...who would have thought that my 1000th book would Invader Zim. I'm not sure what that says about me, so think what you will, I guess. But this was actually pretty fun. Did I love every story in this book the same? Honestly, no, I did not. But none of them were boring. Maybe a bit repetitive at times. I mean, for the most part, we're just reading about Zim trying to take over the world while Dib attempts (and fails) to thwart him. But it's still fun. The least serious kind of fun you can have in a book. A bit gross at times, but that's normal for Invader Zim humor, so I guess that's to be expected. My favorite stories definitely involved Gaz, and I liked that we got so much of her in this one. The more unconventional stories were also amusing, like the one that makes fun of binge-watching television shows, or the stories of Ms. Bitters in various different art styles. Which, speaking of, I'm always in awe of the art in these books, even if it is sometimes a bit unsettling to look at. It's those damn colors. I love all the pinks and purples together like that.

Anyway. This was fun. I'll be reading the rest eventually. Ten volumes of Zim in one go is...a lot, if I'm being honest. But that's okay. Still enjoyable.

Wasn't impressed with the guest artists for the first two comics in this volume. I felt the stories were a little bland compared to the previous volume. Hoping the next volume will be back to Vasquez's artistry and storytelling.

Another collection of wacky stories about our favorite little green man. I have to say only a Minimoose cameo? A bit disappointed about that but otherwise good, clean fun.
