By the end the unstoppable Walter finds the mask in his hands and puts it on... only to find his face is too big for it (''Possibly irony, considering the Mask's nickname is Big Head - another possible interpretation, albeit less ironically anticlimactic, is that the Mask refused him''). In anger, Walter throws the mask into the distance with tremendous force.
This was the last series by original creators Arcudi and Mahnke. It was also the first to be made after the success of ''The Mask'' film and as such the gore and mayhem elements of the earlier stories is removed although all story elements and continuity remain with the comics and not the film.
