BOOM! Studios has acquired the publishing rights for Invader Zim, and it has plans to "bring classic stories, long-sought-after collections, and brand-new original content to readers beginning later this year," IGN reports.
While details regarding creative teams, release formats, and exclusive editions will be revealed in the "coming months," fans can expect to see out favorite Irken once again be joined by GIR, Dib, and Gaz in these older stories and "entirely new invasions, conspiracies, and catastrophically ridiculous adventures."
“Few properties have maintained the passionate, enduring fanbase that Invader Zim has,” teased Bryce Carlson, VP, Business Development & Special Projects, Random House Worlds, in a statement. “We have exciting plans to bring beloved out of print material back onto shelves, and BOOM! is going to usher in a new era of DOOM! with brand-new stories that expand the strange and chaotic world fans know and love. The new invasion has begun. You’ve been warned...”
Invader Zim was created by comic book writer and cartoonist Jhonen Vasquez for Nickelodeon, and its original TV run lasted from only 2001 to 2002. It was canceled during its second season, and six episodes from that season went unreleased until they appeared on DVD in 2004 and on the Nicktoons Network in 2006.
The series has since become a cult classic, and it not only had a sequel comic run and a Netflix film called Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus, but also three large-scale InvaderCONs that brought fans from around the world to one spot to celebrate their love of this property.
BOOM! Studios is also known for Keanu Reeves' BRZRKR, Something Is Killing the Children, and Lumberjanes, as well as projects featuring the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Dune, The Expanse, and Garfield properties, with their graphic novel series, HexVet, created by Sam Davies, being adapted into the Nickelodeon animated series, HexVets & Magic Pets.

Through his foundation, he drives transformative research and hope,” Mary Simon, Canada’s governor general, said in a statement.
