Prepare to experience the ultimate in intergalactic incompetence as an Irken life form arrives on planet Earth with a mission of doom in the first episode of this deliciously warped Nickelodeon series from Johnny the Homicidal Maniac creator Jhonen Vasquez. As the power of the Irken armada grows, their longtime dream of dominating the universe comes ever closer to reality -- if only it weren't for the thick-headed antics of overzealous alien Zim. Banished to Irken food service for nearly destroying the planet, Zim begs the Almighty Tallest for a shot at redemption. When Zim is sent on a secret mission to far away planet Earth, the only person who can see through the alien invader's human disguise is a young schoolboy named Dib, a paranormal enthusiast who makes it his life mission to defend planet Earth from the destructive Irken invaders!
