The "Invader Zim" comic book series has been one of Oni Press' biggest successes of the past couple of years, so it's no surprise to see it get the deluxe hardcover treatment this summer. CBR has the first details on the book.
The "Invader Zim" Book One Hardcover will include the first 10 issues of the series, the #0 prequel "zine" and a cover gallery of each of the retail and variant covers for those issues. The 328-page volume has a cover price of $49.99, and is scheduled for release on July 12 -- right on time for this year's Comic-Con International in San Diego, which takes place from July 19 to July 23.
Additionally, CBR has the first look at Matthew Seely's new variant cover for the freshly released "Invader Zim" #17, which will be available for $10 via Oni's booth at the upcoming Emerald City Comicon in Seattle, this March 2 to March 5.
