Jhonen Vasquez

There really is no point in me telling you how amazing Mister Vasquez is...But that is not going to stop me from doing so, anyway. Jhonen Vasquez has had, and still does have, a big impact in my life. His work has helped to shape me into the person I am today. Growing up, Invader Zim spoke to my little demon in me (you know, the one that lives in your squeedly spooch). I was always strange, and the show let me know that I wasn't the only one with such demented thoughts. When I became a little more "mature", I started buying Johnny The Homicidal Maniac comics. It calmed me down, it was a way that I disposed of my subtle pent up anger. So, that kid is chastising me for my medical problems, huh? Lets pretend that , instead of just walking away, I pulled out a knife and cut off their foul tung instead. Now that I had my fun, let's push those fantasies away and continue our day. Reading JTHM helped me from causing harm; the damage that I really wanted to cause, but was to moral to do anything about. When I had surgeries, Invader Zim, JTHM, Happy Noodle Boy, and all the rest of Vasquez's work helped me from getting depressed. Strange, right? That something so macabre could keep me smiling?



These are the reasons why I consider Jhonen Vasquez to be my "Dark Knight". So thank you JV, for all your unintentional help!

Jhonen u r AWESOME! why did u cancel Invader Zim? i loved (and still do) it so much! i bought all the DVDs at Hot Topic and am wearing a shirt as we speak!Thank u for casting Richard Horvitz as Zim! Billy West, Mark Hamill, or Andy Berman is not a good choice. well,at least Billy West wasn't, i'm not sure about the other 2. I haven't read any of his comics but my friend brought one to school and i can tell from the pictures, their insane. the book i saw him bring was Squee. i don't know if i'm going to buy em.

Jhonen made Jthm (Johnny the homicidal maniac), squee, and Invader Zim, he is a genius.

Ever since the first episode of Invader Zim came on, I knew Jhonen was an artist. He is very talented and artistic. His drawings are simply amazing and original, I've never seen such original drawing. Jhonen's very first comic, Johnny The Homicidal Maniac helped through a time I was very depressed, lonely, and angry. Peers were getting to me and I began to hate everyone, as does Johnny, so JTHM gave me something I call pain-food, like getting rid of your pain. Invader Zim made me laugh non stop! Every inch of that show was funny and enlightening. Today it is very under appreciated because it is 'dark.' That doesn't mean the kids considered dark should have to put up with sunshine and rainbow cartoons. Jhonen Vasquez is a dark person, and if the people who cancelled it didn't like it, why did they watch it? Even though Invader Zim is gone, we still have the memories of Jhonens fabulous cartoon. In conclusion of my babbilings, Jhonen is a one of a kind guy. Always fresh and original with his work. Jhonen deserves more tha he already gets. Hopefully someday people will see how original (and funny) his works are. Thanks for your listening everyone! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~BethanStein

Jhonen I Love his works and his style its so..... Unique and I mean that in a Good way of Course. Plainly all I have to say in this review is that Jhonen Rules. Invader Zim was one of The First of his works ive seen though a Few years later while on The Computer I saw JTHM, Squee and I Feel Sick however I was quite frightened by them. Since then I didnt watch Zim that much and I regret that I mean how can I stop watching that show. Last year my Parents got rid of Nicktoons the only Channel I Could view Zim on however when I started to get back into Zim after L&S so I then found out that DVDs were released in 2004 and so eventually I ordered them and so thats when I became more a JV Fan and I wasnt really so freaked out by Squee, JTHM or I Feel Sick anymore. Despite he would never continue Zim it would be cool had he started another series on a Channel that gave him creative freedom unlike Nickelodeon. Thats all I have to say mostly how Jhonen Rules and why I think so.

I really LOVE all of Jhonen's work. Every last bit of it. Period. He has an incredible talent that I just can't describe! ZIM is one of my favorite shows, and you can just tell that Jhonen created it without even knowing it. All the dialouge just screams JHONEN!!!! He's very funny, and has a twisted and evil mind, i mean that in a good way of course!! ^_^ I really Love him because he's SO SEXY!!!!! Whoops...did I just say that out loud?? Anways, Jhonen will always be my over all favorite person in this doomed world! I love you Jhonen!

Jhonen Vasquez is a god. :) He's the creator of my favorite Nick show Invader Zim (Damn Nick for cancelling it!). He also created Johnny the homicidal maniac comics, Squee!, and I feel sick. I soooo love his creations, so dark and evil. When I grow up, I hope to be a comic artist and TV creator like him. :) I really admire him so much, I hope someday I would get to meet him in person. Jhonen Vasquez you rock. Keep up the good work!

Jhonen Vasquez is a genius! I think they should bring back Invader Zim! Because i think it was the best show ever! Jhonen Vasquez has created many great comics like Jonny the Homicidal maniac, and Squee! Also he created one of the best shows in history! If anyone says that Jhonen Vasquez sucks they have no idea who he is and what he has done! The show Invader ZIM was canceled by nickelodean and aparently they were high on crack at the time because thats the stupidest decision Nickelodean has ever made! I think Jhonen Vasquez is a genius and i bet many people agree with me 2. That is all i have to say.

Jhonen Vasquez is an amazing artist that hasn't been (as he should be) recognized ENOUGH for his work.. He is extremely talented and should have his own show, which should probably be watched by the entire population. Jeez. Wake up, people, this guy is 2x as talented as..Walt Disney, for God's sake! Gir should be like the Mickey Mouse of today! How wonderful would that be! Hah, we all would like to see that happen, at least his fans would. Wake up Nickelodeon. This guy ROCKS! Why cancel his show and still play SPONGEBOB?!?!! That, my friends, is ridiculous.

Wow I love this guy! His art is wicked good and his ideas are great! I like Invader Zim and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. His GIR character could be the best thing to come out of someones head! I love the color of Jhonen's hair ... bright red! I like how in Invader Zim he puts cameos of himself and his other cast, crew and in some cases Brittney Spears and Christina Agulara in the episodes lol! I wonder where his ideas come from and how they are put to paper or tv... lol I'd love to see an Invader Zim movie... I dont think that will happen tho Nickelodeon is a jerk face for taknig it off the air... but it still lives in reruns and DVD's... I've only just discovered Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. I havent read more than a page of the comic... I kinda want one now... Jhonen is an awesome animator and creator of shows and comics!

Gosh. Monseiur Vasquez is truly talented.

I recently finished reading Johnny. It was great, and in some ways reminds me a lot of my stupid comic book which I\\\'ve been working on foreverrrr.

It will probably never get published, due to its retardation, though.

Slave labor will be like \\\"Uh... -calmly incinerates comic- :) Hi, what, now?\\\"

=\\\\

Blarg. I am but a fan person thing of the great works of someone great, who probably detests fame and glory, and merely wanted to publish his work.

O_o.

My review. Ayuh. Jhonen Vasquez Is a fantastic Artist/writer. Very much, velly muchhh.

Ok, now that it\\\'s 06:47 AM and I have not slept yet...

Later gator.

What a genius! How can anyone create such brilliant works as Johnny the Homicidal Maniac and Fillerbunny? I personally have almost never seen such clever dialogue and creative ideas used in any comic or cartoon as him. Really, the only other cartoonists with comparable talent, in my opinion, are Seth MacFarlane(Family Guy and American Dad), Roman Dirge(Lenore), and Maxwell Atoms(The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy). It just seems that every cartoon he creates is just aswome, no matter how lame it sounds. There is no one else that could make a 'head explody' so funny.



Of course, Invader Zim is his other great masterpiece. Few cartoons around can compare to this unique piece of work. Aside from Vasquez's comics, there is little that can, in my opinion, be greater than Zim.



What truely makes Jhonen so awsome is his ability to make such macabre cartoons and the courage to reveal them to the world. He never cares how morally wrong his work is. This is what truely makes him one of the all time greats.

Vasquez is one of the most talented cartoon writer / painter / creator.

He's INVADER ZIM is just genious!

I hope he will do something like this again and soon!



Its so sad that ZIM show was closed, but I believe that Jhonen will make something more funniest and more interesting.



Good luck, Jhonen!

We'll wait for your creations!

I mean, if you can get past his creepy, somewhat disturbing, and general outlandish ideas and drawing styles, you're good.



Armed with a mind for the macabre, Jhonen is the genius behind Johnny the Homicidal Maniac and Invader ZIM. ZIM is an all-time favorite of mind, the crazy characters, the very detailed drawings of some of the strangest sights to ever been seen on Nickelodeon.



Sadly ZIM never got the full chance it needed to soar from cult classic to all out hit. Nonetheless, Jhonen's work is never to be underestimated is best read or viewed in a dimly lit setting, to allow for maximum effect.

Ah yes, Jhonen Vasquez. Genius. A man who gives us varitey in our dull lives. Creator of Invader ZIM and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, and voice actor. Can we give him a hand? *appluades* Great work, Jhonen. I have been a loyal fan since third grade and will keep going strong. (heh heh, see? I am another zombie to your work, your mighty empire is expanding ever more!)Thanks!

He's the best director, writer, etc. that this world ever seen, sometime he's not aprecciated as he should [when nick canceled Invader Zim].



He's mind is a real work machine of imagination, creativity, making each episode best then the other.



One day this man, or his kind will save the Tv World, making us the best shows ever made.

This guy turns Happy things into horrible and dark, and vice versa! Especially in Zim,(Great in TMHCE) where happy bouncy(in this case christmas) musicjust goes to creepy and the tone of the episode just changes. With a little help from Kevin Manthei. He is wonderful at what he does and enjoys it. Jhonen has the amazing ability to truly take a turn, From Johnny the Homicidal Maniac to Invader Zim on Nickelodeon!



In so many words, Jhonen Vasquez is INGENIOUS!

Jhonen Vasquez has a very unique (and hilarious) sense of humor. He makes the most morbid things funny, as evidenced by his comics and his TV show, Invader Zim. He also comes up with amazing plots. Like in his graphic novel, Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, where he has all the stories and plot elements going at once, and they all come together in the end. And there are so many great plots in Invader Zim. He's a very talented voice actor, too.

Jhonen Vasquez is (in my opinion) a genius. His comic books are awesome, and his show Invader Zim is really funny.

One of his comic books, Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, is my all time favorite book. I've read is no less then 12 times. He captures how mean and evil our society can be towards other people, and also puts some humor into it.

Many people may think that Jhonen's sense of humor is questionable, and many people don't like it, but personally I think that he is one of the greatest writers and artists of all time.

Jhonen Vasquez is truly a genius mastermind, only a comic genius could come up with such ideas as Invader Zim and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. Invader Zim is truly my favorite animated show I think it goes beyond the rules of any other childrens animated series such as, the atmosphere isn't always happy happy, it's sometimes dark and yet funny.

It seems He could take anything that's supposed to be evil and make it cute and funny he could also turn it around and make something cute evil
