This would make for a fun - and close - match up. With Loki, nothing is ever as it seems and you never know what magical trick he has up his sleeve next. The Mask can match his unpredictability, though, and has the power to back that up with. It might come down to who is more ruthless, which would give the God of Mischief the evil edge.

ReplyDeleteSomebody STOP HIM!
ReplyDeleteFunny thing... I've been looking at some of the bits that Rob Paulson (who voiced the Mask on the cartoon) does in his "Talkin' Toons" podcast. These bits, posted on YouTube on the Nerdist's channel, have well-known voice actors from Jim Cummings (Darkwing Duck, Winnie the Pooh) to Kevin Conroy (Batman) reading scenes from famous movies in their character voices. Occasionally Rob fills in a part, such as Pinky to Maurice LaMarche's Brain in "Silence of the Lambs" or Dr. Scratchansniff in one that I can't recall offhand, but he has yet to do one as the Mask... probably because he's afraid of upstaging his friends! At any rate, it just seemed like a sort of sympatico that this would come up within days of my finding out that Rob is the Mask. (One of the funniest has John diMaggio using Bender's voice for HAL from "2001.")
ReplyDeleteAll that aside, I do have to agree that this cover is.... SMOKIN'!
Maybe Marvel's Loki could give or lend theMask's mask to the Red Skull; the Mask's face does look skull-like.
ReplyDeleteOr Loki could give the Mask to Captain America, so the Red Skull could get what he really deserves.
ReplyDeleteATOMIC WEDGIE!!!1!
I wish Marvel and Dark Horse had actually done such a crossover as this. It might've prevented--or, at the very least, vastly improved--the release of SON OF THE MASK.
