After over ten years, the misadventures of the dumber-than-the-average-extraterrestrial will continue this July, albeit in comic form.
The Nickelodeon show Invader Zim became a cult favorite after its cancellation in 2003 for its irreverent and often dark humor, something that Nickelodeon has yet to reproduce. Support for the story of the incredibly incompetent alien trying to take over the Earth only grew as the years went on, culminating in InvaderCon in 2011. The convention was meant to be a one-time event, but thanks to the overwhelming fan response went on for three annual conventions.
Now fans new and old can get their Zim fix with the new comic from Oni Press, the first issue set for release on July 1, though it’s not certain how long the series will run.
