Invader Zim

At long last, another deluxe hardcover edition of the Invader ZIM comics! They're bigger! They're badder! They're better! Actually, they are just bigger, and otherwise the same comics.

This collection of issues #11-#20 of the beloved comic features a hilarious slate of ZIM comics, including "Floopsy Bloops Shmoopsy," "Burrito King," "ZIMZOO," "Tales of Ms. Bitters," and more! So much more. Maybe... too much? Naaaaah.
