In the summer of 1994, no one could go for more than 15 minutes without hearing the words, “Oh! Somebody stop me!”
More than “Aaaaalll righty then!” or “I like it a lot!” that line from The Mask captured 1994: the year where Jim Carrey dominated the box office with three blockbuster comedies. In addition to The Mask in July, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective released in February, and Dumb and Dumber came out in December. But whereas Ace Ventura and Dumb and Dumber were a bit too raunchy for moms and uncles, the cartoon logic and zany big band music of The Mask made it a safe way for everyone to get Jim Carrey fever.
That’s a real surprise to anyone who knows The Mask comics by Mike Richardson, Mark Badger, Doug Mahnke, and John Arcudi. Those comics portray the story’s main character Big-Head as a violent sociopath, making Jim...

Doctor Victor Von Doom is the greatest supervillain Marvel has. Not just because of his rocking green cloak and metal armor look, either, but because of his persona. Doom is a man so grandly arrogant he thinks the world can only be saved if he rules it, yet so petty he lets a misplaced grudge against Reed Richards rule him.
Doom's vanity is so supreme he hides his scarred face behind a mask; not because he fears the judgment of others, but because he can't bear to see an imperfection when he gazes in the mirror. And yet, when he makes his grandiloquent declarations (always in the third person), it's not empty pomposity. Statements like "Doctor Doom does not fail!" delivered free of irony could be laughable, but instead Doom's willful personality convinces you.
Doom has been the villain of countless Marvel books; he famously doesn't limit himself to sparring with only his chief nemeses,...

Networked: Carabella on the Run
By Gerard Jones & Mark Badger
134 pages, Nbm Publishing, $12.99
The issue of privacy in the digital age is an ongoing dialogue as some people feel too much personal information is available to anyone skilled at cyber research while others prefer sharing every aspect of their lives. For several generations, the specter of George Orwell’s Big Brother has loomed large over the evolving technology field, occasionally raising the concern that the government will use this data in ways to which we would object – if we knew.
Privacy Activism is a non-profit company designed to make people aware and give them knowledge and tools to determine how much they want to share or to protect. To educate the younger masses, they created Carabella, a hip, blue-skinned college-aged woman and have used her in several outreach programs. For her third appearance, she has been turned over to master graphic novelists,...

Created on a budget of less than $15,000 and shunted along in the festival circuit for roughly two years, "Paranormal Activity" is one of the most noteworthy films released this year. The found-footage horror flick emerged this fall as a top box-office earner, setting records as the most profitable film of all time. Considering the out-of-nowhere success, it's no surprise that tie-ins are only just starting to trickle out.
One of those tie-ins is "Paranormal Activity: The Search for Katie," a digital comic for iPhone and iPod Touch published by Idw. The story picks up after the events of the film, so needless to say, there are Spoilers Ahead.
The first issue of the new series was released as a self-contained App, downloadable for $0.99, and promised some answers for fans regarding what became of Katie after the terrifying final minutes of the movie.
