:bademoticon: Seisure Dib wtf plz 

========================

Read about the adventures of Zim, an inadequate alien invader set on conquering Earth. Along to help with the mission are goofy henchmen Gir and Mini Moose--critters who are reliable for a laugh. As a story plot, Zim's oddball plans are foiled by an equally as inadequate human child entitled Dib, who is instilled with an obsession to prove Zim's extraterrestrial presence--as well as to gain the respectful pride of his father Professor Membrane. Dib's sister, Gaz, provides a means of reality grounding for the audience and keeps conflicts abound as she pursues whatever course of action best suits her and story progression.
========================

This comic is a well crafted story and universe plastered in humor~! BUY IT-!!!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! THE ZIM-ZAM MAN IS BACK! PRAISE BE THE ONI PRESS AND WRETCHED NICK GODS!
As of yesterday, I was able to grace my optical orbs with the blessing of the first official issue of the brand new INVADER ZIM comic! It is an intriguing cult classic cartoon like no other--sadly cast aside in cancellation due to belong to an era far behind its time, proper.

--Disclosed below is a collection of my organized thoughts towards the media products at hand--spoiler free!
========================

Issue #1: It good? It GOOD!


"Sour Justice" is what meanders within the mind as old characters are embraced--those once animated, now flicked onto paper.
All the core cast members: Zim, Gir, Mini Moose, Dib, Gaz, and Professor Membrane return smoothly and flawlessly--all traits that made them whole have remained intact and a rush of nostalgia is sure to be delivered to past reading fans--with new ones being gently guided along into the new hysterical world.
-+-
Zim is just as screamy and obtuse in dialect as ever.
Gir is just as insane, inane, and innocent as remembered.
Mini Moose is there.
Dib, well, he is still an annoying yet heroic adolescent.
Gaz is steadfast in her happy hobby of video games,
And lastly, the Professor delivers a reserved "hands-off" approach yet present method of parenting.
-+-
A connection between events from the cartoon show and the future events to take place within the comic is firmly established, character introductions never feel forced and all contribute to the story conflict purposefully. Each panel held a proper use and nothing of a page felt wasted.
The team behind the comic shows off their professional skills brilliantly and no flaws present themselves.
A person a fan of the show and/or rancid childish dark humor will find this issue a must have to support!
However, it is recommended to visit the show before reading--or else one is inclined to be lost.

Truthshrieker #0: Comic Pre-Release Extra!

[--New Canon Alert---->The Swollen Eyeball Network gains rivals--the Truthshriekers!]

This is a mere collection of hypothetical situations and settings from the Invader Zim cartoon.
It is presented as a collage of magazine-like articles and advertisements that range from snort-fully humorous to bubblingly idiotic.
When one reads this, it must be done with an open-mind, along with previous knowledge of the show in order to become fully immersed.Throughout the pages, formats range from bland to mildly intriguing--yet few things pop out and create anything wholly memorable.
Without knowing the show--characters and references will not be recognized nor appreciated--first impressions will be diminished.
This complimentary comic issue is purely for the fans and if read by most, it will come off as a simple child friendly version of "The Onion," a parody news source outlet.
Overall, this addition of content can be summed up as only a bunch of supernatural concepts of the Invader Zim universe that offers little more. Jokes at times feel forced or repetitive---yet, when jokes are funny, it's lung-shatteringly so.
Very little is added to the show's canon and regretfully can be noted as a disappointment, for everything feels shallow and full of filler. Fortunately, the last ending pages are the best and leave a satisfying conclusion for the content enclosed.
The characters presented have little development--only having events revisited/reconfirmed as direct references from the show.
It is a must have for all Invader Zim fans, but little is provided to sate appetites for major innovations.

Regardless, the Truthshrieker #0--exclusive to the Oni Press store, strives to be fan-content for fans and serves as a pleasant reminder of the social culture of the Invader Zim universe. It gains a recommendation, but is in no way necessary to read alongside the Invader Zim comic. Keep in mind it is a novelty--it simply did not hold my attention.
