Just the Ticket

Article by Sean Wilkinson, the Unlucky Omnibuster. That isn't any kind of work-life pity reference on my part; it's just a recognition of the old numerical superstition about the number thirteen. Three of my columns ( Time Drops , Dragon Blog Super , and now, Zenescope - Omnibusted ) have hit their thirteenth issues in the past week, and promotion figures still aren't looking good for the new theme and layout, so it's only fitting that today (in addition to helping the TBT 2023  push of my old Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy  review on  Tumblr ,  Reddit , and  Facebook ), we follow one of my favorite old-school Zenescope heroines on her journey into Hell itself. But it wouldn't be a Zenescope - Omnibusted  compilation if I didn't start off with the issues that started it all: The Three Little Pigs , King Midas , and the Dante's Inferno (Prelude) . GFT #15: The Three Little Pigs This issue continues a theme first seen in  The Frog King  and again in...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. A MasakoX Fan a.k.a. An "Old Man" So, today is my birthday. And according to Wikipedia, I am exactly, to the day , seven months older than the first issue of the Dragon Ball manga . And I am a fan, so I have a literal May-December relationship with the franchise. Happy Birthday to me!...? So please, wish me Happy Birthday in the comments, like and follow through the usual clicky things around my blog, gift me a bit of ad revenue, and check in with me on  Tumblr ,  Reddit , and  Facebook  for the latest news on content like this: I'm finally finishing my Generations Saga entry for "What If GOKU Was NEVER BORN?"...! Last time in Dragon Blog  Super , the Earth was endangered once again with the arrival of Planet Makyo, unleashing Garlic, Jr., his minions, and the Evil Saiyan, Cumber. This was all off the back of Broly's training on Yardrat and his defeat at the hands of Cooler through previous parts, and culminated in Broly unl...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, Answering the Call. Ring! Ring! Ticketholders! Hopefully, you also remember to answer the call by liking, commenting, subscribing to and following my blog, and hanging out with me on  Tumblr ,  Reddit , and  Facebook  for the latest news on my content. Sorry, that call to action was about as subtle as a suggestively dressed vampire with pink hair. And so was that lead-in to today's Anime Spotlight selection, Call Of the Night . But much like the male lead of that anime, I am more than done with humanity and daytime responsibilities, I am forced to wander the night in search of energy drinks and fun, and I wouldn't mind having my blood sucked in a good way for once. So I just want to get this out "on time." Here's the anime poster: And because this is an anime review of the only anime where I have watched every episode without skipping the opening and closing credits theme songs (two very different music genres, both by Creepy Nuts ), I...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Ticketmaster Cross your fingers again this week, Ticketholders! The new layout and theme of my blog isn't being promoted by BlogPros as heavily as the previous one, so I'll probably be switching it back if things don't improve soon because I'll know it was the theme change and not the week-long hiatus I took from blogging. But there will be content this week, and that's what this post is for! So like and comment down below, subscribe to my blog (there's a button for that now, finally), help out my ad revenue, and check out my social media at the links below to keep up with the latest news on my content. Speaking of which, here's the content schedule for the coming week: Monday (May 1) -  Anime Spotlight #23: Call Of the Night Wednesday (My Birthday!) - Dragon Blog Super #13: What If GOKU Was NEVER BORN? (Generations Saga) Thursday (May 4) -  TBT 2023:  Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy   (on  Tumblr ,  Reddit , and...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, Dragon Ball fan. Not to be confused with the  Dragon Ball Super  anime and manga, or Super Dragon Ball Heroes  (a video game, web anime, and several manga series), Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero  is the first fully 3D-animated movie in the franchise. Like the better Dragon Ball  movies, it's good but has its problems. Like the Super  anime, its best moments involve slice-of-life character development and deliberate fight choreography. And like the franchise I poked fun at in the title of this post, it's a movie about family. Following a narrated flashback through Goku's history with the Red Ribbon Army, we're introduced to Dr. Hedo, a tokusatsu -obsessed child genius who was sent to prison for grave desecration and using cyborg zombies to staff his chain of convenience stores (which we don't learn until the prequel arc in the manga ). Upon being released from prison, Hedo blows up the prison with a grenade he had in his pocket (t...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, to Omni or Bust! I want to get this done before midnight, so I have no clever segue into today's content. Except maybe something about my brain turning into a pumpkin and there being a Halloween/Christmas combo at the end of the recap. Also, this post has nothing to do with dragons. Just thought I'd mention that.... I switched the mobile settings on my blog to make it easier for phone and tablet readers to read and navigate. Plus it gives the option to use web view instead of it being hard-set for everyone. I hope this makes a difference for my Ticketholders and for the BlogPros promotion program.
