Invader ZIM is set to return in the brand-new made-for-TV movie Invader Zim: Enter The Florpus, set to premiere in 2019, and to celebrate, Jhonen Vasquez, the creator of Nickelodeon's fan-favorite animated series has partnered with publishing house Abrams for a brand-new Invader ZIM art book!

Update (4/10) - The release of DOOM DOOM DOOM: The Art of Invader Zim has been slightly pushed back, and will now be released in the U.S. and U.K. on Tuesday, September 24, 2019. It's currently unknown whether this will affect the release of "Enter the Florpus".
However, there is also some good news: Abrams Calendars will be releasing an Invader Zim 2020 Wall Calendar on Tuesday, July 20, 2019! The calendar is available to pre-order now on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.
"This 2020 calendar journeys into the hilarious, dark, and distinctly drawn world of Invader Zim with covers from the comic book series based on Nickelodeon’s beloved animated show. The vivid and dramatic images by a host of top indie comic artists, including series creator Jhonen Vasquez, illustrate the bumbling outcast alien ZIM, along with other favorite characters including the malfunctioning robot GIR, human foes Dib and Gaz, and of course, pigs and bees."
And yep, the official description did just reveal that highly anticipated Invader Zim: Enter The Florpus TV movie is set to premiere during "Spring 2019"! Of course, this may change.
In INVADER ZIM: Enter The Florpus, ZIM discovers his almighty leaders have no intention of coming to Earth and he loses confidence in his own amazingness for the first time in his amazing life, which is the big break his human nemesis Dib has been waiting for. At some point, GIR rides a tiny donkey, and that's all anyone should really care about. Check out Nick's sneak-peek from SDCC 2018 below!:
The 2D-animated TV movie, produced by Nickelodeon in Burbank, will see original voice cast members Richard Horvitz (The Angry Beavers) and Rikki Simons return as fan-favorites ZIM and GIR, alongside Andy Berman as Dib Membrane and Melissa Fahn as Gaz Membrane. Additional voice actors reprising their original series roles include: Wally Wingert as Almighty Tallest Red; Kevin McDonald as Almighty Tallest Purple; Rodger Bumpass as Professor Membrane, Dib and Gaz's father; Olivia d'Abo as Tak, ZIM's Irken nemesis; and Paul Greenberg as Poonchy, one of ZIM and Dib's human classmates.
So, what is a "Florpus"?
Fans of Invader ZIM have been wondering what the heck a Florpus is since the title of the film was first announced, and we finally might have some sort of clue!
Composer Kevin Manthei (Random! Cartoons, Johnny Test, Ben 10, Robot Chicken), who provided musical composition for the series and is returning to compose music for the movie, has unveiled this super sneak-peek on his official Instagram page! There's one catch, though: you need to be a musician or be able to read music to understand it, as its the Florpus motive/theme in notation form!
Fans of the upcoming #invaderzim Enter the Florpus movie are most likely wondering what the heck a Florpus is. I can’t give that away but I can share the Florpus motive/theme in my chicken scratch notation! #composerlife #composer #invaderzimentertheflorpus #theme #motive #jhonenvasquez #nickelodeon
