Just the Ticket

Content Calendar Announcement, Week of December 14, 2025 by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Festive Ticketmaster. I'm back in it, Ticketholders! I mean, I'm subjecting myself to some terrible movies for the holiday season now that I've finished watching and reviewing X-Men '97 (with only some asset and link additions left before I publish), Gachiakuta still hasn't finished airing, I haven't finalized my Rascal Does Not Dream Of Santa Claus review, and January (and 2026) still looms large on my mind-table's back burner. But things feel more manageable now. I will still be putting out weekly GFT Retrospectives  for the  Fall Of   Wonderland and Wonderland   Winter  as planned, keeping you updated on my progress on a weekly basis,  and  doing  TBT '25  pushes on social media to promote my old posts one Thursday at a time (because communication and consistency still matter and I "enjoy" justifying my own continued existence). Thank you all ...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Retrospective Ticketmaster. Also, I'm feeling wonderful and festive because I finally have a young, male co-worker with a work ethic and common sense (which I thought might as well be a unicorn made of genie farts because they don't exist in whatever passes for reality in 2025, except now they're more like a black pearl infused with platinum: extremely rare, but possible in reality, and one got hired at my store, so I'm happy and hopeful that he works out on his own). Also, but with the puns, I feel wonderful and festive right now because today's issue of the Wonderland Ongoing series up for review is perfect for this time of year (the most wonderful time, some would say) and for the other content I'm reviewing this month. Much like several of the X-Men multi-parters, and certain arcs of the Rascal Does Not Dream franchise, it is a time travel story. Now let's get into the review before I have to summon a farting gen...

Content Calendar Announcement, Week of December 7, 2025 by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Festive Ticketmaster. I'm so  out of it, Ticketholders! I honestly spent all yesterday afternoon after work watching and reviewing  X-Men '97  (yes, I finished  The Animated Series  and its review and decided to give '97 its own post; I am a content-consuming madman...within limits), and I completely forgot what day it was, so now I'm popping this calendar/update out at 4a.m. the day of publication instead of watching the finale and wrapping up my second long-form X-Men review so I can move on to other things...like this, and a bunch of sacreligious killer monster-baby movies , and Gachiakuta (if that finishes in time), and finalizing my  Rascal Does Not Dream Of Santa Claus  review, and getting a head start for January.... But I will still be putting out weekly  GFT   Retrospectives  for the  Fall Of   Wonderland  and  Wond...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Wonderful, Retrospective, Apologetic Ticketmaster. We were so  close to the 10k mark last month, Ticketholders! Like, despite having less content density overall, Just the Ticket racked up three thousand more views for November than I had in October, and I came away just six hundred views short of my goal...which is still to have a ten thousand view month before the end of 2025. That's the wonderful, retrospective part. The apologetic part comes with the issue that I am reviewing today. When I began writing the Grimm Fairy Tales ( GFT ) Retrospective , it was a journey of comparison between my memory of my first readthrough, things I noticed on this re-read, and searching out the original source materials (folk and fairy tales, classic literature, etc.). There comes a certain point in any literary journey (like with my One Piece Multi-Piece  series) where the little details shift from foreshadowing that hits different to things you have ...

Content Calendar Announcement, Week of November 30, 2025 by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Festive Ticketmaster. Thirty days hath November, so now, it's time to schedule for December! At least, I think that's how the rhyme goes.... Since my last Time Drops post, I have made it to the middle of X-Men: The Animated Series Season Five in terms of both watching and reviewing, which leaves six more episodes, plus the ten in X-Men '97 (at which point I'll have a massive amount of editing to do before I publish, including my draft of the  Rascal Does Not Dream Of Santa Claus review), and I haven't even touched the It's Alive! movies yet (or the second cour of that anime I want to review after Christmas if it finishes airing in time) or settled on how I want to present my plans for 2026 when the time comes. But I will still be putting out weekly GFT Retrospectives for the Fall Of Wonderland and Wonderland Winter as planned, keeping you updated on my progress on ...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. Destiny's Ticketmaster. I can't consciously explain why, but out of nowhere, I've had "Jumpin' Jumpin'" by Destiny's Child stuck in my head for days now. Maybe it's because I've gone insane from my X-Men binge and lack of sleep finally catching up with me. Or maybe it's my brain reminding me to stop chasing waterfalls like a scrub (yes, I know those are TLC songs, so I'm gonna need you to get that monkey all the way off my back about it ) and pay my bills (and my bills, and my bills ), [insert all other Destiny's Child song references I forgot over the past twenty-plus years here], and get my crazy ass to writing this review because this is the issue where Violet and Harmony sneak out to hit up Club Excess like a pair of bootylicious independent women before Violet's survivor / soldier mother wakes up and says "no no no no no." I guess I'll just free my mind and see if t...

Content Calendar Announcement, Week of November 23, 2025 by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Ticketmaster. The final week of  No Effort November  is upon us, Ticketholders! And I'm still working my way through the massive, messy third season of X-Men: The Animated Series , in addition to continuing my single-issue GFT  Retrospectives on the Wonderland Ongoing series (because the Fall Of   Wonderland and Wonderland   Winter will  continue as planned), keeping you updated on my progress on a weekly basis, and doing TBT '25  pushes on social media to promote my old posts one Thursday at a time (because communication and consistency continue to matter and I "enjoy" justifying my own continued existence). I'll get to why my progress on Season Three has been so sluggish (aside from its size, the obvious energy-sapping nature of my paying job, and the sleep I'm not getting while I try to watch and review an entire cartoon series in a month) in ...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Retrospective Ticketmaster. As I'm writing this, it's Sunday afternoon following an incredibly stressful workday of being responsible for something important that I've never done by myself before, and when it was all behind me, I was greeted by the pleasant surprise of a 500-plus-view day before noon. Thank you so much to everyone on BlueSky , Tumblr , Facebook , Pinterest , Instagram , YouTube , and LinkedIn (and yes, even those of you who come by my content at random) for helping me start my roving weekend a little brighter than sunlight can currently provide in my part of the world. And thank you to Zenescope for starting off this week's issue by giving me so much to talk about. Wonderland #7 First of all, there's the cover art, starting with the Sean Chen and Sanju Nivangune cover (and not just because the line artist has the same first name as me). It's a whimsical take on The Birth Of Venus with Spades and Hearts ...
