He was only with us for such a short time, that snarky green alien who posed as a human being. But the love for Zim never stopped and in fact only grew stronger. Now fans everywhere will be getting their wish: more Invader Zim is coming this July from comics publisher Oni Press.

The new series is being developed in collaboration with show creator Jhonen Vasquez and cable network Nickelodeon, with the first issue due out on July 1st. In a quote provided by Oni Press, Vasquez said the following:

"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."


Sounds like time might have passed between where the show starts off and where the comic picks up. You can see the full press release below.
