Media Blasters has been given the go ahead from Nickelodeon to release the series Invader Zim to DVD starting with a new nine episode set.

Invader Zim, created by comic book artist Jhonen Vasquez, is about Zim, an alien from the planet Irk, a society where height rules. When you are as short as Zim you need to do something to get noticed. Unfortunately for Zim, piloting a giant destructo-bot that obliterates your home planet during an important invasion doesn’t really make you a local hero. In a plot to rid themselves of Zim, Irk’s leaders, the Almighty Tallest have sent Zun on a mission to a far-away space rock called Earth. If all goes as planned, irksome Invader Zim will be out of their hair forever. But Zim discovers a race of Earthenoids just waiting for him to take over their puny planet. That is until an Earthenoid named Dib discovers his plot for world domination.

The set will include the first nine episodes, plus alternate angle takes and cast interviews.

With a suggested retail price of $24.95, Zim sets down on May 11th.
