Retrospective and its Zenescope - Omnibusted counterpart was to not only revisit Zenescope 's comics from a nostalgic, comparative, and scholarly perspective, but to cover them in something approaching a canonical order. Had I not chosen a thematic approach to these past two months of content (all of the Jungle Book miniseries together, all of the Robyn Hood miniseries together), I might have adhered to that a bit more closely, but that was not to be in the cards, on account of an Editor's Note I saw in the first issue of the Robyn Hood Origin Trilogy's finale, subtitled: Legend . Robyn Hood  Volume Three Legend I'll get to that soon, but first, there's the matter of introducing the Trade Paperback itself. As is often the case with spinoff Trades like this (the main Grimm Fairy Tales Volumes have always released with...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Animeister. Some people in my professional life have said some pretty soul-crushing things to me, about me, to my face this past week. That's slightly better than me being ignorant of things people say behind my back, I guess, but since punching them in the face is a terrible idea, and this is the last week of the Month Of Love , and it's best I move past my feelings in a professional manner, I'm glad I get to live vicariously through the protagonist of today's Spotlighted Anime . I chose to review it at the end of the month on its title alone, but May I Ask For One Final Thing? is a currently finished, one-season anime based on an ongoing novel/light-novel/ manga franchise written by Nana Ōtori and published by frequent Anime Spotlight subjects AlphaPolis , and watching it was a blast. The opening ("Senjō no Hana" by CHiCO & HoneyWorks ) and ending music ( "Inferior" by Shiyui ) are Anime Banger honor...

Content Calendar Announcement, Week of February 22, 2026 by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Ticketmaster. It's the final week of the  Month Of Love , Ticketholders, and I am well ahead of the game, aside from having to stop my binge of May I Ask For One Final Thing? to edit this post with only the final episode remaining because it's Friday evening as I'm doing so. I didn't want to stop because I was really enjoying myself, but sometimes (more often than we'd like, really), happiness must take a backseat to obligation. I want to keep this brief so I can get back to the fun part of my recreational "job," but I must offer apologies for the audio quality of the  Like A Storm / Dem Franchize Boyz  mashup in my St. Valentine's Day MassacReMixtape playlist , and not noticing it sooner. I had hoped to fix the...mashup issue and have a more pleasant version ready to include in this post, but the apps I have available to me, given my limited time and financial re...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Ticketmaster. It's only fitting that the Month Of Love would feature not just relationship-themed anime and comic books about archers and jilted lovers , but also a movie starring the King and Queen Of the Monsters. Mothra vs Godzilla (censored and Americanized as Godzilla vs The Thing —which just makes me want to see Godzilla fight a kaiju -sized Ben Grimm , or John Carpenter's arctic parasite monster , or the disembodied hand from The Addams Family —and not to be confused with Godzilla vs Mothra ) is Mothra's second film and Godzilla's fourth, chosen in place of a Kong sequel after the success of Mothra's debut . The team of Honda , Tsubaraya , Nakajima , and Tezuka returned yet again, bringing with them some of the same themes and setpieces that were present in King Kong vs Godzilla , such as commercial greed, characters visiting an island populated by kaiju -worshipping tribal stereotypes, the humans trying to defeat ...
