DOOM COMES EARLY IN THE FORM OF INVADER ZIM ZINE SPECIAL

INVADER ZIM COMIC SUPPLEMENT TO DEBUT AT DENVER COMIC CON 2015


PORTLAND, OR – May 15, 2015 – Oni Press, Portland's premier independent comic book publisher, announced today TruthShrieker, a satirical kickoff to the ongoing comic book series based on the beloved animated show Invader Zim, in collaboration with Jhonen Vasquez (jhonenv) and Nickelodeon.

TruthShrieker, a conspiracy-zine-style comic, features work by Invader Zim creator Jhonen Vasquez along with Aaron Alexovich, Eric Trueheart, Rikki Simons and Megan Lawton. It features articles by Invader Zim antagonist Dib among other brave TruthShrieker contributors unencumbered by the public's insistence on "facts." Fans can look forward to hard-hitting journalism pieces like "Where is Invader Zim?", "Ms. Bitters Has Always Existed??", "Is This Bee Haunted?" and many more.


TruthShrieker will first be available at the Oni Press booth (#529) at Denver Comic Con, May 23-25, and Jhonen Vasquez will sign copies during the event. The next chance for fans to get this unique prelude to the Invader Zim comic will be at San Diego Comic-Con International 2015, July 9-12. After that, TruthShrieker will be available online through the Oni Press web store. The first issue of Invader Zim #1, will be available July 1 in comic stores across the country.

Don't forget you still have time to pre-order Invader Zim #1 at your local comic shop using code MAY151468 and the Jhonen Vasquez variant with code MAY151469!
