So far, Oni's Invader Zim comic has done an excellent job of capturing the unique vibe and sense of humor of the short-lived but much-beloved animated series. It helps that Oni put the series in the hands of creator Jhonen Vasquez and other Zim veterans. With that in mind, issue #6 offers another big test for the series. This month Vasquez steps back and allows new writer/artist K.C. Green to run wild in the Zim-verse. The end result is a little different and maybe not quite as memorable as the previous issues, but it's great to see these characters through a different lens.
Green opts for a relatively less bombastic story than we've seen in recent chapters. Of the main cast, only Zim and Gir put in an appearance this month. For some reason Oni solicited this issue as containing three separate short stories when in actuality it's just one tale that plays out in three locations. What begins as Zim's attempt to secure a business loan quickly devolves into chaos and gluttony and all the rampant silliness you'd expect from a good Zim adventure. Green crams in plenty of gross-out humor alongside the goofy plot twists. Suffice it to say, this isn't a Zim story Nickelodeon would have ever permitted on the air. And that's part of what makes this comic so great. It doesn't strive for a mature readers approach, but it's not afraid to be crass either. And while the tone of this issue is different from what's come before, the pacing of the humor is right in line with Vasquez and his collaborators.
