No me gustan tanto en los que no aparece mucho Zim, pero el final estuvo muy bueno y me encanta lo intensa que es Gaz jajajaja. Me pareció muy buena la referencia sobre Clarence Wong.

While I didn't hate it, it just felt really out of place.

Ultimate sibling rivalry

I quite enjoyed this installment of Invader Zim. The fights between Gaz and Dib have always been hilarious. Not to mention Dib is just one of those characters that you can't help to love, even if you want to hate him. And I love how their father doesn't question Gaz's motives because the name of science. I have to say the best part about the entire comic is Gir's gaming skills, they are exactly how you'd imagine them to be- random just like Gir. And overall that was my favorite part of this comic, because Gir is the best.

Don’t like the modernity of NPC jokes or video game cringe, but the Minecraft or Animal Crossing reimagining is cute. I recognize the other disgusting side scroller game but can’t recall its name. The new younger non-goth Gaz design really sucks.

I didn't like this one that much however, the gaming references we're pretty cool.

I miss Zim in this number but the rivalry between siblings is always juicy 😂
Gaz es Gaz y la verdad Dib had it coming!

I was initially disappointed that this got away from Zim's storyline and did not even explain the fate of the Irken Armada, but looking back this was a nice homage to video games. Although, Dib is very stupid if he is willing to interrupt Gaz's gaming. GIR's appearance was also a nice surprise. The inclusion of alternate realities is a bit weird for Invader Zim, though.

"You don't know crazy, yet. But you will".
Not bad, but a bit disappointed that Zim only had a brief 'cameo' in this issue (the one where he's screaming at the cat). I felt pretty much the same as the Recap Kid in page 2.
No more non-Zim issues, please?

No Zim. A Dib issue. I liked it - the story is very 2015 - but I hope there aren't going to be many non-Zim issues.

The description's a bit off, but this issue is great for all the random gaming parodies, plus, lots of Gaz is awesome :)
