Operation Doom DVD Cover Art.
Operation Doom is a DVD that came out February 22, 2011, featuring 13 of the top-rated episodes of Invader Zim on one disc. It is supported by "Operation Head Pigeons 2.0", a Facebook-centered Invader ZIM revival movement. The DVD was released within a few months after the Operation's holiday greeting card mailing campaign.
The DVD is available for order on Hot Topic's website. It is also available at Amazon.

Other stores selling the DVD are Walmart, Target, and Best Buy. Operation Doom is $16.99.

Facts of Doom[]
- "The Voting of the Doomed" is misspelt on the episode list on the back cover; instead, it reads "The Voting of the Doom" . However, in the episode selection menu, it is spelled correctly.
- The episodes are not in the correct order. For example, "The Nightmare Begins" is the fourth episode on the list.
- The opening credit sequences was cut out in "The Nightmare Begins".
- Before the Main Menu loads, the DVD plays the new Nickelodeon logo, and commercials for Spongebob Squarepants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Avatar the Last Airbender DVDs.
- Dib, pizza, Zim's lawn gnomes, GIR riding on a pig, Madness, an "I heart Earth" flag, and tacos are surrounding Zim with his hands over Earth on the front of the DVD case.
- The front cover of the DVD mirrors a similar shot from the opening scene of the pilot episode, which depicts Zim behind the Earth with his hands over it. It also mirrors this piece of artwork.
- The DVD was released just over a month before the tenth anniversary of "The Nightmare Begins".
- This is the only Invader Zim DVD to be released by Paramount Home Entertainment.
