About this ebook

ZIM and his filthy evil ways have been gone for what feels like years. But Dib KNOWS the alien menace will rear his head again, and he won't leave the house, or his 900 security monitors, until it happens. And it WILL happen. Oh, it WILL.

Ratings and reviews

Well, if we can't have a new season of the cartoon, I this will most certainly do! Personally, though, I'd prefer to have a more complete story per issue. But I guess a multi-part story to kick things off is not unacceptable. Perhaps my complaint stems from the fact that I'm not a an avid (print) comic reader, so the norms for the medium might be a bit outside my comfort zone.

A great comeback for the series. All the art style, dialog, and humor I enjoyed from the cartoon is perfectly translated into this comic! The only complaint I have is I don't get to hear the characters funny voices. It's still a great read and I urge you fans to pick this up. The almighty tallest commands it... filthy earth weasels.

I bought the physical Hastings variant right after buying the google play version and reading it. Then after I read the comic I bingewatched the series and drew my old fantrolls from when I was 9. So much nostalgia was brought back to my from my childhood and it felt so good to have the continuation after 13 years. I read the dialogue in the character's voices, and the beginning credits that listed the voice actors from the show just warmed my heart. The comic really stays true to its origins and I couldn't be happier. It feels amazing to have a bit of my childhood back, and I'd be happy to pay for both online and physicals versions to help support and keep Zim alive after his rise from the dead. Thank you.
