By the mid-2010s, Nickelodeon's infamous Black Comedy TV series about an egomaniacal alien's fight for control of a crapsack Earth against a child paranormal scientist had been out of production for over a decade. But despite its short 27-episode run, Invader Zim still boasted a huge cult following that had Nick execs floating around ideas on how to capitalize on it beyond a continued stream of Hot Topic merchandise. While they struggled for a few years, debating with creator Jhonen Vasquez on the terms for another animated Zim project, they did manage to get him onboard with a Sequel in Another Medium.In February 2015, an Invader Zim comic book revival made in collaboration between Oni Press and Nickelodeon was announced. An Issue #0 in the form of a "TruthShrieker" fanzine was released on May 23, 2015, followed by the first issue of the ongoing monthly series being released on July 8, 2015. The comic is overseen by Vasquez himself, with him also writing on occasion. Other series veterans would also return to lend their talents to the series, with writer Eric Trueheart penning several issues, while artist Aaron Alexovich and colorist Rikki Simons would aid during its early run.On March 18th, 2020, the monthly series ended with its 50th issue, written by Vasquez and Trueheart. The monthly series would be replaced by a quarterly series (fittingly called Invader Zim Quarterly), beginning June 17, 2020. The quarterly series would last only four issues (each officially labelled as a one-shot) before being cancelled, with an announcement in April 2021 stating that the series as a whole was being discontinued following a final issue which was released in August of that year.As for Nickelodeon wanting another animated Invader Zim project, Vasquez did eventually agree to do a television movie. The film, Enter the Florpus, was released on Netflix on August 16, 2019. The movie would go on to adapt the comic's first issue... well, at least the beginning of it, before quickly veering off into its own thing by means of For Want Of A Nail.

comment
Arbitrary Skepticism: In Issue 15, Dib refuses to believe that Ms Bitters is anything other than a creepy old woman, despite it being quite clear that she's not human. In Issue 29, he also has a hard time accepting the idea of secret societies using magic powered by Poop Cola, despite repeatedly seeing it used, and it not being remotely the weirdest thing in this series. This then gets turned around on him in the following issue, when the Poop wizards refuse to believe his claim that aliens exist, and Zim laughs at Dib's explanation about everything involving the Poop magic. Again, this is despite all the involved parties being involved in far weirder things. Likewise, when Dib informs the wizards about Zim in Issue 30 they call him crazy for believing in aliens. The fact that (per the series) Membrane Still Believes in Santa despite his Agent Scully role elsewhere is justified in the Christmas quarterly. He simply couldn't live with the idea that his own parents were the ones who bought him socks.

comment
Issue 21 uses a somewhat more horror-influenced style than usual, befitting its Darker and Edgier tone and Downer Ending. As a result of this and the body-swapping gimmick of the issue, it ends up being more or less a brick of pure concentrated Nightmare Fuel.

comment
Unreliable Narrator: Throughout Issue 17, Zim and Dib keep telling stories that present themselves as awesome, and paint the other in a negative light. In Dib's case, this involves making him a badass who everyone loves, and for Zim, it's making him an All-Loving Hero. In Issue 39, Zim's delusional, self-serving memories portray him as having peacefully met the alien probe only for Dib (who is shown as a drooling moron) to destroy it by accident. This is in contrast to Dib's memories, which are more in line with the pair's standard characterizations (Dib tries to greet the robot as a self-appointed ambassador of humanity, only for Zim to destroy it when it annoys him).

Gone Horribly Right: In Issue 38, a sequence of events leads to GIR impersonating Dib so well that everyone becomes convinced that he's the real Dib and chase the real Dib out of town. Zim decides to take advantage of this, and tells GIR to keep up the impersonation. However, at prompting from Gaz, this leads to GIR trying to expose Zim as an alien, and doing a better job of it than the real Dib, leading to the ruining of Zim's latest plan.

In Issue 4, the Tallest used a Paranoia Gambit on Zim For the Evulz which eventually caused Zim to send the trash they made him think was an unstoppable weapon back to them. However the device they used to send him the trash was a Flawed Prototype and sending it back could end up destroying half the universe. Specifically the half they were in.

Framing Device: Several issues have characters ending up in situations where they tell/view various stories: Issue 15 has the students in Dib and Zim's class trading theories on Miss Bitters' origins. Issue 17 has Zim and Dib telling highly unlikely stories about themselves to an alien jailer in order to get it to release them. Issue 40 has Recap Kid getting sucked out of the universe and viewing various alternate realities while trying to find their way back to the main comic universe.

Food-Based Superpowers: In issue #18, Zim takes over the restaurant Burrito King by kicking out its owner, Burrito Royale. Burrito Royale travels the land to gather followers (despite him only being gone since the morning of the day he returns, he claims that it was a long journey) and learn the power to control beans before returning to reclaim his restaurant. Burrito Royale demonstrates his new power by levitating a bunch of beans (although he doesn't like when one of his followers dubs him a "beanbender") before kicking Zim out by using the beans to push him through the door.

Insufferable Genius: A lot of Dib’s life would be a lot easier if he would just stop trying to prove how much smarter he is than everyone. For example in Issue 30 in order to get Dark Poop from Zim so he could save the world he had to face his greatest fear which Zim thinks is a sandwich. Dib immediately tells him he’s not afraid of that. As well as all the other things Zim conjured.

Create Your Own Villain: Issue 5 reveals that Gaz could care less what Dib does; it’s only his insistence in involving her to the point of completely disregarding her wants and desires that makes her so antagonistic toward him. It reaches the point where she puts him in an And I Must Scream situation to get him to stop.

Never Recycle Your Schemes: Usually played straight. There is one subversion, however, as Issue 22 sees Zim once again trying to disperse Flamin' Hot Cheezo dust into the Earth's atmosphere in order to make the planet uninhabitable for humans, something he tried once before in Issue 12, though in this case he changes the planned method of dispersal.

Issue 21 has this as the way Gaz-as-Zim takes over the world — first, she gets everyone's attention by destroying all the world militaries' weapons, calling it an act of world peace. Then, she solves world hunger with a new artificial food, which happens to contain an alien chemical that makes people stupid and easy to control. This leads to the world's leaders all asking her to take over as ruler of Earth.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Invader Zim (Oni) (Comic Book) / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: When Zim discovers that Dib is allergic to cats, Dib is able to solve the problem by getting himself some allergy meds, rendering himself immune to Zim's attacks. In the first issue, years of obsessing over Zim with little to no regard to his personal health and hygiene has left Dib cripplingly obese and invalid, allowing Zim to conduct a reign of terror unopposed. Comically subverted when Zim's "reign of terror" ends up being a string of ultimately harmless pranks and Dib is able to recover his original health after a single day of working out. Sitting in sensory deprivation for an extended period of time is not good for your mental health, as Zim learns in the fourth quarterly. After three weeks, he goes into a manic delusional state and puts in motion an overly complex plan to destroy every balloon in the world, then after another three weeks completely forgets that he did this. It's even specifically stated that he's getting some brain damage from this.

comment
Ungrateful Bastard: Dib in Issue 8 — after Groyna saved him from being zombified, he tried to leave her because her experience of being the last survivor in a zombie apocolypse was making her emotional and he's uncomfortable around crying girls. When she convinced him that they could work together, he kept telling her how stupid she was for thinking one or two people could stop an alien invasion by themselves. Finally, when they came across her zombified friend and she tried to save her, Dib pretty much just left her to die. Zim in Issue 35 after shapeshifting alien Zorphic, whom he had imprisoned for no real reason, helps him escape from Moo-Ping 10 after he's himself imprisoned there for a debt. When Zim is able to pay off the debt, he's freed and his prisoners, including Zorphic, are recaptured. He doesn't bother to tell the staff to free Zorphic, thinking that it seems like too much trouble.

Ambiguous Gender: The comic series features Recap Kid, who gives a (suitably manic and inaccurate) Previously on… at the beginning of most issues. Jhonen Vasquez wrote the character's dialogue for the first issue, but commented "He (or she? I never specified and Aaron Alexovich‘s art keeps it mysterious)..." For what it's worth, Recap Kid has eyelashes, but when asked if this makes them a girl, story artist Megan Lawton responded "Recap Kid is a kid."

Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: Zim retains his memories of the time loop in the final issue thanks to a special hat, while Dib retains his because of one of the objects that Gaz stuffed into his head.

Enemy Mine: Issue 12, with Zim and Dib teaming up against Zim's future self, Emperor Zim. Somewhat Averted, however, as Zim was only able to convince Dib to help him defeat his future self by putting a slave collar on him to get him to cooperate. During the Battle Void arc, Dib allies with the Zim Resistance in order to defeat Number 1 aka Zib, in order to stop him from conquering and/or accidentally destroying the multiverse. A brief example in Issue 50. After spending the whole issue being annoyed by Chammy's attempts to make them be friends, they work together to banish her through a portal to another planet in order to get rid of her.

Friendly Enemy: Occasionally subverted with a heavy dose of Take That, Audience! to fans who read Zim and Dib's relationship in this way. In Issue 13, a couple of aliens believe that Dib is Zim's best friend due to the excessive amounts of time they spend together and kidnap him to use as a bargaining chip; taking Zim's insistence that they're actually bitter enemies for a bluff, they proceed to torture Dib in various ways, to Zim's totally unconflicted enjoyment. Issue 50 has Love Freak Chammy Wamboo insisting on the friendship potential in Zim and Dib's relationship, with the two pointing out all the flaws in her reasoning.

Played for laughs in Issue 13, as some aliens abduct Zim's "best friend" to set up a Hostage for MacGuffin exchange. Unfortunately, they took Dib, having mistaken him for Zim's friend; understandably, Zim isn't inclined to help.

Other Me Annoys Me: When Zim meets his future self Emperor Zim in Issue 12, he finds the Emperor to be an ungrateful jerk, while Emperor Zim finds his younger self an incompetent idiot. A major part of the Battle Void arc as all the various alternate Zims can't stand each other. Plus, "Zim Number 1" turns out to actually be an alternate Dib who finds our Dib pathetic, while he finds Number 1 to be psychotic. The fourth quarterly has Zim pulling a Memory Gambit and leaving a series of video messages to himself with instructions. He becomes increasingly frustrated with the apparent nonsensicality of his own orders and at one point even struggles to disobey his own instructions while trying to determine whether he would have taken his own contrariness into account. Turns out he knew himself well enough to ensure that the outcome would be the same no matter which option he chose.

Serious Business: Gaz's gaming has reached the point that when Dib interrupted her while she was playing a game (as in turning the game off) just so that she could look at Zim yelling at a cat, Gaz asks Membrane to build an invention so she could search for a dimension where gamers rule the earth and put non gamers in mind simulations similar to The Matrix, where they are forced into the role of player characters, controlled by random gamers and die violently over and over, and subjects Dib to it. Also do not be a freemium gamer in this world. Zim losing one of his boots at the end of Issue 6. Issue 19 reveals the existence of the Zoo Crimes Division, which protects the Town Zoo like a fortress, and treats Zim's home-made zoo like a felony. Issues 29 and 30 revolve around secret groups of magic users fighting over control of Poop Cola, which is the source of their power. Poopwatch respects proof of purchase.

"Rashomon"-Style: Issue 39 does this, as an alien observing Earth abducts Zim, GIR, Dib and Gaz to his ship, due to them being the only beings present when his exploratory probe and its robot operator were destroyed, so that he can interrogate them on what happened, via putting them in a machine that plays their memories. Dib's memories show that Zim attacked his house in a Mini-Mecha made from random pieces of machinery, and when the robot showed up to meet Dib (do to detecting Tak's ship in his garage and determining it to be the most advanced technology on the planet), Zim took offense and destroyed the robot. In Zim's memories, he peacefully greeted the robot while in a much more advanced mech, only for Dib (whom he portrays as a drooling moron) to blow up the robot by accident. Gaz's memories show that she wasn't even paying attention to the fight at all. And GIR's memories... cause the memory machine to melt down and the alien's ship to explode.

What Happened to the Mouse?: A minor example from the Battle Void arc. The Elder, the leader of the Zim Resistance, is last seen in the cliffhanger ending of Issue 47, only to disappear by the time Issue 48 starts, and is never seen again.

Memory Gambit
 Invader Zim (Oni) (Comic Book) / int_87646020
comment
The fourth quarterly has Zim pulling a Memory Gambit and leaving a series of video messages to himself with instructions. He becomes increasingly frustrated with the apparent nonsensicality of his own orders and at one point even struggles to disobey his own instructions while trying to determine whether he would have taken his own contrariness into account. Turns out he knew himself well enough to ensure that the outcome would be the same no matter which option he chose.

 Invader Zim (Oni) (Comic Book) / int_8797239c
comment
Bait-and-Switch: The Xliactian Historian will tell nobody the jump codes that lead to the Gargantis Array... unless they buy a bunch of stuff. In Issue 5, when Dib was about to be locked up for being an NPC: After Dib asked Voxelrot who he was, he replied that he'll never tell him. He'll keep him hooked up to the Console and Dib'll always wonder who he is... before just deciding to reveal he's Gaz. Zim goes to a tiny galaxy when he wants to be alone and think about what it all means. Before punching a small planet in the face. Inquisitous the Observer assured Dib that the Inquisitorians always ensure their technology is thoroughly tested. Which he’ll be doing right now on Dib. In the fourth quarterly, Zim is trying to infiltrate the corporate headquarters of Zip, a mascot that looks just like him. The secretary tells him that the only people being allowed in are Zip mascots. For a minute, it looks like Zim is going to ditch his disguise and go in as himself... instead, he put GIR and Minimoose in a terrible costume.

Villain with Good Publicity
 Invader Zim (Oni) (Comic Book) / int_87bb6874
comment
Villain with Good Publicity: Issue 21 has this as the way Gaz-as-Zim takes over the world — first, she gets everyone's attention by destroying all the world militaries' weapons, calling it an act of world peace. Then, she solves world hunger with a new artificial food, which happens to contain an alien chemical that makes people stupid and easy to control. This leads to the world's leaders all asking her to take over as ruler of Earth. In Issue 42 and 43, Zim is far more popular with the Plim than Dib is.

Time Dilation

comment
Time Dilation: Issue 28 is built around an experimental Irken device called the Time Accelerator (or the "Time Thingy" as it's nicknamed). It generates a field which causes time to move faster the closer you get to it. And when it ends up exploding near the end of the issue, it causes Zim to age into an elderly state.

Took a Level in Jerkass
 Invader Zim (Oni) (Comic Book) / int_8cb1a369
comment
Took a Level in Jerkass: Membrane, after he Took a Level in Kindness, sold out Dib in issue 5 so that the gamer robots wouldn't take his dinner robot. Then again this was the Gamer Universe Membrane so it wasn’t character character derailment for the main universe Membrane. Dib also has come to fit this trope; while he was never exactly a saint in the show, he was a bit nicer than he has been in the comics. Nowadays he's more prone to things like abandoning people when they're no longer of use to him (Groyna in Issue 8 for example) and refusing to apologize when something is clearly his fault (such as Issue 29 where he spills Gaz's soda).

Timey-Wimey Ball: In Issue 12, Zim’s actions in the future changed the past. Dib quickly points out that that isn't how it works only to be told to shut up. In Issue 49, Zim messing about with time travel causes all the alternate timelines to merge together. Again, an exasperated Dib tries to explain that's not how it works, only for Zim to ignore him.

Private Profit Prison
 Invader Zim (Oni) (Comic Book) / int_8d80bc0d
comment
Private Profit Prison: Issues 34 and 35 feature Moo-Ping 10, a space station-based prison where you can pay to have your enemies imprisoned. Zim in particular is shown to use it just to get rid of people who he doesn't like (or in one guy's case, just looking like someone he doesn't like). Unfortunately for him, however, the aliens running the prison are also very strict about payments — when he falls behind on his (due to putting GIR in charge of them) they lock him up as well, forcing him to spend two issues trying to figure out how to escape.

Laser-Guided Karma
 Invader Zim (Oni) (Comic Book) / int_90e31482
comment
Laser-Guided Karma: Like with the original series, Zim infrequently pays for his more cruel actions. Issue 2 ends with Zim successfully sending Dib's humiliating video to everyone in the galaxy. In turn, Dib leaves Zim behind, stranding him within the Gargantis Array. After an issue of tormenting Dib’s Plot Allergy, Zim ends up getting a hive from a cat. In issue 28, Zim effectively tricks the Irken research team to do his bidding and menial, selfish tasks for several decades that due to Year Inside, Hour Outside rules, only last a few hours of Zim while all the other Irkens age into senile beings. By the end of the issue, a mishap caused by the chronal dampener turns Zim into a senile old man who doesn't even recognize Dib. Zim pays to have people locked up in Moo-Ping 10, usually just for annoying him. Then he falls behind on his payments, so he finds himself locked up alongside his victims (who specifically refuse to be released, as they want payback).

Art Shift
 Invader Zim (Oni) (Comic Book) / int_912b24c4
comment
Art Shift: Several issues have guest artists, whose styles are different from the standard IZ design: Issues 6, 11, 26, 31, 36 and 41 are drawn in a style more reminiscent of newspaper comics than what the series usually uses. Issue 16 has darker color tones and an overall more Animesque style. Issue 21 uses a somewhat more horror-influenced style than usual, befitting its Darker and Edgier tone and Downer Ending. As a result of this and the body-swapping gimmick of the issue, it ends up being more or less a brick of pure concentrated Nightmare Fuel.

The Unapologetic: Dib, when he destroys or disregards something someone else likes or finds important because it’s not as important as him stopping Zim (or whatever other paranormal activity he’s focused on at the time). In fact, he will only ever apologize if the person retaliates in a way he can’t counter. Gaz called him out on this in Issue 5 after she put him in a And I Must Scream situation when he destroyed her chance to be the first person in history to beat a certain video game. Stating that he was just doing everything he could to get out of the situation and didn’t really mean it. It literally took ten million games and logic defying deaths for Dib to legitimately mean his apology.

Moral Myopia
 Invader Zim (Oni) (Comic Book) / int_b42b7e7b
comment
Moral Myopia: Despite Dib’s frustration at the world not believing the paranormal, Dib sees nothing wrong with disregarding or even destroying things that other people care about because they aren’t as important as his paranormal studies. This is ultimately revealed in Issue 5 to be the reason for the antagonistic relationship between him and Gaz after he prevented her from being the first person in history to beat a game to show her Zim yelling at a cat. That same issue also showed Gaz to be this as well. She claims that Dib was selfish for trying to get her involved with his interests, but at the same time not only is she never willing to spare him any time, but her obsession with video games is at such a violent level that even Dib's obsession with the paranormal can't compare. And another thing, even when Dib chooses (after the fact) to try and do things that she enjoys, she STILL finds some reason to hurt him (beating Dib up because he happened to win a game fairly).

Take That!
 Invader Zim (Oni) (Comic Book) / int_b53077b3
comment
Take That!: Issue 9 gets a lot of mileage out of its YouTube parody, with its obviously faked videos and the string of trollish and downright moronic viewer comments. Issue 15 takes a swipe at the infamous "guns turned into walkie talkies" cut of E.T. by having all of the soldiers' guns be digitally replaced with hot dogs. Then, just to piss off the censors, a blurb mentions that the decision was made by the president and CEO of Now That's What I Call Doggin' Inc. Issue 18 has a character gain control over beans, while repeatedly denying the title of beanbender. The last page is a poster of the movie adaptation of his story, which depicts an entirely caucasian cast when the character himself is Ambiguously Brown, mocking the infamous live action adaptation of The Last Airbender. Zim's plan in Issue 37 is essentially the plot of The Matrix. Which makes Dib's lampshading of all the logic plot holes in it a pretty clear jab at the movies. Issue 50 is a deliberate Take That, Audience! at people who'd rather Zim and Dib drop the rivalry and be friendly towards one another, by having these opinions be voiced (and enacted) by the crazy and forceful antagonist of the issue.

The Multiverse: Appears near the end of Issue 32, when Zim and Dib's pushup competition transcends them out of the universe. The various universes are manifested as giant sentient ab muscles, which offer to send the pair to the universe of their choice. They choose instead to keep competing. This is also the main plot of Issue 40, as a "cosmic mistake" sucks Recap Kid into the space between universes, and views various alternate realities while trying to find their way back to their own. A major part of the Battle Void arc, as Zim, GIR and Dib end up in Pocket Dimension linked by portal to numerous other alternate timelines and inhabited by the Zims of all those other universes.

It's All About Me
 Invader Zim (Oni) (Comic Book) / int_bb18a227
comment
It's All About Me: The comics repeatedly show that Dib cares a lot more about being right than proving that the paranormal exists. In many cases he has come across aliens or the supernatural and cared more about not wanting to deal with the people involved in those events than the events themselves. Issue 29 shows that Gaz has to schedule time for her to watch TV because Dib hogs it so much and even then he sees nothing wrong with taking the remote from her. Also in Issue 29, Dib was specifically told that he might have magical abilities but refused because he thought soda based magic was stupid. In Issue 30 because Dib took so long to get the Dark Poop the Poop Wizards had to sacrifice themselves to save the world. His only thought was that he gets to keep the soda.

Hoist by His Own Petard: In Issue 4, the Tallest used a Paranoia Gambit on Zim For the Evulz which eventually caused Zim to send the trash they made him think was an unstoppable weapon back to them. However the device they used to send him the trash was a Flawed Prototype and sending it back could end up destroying half the universe. Specifically the half they were in. In Issue 25, Virooz creates a makeshift PAK to transfer his mind into Zim's body. But when Zim's own PAK takes it back, Virooz's PAK is left attached to a couch, trapping him. Issue 34 reveals that Zim pays to have a private space prison lock up people for him. But when his bill comes up overdue (as a result of him putting GIR in charge of paying it), he gets locked up in the same prison, leaving him at the mercy of the people he imprisoned.

Plot Allergy: In Issue 11, Zim discovers Dib is allergic to most furry animals and proceeds to build a machine that launches such animals at Dib. He spends most of the issue just torturing his nemesis, proving he is superior... and then the last panel reveals he's allergic to cats, too.

Egopolis: Issue 12 shows that after Zim takes over the world, he puts up statues and pictures of himself everywhere, renames every street after himself, and lives in a palace designed to look like his own head.

A Glitch in the Matrix: In Issue 37, Dib sees blackberries growing on a tree, and a squirrel with a carapace. This helps him realize that he's trapped in a poorly researched virtual illusion.

Laser-Guided Amnesia: The backup strip in Issue 7 has Zim trying to delete Dib's memories of him. The fourth quarterly has Zim doing this to himself, in a delusional belief that not knowing his own plan will make it unstoppable.

In Issue 31, after being confronted by the mutant super bear, Dib turns to the audience and laments that he only has one panel to appreciate it.

comment
Exact Words: Tak's A.I hatred of Dib causes it to follow his orders this way. For example, from Issue 2: In Issue 4, when Zim activated his defense gnomes' motion tracking and told them destroy anything that moves. They detected their own movements and destroyed each other.

comment
Snap Back: Issues can end with things like the Earth getting kicked into the sun by a Star Donkey (which ends up being snapped back by the end of the very issue it happens) and Gaz taking over the Earth after body-swapping with Zim, but ultimately it'll all be ignored by the very next issue.

Fission Mailed: In Issue 27, Xooxi's last boring conversation drags on for so long that the comic finally gives out to a black page bearing a message from the issue's artist, stating that she can't stand how boring it is anymore and demanding to know why she was forced to draw it.

Anger Born of Worry
 Invader Zim (Oni) (Comic Book) / int_f4b1129f
comment
Anger Born of Worry: The comics have Gaz's tense relationship towards Dib become this as part of Adaptational Nice Guy; her regular anger and annoyance towards Dib is no longer from seemingly disliking her brother, but rather disappointment that he's wasting his life obsessing over Zim, who she thinks is an incompetent egomaniac doomed to Failure Is the Only Option, and thus isn't worth dealing with.

A Running Gag in Issue 16 is that Zim keeps referring to Gaz as "Gus". She doesn't seem to mind (at the very least, she never corrects him).

comment
Real After All: The second quarterly is built around Maxwell Beesworth's obsession with the legendary Beeboogoat, a ghostly bee/goat hybrid. In the final panels, it turns out that his obsession comes from the fact that he's a Beeboogoat disguised as a human, and he's looking for another of his kind.

Brick Joke: Issue 14 opens with Zim falling into a hole randomly dug into his front yard, breaking his legs in the process. At the end of the issue, it's shown that he's still stuck in there, and trying to throw his legs over his shoulders so that he can climb out.
