Dark Horse Comics/dc Comics: The Mask

More about the book

What happens when Gotham City's Clown Prince of Crime discovers a thousand-year-old relic that grants him invincibility? Batman is about to find out as two of history's most unpredictable characters join forces—literally! The Joker/Mask becomes a prime-time television sensation, and his antics to maintain high ratings are outrageous. Meanwhile, Cole Cash, also known as Grifter, is an arms enthusiast, while Paul Newman (not that Paul Newman) is an anti-gun activist. Both are in Vegas for a firearms convention, each with his own agenda—Newman aims to eradicate firearms, while Cash plans to steal a cutting-edge weapon called the Probability Annihilator. Cash boasts an incredible marksmanship skill, but Newman has something even more powerful: the Mask! Lobo's Alan Grant teams up with The Mask's John Arcudi and Doug Mahnke to elevate this wild duo's antics. Bounty-hunter Lobo is on the trail of the Ultimate Bastich, a sinister version of the Mask. When he arrives on Earth, the Mask has been taken by a small-time thug named Ira, leading to a chaotic showdown that devastates New York City. This sets the stage for Lobo and the Mask's intergalactic adventure, where the Mask's antics constantly thwart Lobo's efforts.
