Invader Zim #8 maybe isn't the funniest issue of the series, but it's still really imaginative, dark and weird; it hits all the points you want from a Zim story I wouldn't qualify it as bad (they haven't really had a “bad” issue yet) and it's a relief to see Dib come out on top by the last page for a change.

I love that gross alien symbote pants are the focus of this issue, and that the one teacher in skool, with a K, looks like Donald Sutherland from animal house. The super truncated flashback was awesome, and meeting Groyna and her teaming up with Dib was an interesting turn. This book is always silly and gross, and this issue does not disappoint. The "pants Hunters" line that lead to the splash page of the pants hunters comic by "slacks press" was a genuine laugh out loud moment. The "pants pants revolution" line was pure gold. In case you're like 9, or were legally never allowed to enter a mall, dance dance revolution is a ridiculous dancing game for mallrats to pour TONS of money into, just to dance. I love that this series does whatever it takes to return the world to its status quo by the end of every single issue. more
