Invader Zim issue #1 confirmed for July release

It’s official! Oni Press has just announced that it will be working with Jhonen Vasquez and Nickelodeon on a new comic book series set to debut this July 1st.

The publisher first teased the announcement last week on their official Twitter account. It has been almost 13 years since the show originally aired on Nickelodeon.

“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. I try to imagine the world for all those people who don’t know what Zim’s been up to since the show went off the air and it makes me shudder. How can people live that way? Hopefully this comic helps make the world a better place.”

Invader Zim show veterans Aaron Alexovich, Eric Trueheart and Rikki Simons will return to work on the comic. Alexovich was a character designer on show, Trueheart was a writer and Rikki Simons who was also the voice of Gir.

Invader Zim returns in comic form on July 1st. You can check out the full press release below.
