5.0 out of 5 stars
Good Stuff
A fun comic to read. While there were some confusing parts (are those ravens metaphors for Loki?), it lives up to the quality expectations set up by the first series. Funny, violent, and nice to look at, this comic (like its predecessor) is a worthwhile read.

The comic came before the movie
Just so it's clear with everyone. The Jim Carrey film 'The Mask' was based on the late 80's early 90's character. Originally appearing in Mayhem 1-4, the original stories were often mean spirited with the blackest of humor and quite violent and gory.

This trade is the 4th story by the Arcudi/ Manke team and in many ways owes much to the film rather than the comics that is continues. Why? Well the mask in this version is far more cartoony and less brutal as the film portrayed him to be. I warn fans who came in because of the prior comic to expect a more toned down tale. On the other hand this and Joker/Mask would easily be the comics I'd hand the casual film 'Mask' fan who was interested in the origins of the character.

Typically hillarious with the Jim Carrey starred movie, this one has all the bloody action that adds more twisted appeal to the Mask lore. Doug Mahnke art is crispy though I prefer his work on The Mask Returns. Storyline-wise so-so.
