Format:Paperback
When the Joker find a magical mask that transforms the wearer into an invincible, outrageously funny character, he finds his dream come true. For Batman and the citizens of Gotham City, though, it's one long nightmare. Lieutenant Mitch Kellaway of Edge City is on hand, and he knows that things are worse than the Gotham City police know; the mask will eventually drive its wearer insane and for the Joker that's not a drive, but a put. Things are about to go from bad to worse...to worst. Hang on for the ride!
Comic books have a tradition of "crossovers," where characters from a completely different story make a surprise appearance. In some cases the results seem forced or out-of-keeping with the story. Fortunately, with this book, such is not the case. In this book, the creators succeed in making a humorous and interesting blend of the Mask character (as seen in the movie of the same title) and the Joker. Also, the other characters (Batman, Commissioner Gordon, et al.) stay in character, as the wacky Joker/Mask bounces off the walls, and wrecks general mayhem.
I got this book for my eight-year-old son, and must admit that we both loved it. The story is funny and yet gripping, and the graphics are well done. We both highly recommend this book to you.
Format:Paperback
A little different to previous Mask books, this is really wacky and totally cartoony. In the end though, this is a great comic book, and is more enjoyable than more recent Mask stories such as Toys in the Attic or Virtual Surreality, which were a disappointment. In order for this to work, you have to believe that Gotham City and Edge City are in the same universe, and that Kellaway can work together with Batman. Kellaway plays the same general role that he does in Toys In the Attic.
A return to form for the Mask and a great Joker story too!

This $h!+ is crazy!
3 Jan 2009
Format:Paperback
Now I love anything with the Joker and Harley Quinn, and the only thing I like better than that is when Harley teams up with Poisin Ivy, and all this happens in this book! Why? Cause Joker finds the "Mask" and goes bat$h!+ crazy! Since the Joker is already insane does the "Mask" make him more insane or just invicable? Well it's worth a read to find out.
The writing is good I have never read any mask books (gonna check them out now though!)so I don't really know how to compare it to a mask book, but for a Batman book it's good. It's not really a dark tale, I think it's more commical than most Batman books but that seems to me the way the Masks books are. The only batman cross-over I've read is with Spawn, and this is 10 times better.
Batman, Joker, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy and the Mask!
They didn't screw it up!
It's pretty cheap!
How can you go wrong!
