‘Johnny the Homicidal Maniac’ May Have Just Had Its Return Teased

Those who enjoy Jhonen Vasquez’s Johnny the Homicidal Maniac may have a reason to celebrate as last night Vasquez (who also created Invader Zim) tweeted a GIF showing the outline of main character Johnny with the text “Murder comes in a handful of pixels.” alongside the hashtag #JTHM (Johnny the Homicidal Maniac).

While it hasn’t been made clear yet if this tweet even has a meaning or if this is just a bit of work the talented artist just created and wanted to share, it has fans excitedly believing in the return of Johnny.

Vasquez has recently returned to a previous project, Invader Zim, so it isn’t completely out of the question for him to pay the world of Johnny another visit. Johnny the Homicidal Maniac concluded its run in 1997 and split into two short spin-offs.
