What the fuck happened? I almost gave this volume only 2 stars out of sheer disappointment. Part of the problem is that Jhonen Vasquez is entirely absent from writing duties on this volume, and it shows. In particular the opening chapter by KC Green is just plain fucking awful; the artwork sucks, looking like a generic alternative comic from the 80's or 90's, but that would be forgivable if the story were clever, or funny, but it is not. This particular author gets the surface of Zim, playing of...

Just as good as the last volume. Really weird ideas and issues in this one. The bank issue was cute and hilarious. I loved the pants one too that was really out there and weird and gross. The intern one is pretty goofy too and has its charms. The artwork looks so nice too!

I had no idea that they were still even going to carry on with Invader Zim after the show ended, but I am so glad that they did. I also liked the subtle little jab at Zim being gone so long.Some of the art was not to my liking, mainly because I was such a big fan of the original animation, but the stories were definitely worthy of the Irken name.Needed more Jhonen Vasquez, though.

Since this is a collection of various Zim misadventures, I'll rate/review each separately.Recap Kid pages*****Recap Kid is back before each chapter! He's awesome...and seriously in need of some ADHD meds.Chapter 1: "Zim's Bad Day"**Zim tries to apply for a bank loan, Gir gets bored and tears their costume in half, which looks like a man was torn in half. Zim then chases Gir to a restaurant and tries to save him from the Ribyich sandwich while evading earthen EMTs who think he desperately needs m...

Zim was always funny, dumb, and filled with odd plots that usually made sense. I'm glad the comics have continued that hearty and worthwhile tradition. Just awesome.

Wasn't impressed with the guest artists for the first two comics in this volume. I felt the stories were a little bland compared to the previous volume. Hoping the next volume will be back to Vasquez's artistry and storytelling.

Zim, an alien bent on destroying Earth and Dib, the human who is trying to save the Earth, battle it out with raunchy humor, mistakes and many embarrassing moments. Very odd humor and plot. Great illustrations but hard to follow. Zim is trying to secure a business loan and being torn apart legs running one way and torso another he wreaks havoc in the neighborhood. Dib is attacked by pants. Dib infiltrates Zim's lair posing as an intern. and fights a snarlbeast.

Artwork is great. Stories are ok, but I'm turned off because every issue is a one shot. I need a reason to keep reading.

The Donald Sutherland homage panel was pretty great.

Zim is drinking a "poop" juice box on the Hot Topic edition cover of this comic and that's about all you need to know.This collection was kinda hit or miss for me. A few of the issues felt like they were trying to do Zim stuff but mostly just did gross and absurd without really being particularly funny, and some gags/situations were just too long to retain their hilarity. But I have to say there were also a couple issues that were laugh-out-loud funny and didn't miss a beat. (This is subjective,...

The continuing invasion attempts of Zim as he tries new ways to conqueror the world. Dib is back to foil him (most of the time), but as usual the universe and himself are Zim's worst enemies. Yes, Zim is back, as is the gross humor and crazy plots, but what almost pushed this to a two star rating was the abysmal lack of Gaz (she's in maybe three frames in the whole volume!), there never being a time when I was dying laughing (there were a couple chuckles here and there, but I expect more from Zi...

I just love that I can "watch" my favorite cartoon again through these books. More fun with Zim, Dib, and of course, the best character ever, Gir. I loves Gir.

I can't stand KC Green's art style...But as always, this was brain cell killing fun. 👍

A lot funnier than the second book, I feel like it’s capturing the shows dark humor a little bit more in this one than the second one, it’s still a lot tamer than the original show tho *war flashback to the dark harvest episode*I also really love the artwork, the line work is a lot more fluid which leads to a very funky cartoon look, the chapter artwork is amazing looking.

As with the first volume, these issues are good translations of the show into comic book form. The first story by KC Green was the only one I disliked. The visuals were his own particular style, and that was fine, but the writing was too different from the TV show. Green redeems himself later with the short comic "Invader Who?" later, though. I will say, one problem (but that's too strong of a word, really) I have with these is that Dib is kind of pathetic in them. Even more than in the show, wh...

Gotta knock it down a star due to the opening chapter. The artwork was bad and the personality is not as Zim as it should be. Still a fun read though, and still worth the time.

Oof.Chapter 5 was good, even great. Everything else was kind of a huge letdown after the first volume.

I get why this one has gotten poor rating in comparison to the first. As others have voiced, this volume opens on a very "wrong" rendition of Zim. While I didn't have as many problems with the story as others seem to, I did have a problem with the art. So much of Zim is the way it looks, and to alter that, even a bit, makes it unsettling and--again--"wrong." It automatically doesn't feel like Zim. So, the start had me extremely taken aback.However, as the volume progressed, more of the stories f...

I really want to like Invader Zim. It has such a nerdy cult following these days, and, on the surface, it seems like a really fun, weird, dark cartoon that stretched what was permissible for kids. But... then it gets gross. And... yeah, not a fan of that. And sometimes, it's not a smart kind of stupid, just... a stupid kind of stupid. But then it does something clever and darkly witty. So, all in all... when it comes to Invader Zim... meh. I get a few laughs from Zim's antics (and from Gir), but...

The quality of this volume went way down from the previous one in terms of writing and art. You can definitely tell the writer changed in that this volume was largely unfunny.
