Invader Zim is an American comic book series created by Jhonen Vasquez and published by Oni Press. It serves as a continuation to the animated television series of the same name that originally aired on Nickelodeon.

Contents

In February 2015, Oni Press announced that a comic book series based on the show, in collaboration with Jhonen Vasquez and Nickelodeon, was being released as the continuation of the series. Vasquez said about the show: "I'm always confused when people say how much they miss Invader Zim because the show never stopped running in my head, and then I remember everyone else isn't in my head". A pre-issue #0 was released on May 23, 2015 as a zine and foreshadow to the comic book series. The first issue was released on July 8, 2015, launching a monthly run that continued until issue #50. [1] [2]

On February 11, 2020, it was announced that the monthly Invader Zim comic would end with issue #50, released in March 2020, and a new comic series titled Invader Zim Quarterly would begin April 2020, releasing on a quarterly schedule. [3] However, due to comic publishers halting the release of new issues during the COVID-19 pandemic, this was postponed until June 2020. In April 2021, it was announced that the comic series would end with a special one-shot releasing in August 2021. [4]

Additionally, in July 2020, Oni Press launched a new "Best of..." trade paperback collections, which collect a selection of stories from Oni Press's monthly Invader Zim comic series. [3]

Reception

Matt Little from Comic Book Resources said, "Invader Zim #1 is a welcome return and an accessible jumping on point for anyone who has heard of it or is interested to learn more. It's an all-ages affair that is entertaining for any reader, as it doesn't speak down to its audience." [37] Marcy Cook from The Mary Sue said, "If you liked the over-the-top nonsense of the show, you're going to enjoy the comic too. The art has that loose stylised look that's very Zim, with the distinctly limited muted colour palette." [38]

According to statistics from Diamond Comic Distributors, the first issue of the Invader Zim comic was the 17th best-selling comic book of July 2015, with approximately 60,000 units sold at North American comic shops in that month alone. [39]
