"Never has a comic so purposefully stupid lied on a foundation of comedic skill so honed and smart." You said it, Paste Magazine. From the far reaches of weird space to the incomprehensible world of underground art, Zim is back! And his thirst for world domination has only grown! Zim and his filthy evil ways have been gone for what feels like years. But Dib Knows the alien menace will rear his head again, and he won't leave the house, or his 900 security monitors, until it happens. And it will happen. Oh, it will. It collects the first five issues of the comic series based on the hit TV show, Invader Zim!

I picked up the Convention edition last year at Gen Con and knew that with the con right around the corner, I needed to read this so I could *hopefully* get the second book. I know the convention special of book 2 is a fuzzy Gir version, and I want it so bad!

I knew going into this that I was going to love it. I've been a rabid fangirl of Jhonen Vasquez since I was 13 and picking up JTHM from Hot Topic. After Invader Zim was released, I just knew that Vasquez was an author I'd continue to read for years to come.

Of course, I don't really keep up with what he puts out, so I don't even know if there's anything between this and JTHM, but maybe one day I'll google it.

Anyway, to the review: It's Invader Zim. If you've seen the show, that is this...or this is that...or whatever. If you haven't, you should definitely watch a few episodes of that before seeing if this is your cuppa.

It might not be. But is it still one of my favorites after all this time?

Always.
