Another great addition to the Zim-verse, especially the time travel story (wow, Zim has had two time travel stories (three if you count the episode where Dib thinks he won) and both were great, though I think Piggies might have the edge over this one, but it's CLOSE). Other than that, this collection checked all the boxes of great Zim stories: Dib being tormented for no good reason, Gir being Gir (TUNA-CAT!), Gaz being Gaz (and having to restrain herself from killing her brother), a story about Ms. Bitters, and Zim's insanity at full throttle. Not only is it an enjoyable volume in and of itself, but the great thing about these comic books is that thanks to their success it appears that Nickelodeon is bringing back Zim for a made-for-TV movie! AWESOME! (I'm sure recap kid is losing it right now)
