Just the Ticket

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...

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...

Content Calendar Announcement, Week of December 21, 2025 by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Festive Ticketmaster. Christmas Week  is here, Ticketholders! And I'm ahead of the game, but not as ahead as I would like to be. As far as content being ready, my  X-Men '97  and  Rascal Does Not Dream Of Santa Claus  reviews are finalized and scheduled to publish as you'll see below, and I've watched all four  It's Alive  movies and drafted reviews for the original trilogy (but I dragged my feet on writing the remake review by distracting myself with the bonus content for last week's Zenescope - Omnibusted compilation ). I also have a decent start on my Madness Of Wonderland  review and an idea for another bit of bonus content for it. As for next week,  Gachiakuta  still hasn't finished airing, I haven't written a word about it, and I have enough on my plate that I'm seriously considering putting its review off for another week or two so I can f...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Festive  Omnibuster . Much like with  Volume One , Volume Two of the  Wonderland  Ongoing series has no obvious discrepancies between the ComiXology version and the...version I downloaded  One Piece  at a time, so to speak. The reason for this is likely because the "patched" version is a peg-legged instance of the digital/ComiXology edition, rather than a meticulous scan of the physical trade. And seeing as how I  don't  have a physical copy  or  the time or money to acquire one, I cannot speak to any difference in effort between the physical and digital editions. One thing of note, however, is that, around the time of the original release of  Wonderland  #8 (the third part of this five-issue Volume),  Zenescope  began using Digital Edition covers for their...digital editions of individual comics (which were just randomly selected Common retail covers with a Digital Edition mark ...
