    Source Material #362 - The Mask Strikes Back (Dark Horse, 1995)

    15 APR 2024 · A Madcap Finale to The Mask Trilogy Join Jesse and Mark as they dive into the wacky and wild conclusion to the comic book trilogy of The Mask. In "The Mask Strikes Back," the famous green mask of chaos and comedy falls into new hands, leading to a series of outrageous misadventures. After the massive success of the 1994 film starring Jim Carrey, the tone of the comics shifted to match the over-the-top zaniness that audiences craved. Get ready for reality-bending sight gags, twisted character arcs, and an abundance of slapstick violence as a group of teens wrestle with the reality-warping powers of the mask. What started as a shockingly dark and grim deconstruction of the superhero genre ultimately transformed into an animated romp through madcap mayhem. Jesse and Mark dissect the tonal shift, analyzing how the Hollywood juggernaut of the movie impacted the comic's direction for better or worse. Was sticking closer to the film's irreverent spirit a blessing or a curse? Did sacrificing some of the edge blunt the book's satirical bite? Tune in for a lively discussion evaluating the strengths, pitfalls, and head-scratching moments of this wacky trilogy capper.
