Whilst it takes elements of the game and the cartoon for inspiration, this comic takes place in its own continuity.In the first issue, Jim has been a spacefaring superhero for at least a little time; he has defeated Queen Slug-for-a-Butt, Major Mucus and Doc Duodenum and successfully rescued Princess What's-Her-Name, bringing her to live on Earth with him. As the issue starts, the Queen, the Doctor and the Major all arrive on Planet Heck, seeking to hire Evil the Cat's demonic lawyers to hunt Jim down and sue him for his attacks on them. Back on Earth, Jim asks Princess What's-Her-Name on a date, only to be interrupted by Psy-Crow, Professor Monkey-For-A-Head, and several of Bob the Killer Goldfish's feline lackies. Jim and the Princess are kidnapped; Jim is taken to the Professor's lair, whilst the Princess is taken to Bob's world. Though the Professor and Psy-Crow extract Jim from his super-suit, they underestimate his resourcefulness and he escapes. On La Planeta De Agua, Princess What's-Her-Name easily defeats Bob's lackies, but is brought to heel by a transmission from the Professor's lair, where he seemingly threatens to kill Jim unless the Princess goes along with Bob's demands that she marry him. But things soon go wrong for the Professor and Psy-Crow, as Jim easily defeats them and reclaims his suit. They escape a beating by revealing Bob's impending nuptials, with Jim pausing only long enough to free the Professor's victims — including one Peter Puppy, who insists on coming along to help Jim — before he rockets off in search of La Planeta De Agua. In the second issue, after some trouble finding the way, Jim makes it to La Planeta De Agua and interrupts the wedding at the last moment. Despite Bob's wedding present of a giant battle suit of his own, the Killer Goldfish is defeated. In the final issue, after blowing up the wedding hall with a bomb conveniently planted in Princess What's-Her-Name's bouquet, Jim, the Princess and Peter escape La Planeta De Agua. Peter makes a request that they escort him to his home planet in the dangerous Dogstar System, a trip complicated by his repeatedly transforming into a monster. However, lonce they reach Peter's home, he realizes that his planet is actually a sucky place to live on, and he decides to go back to Earth with Jim and the Princess. The two finally resume their date, whilst Peter puts a final thwarting on Evil the Cat and his army of lawyers.

Adaptation Deviation | |
| Earthworm Jim (Comic Book) / int_23a1e2a9 | comment |
Adaptation Deviation: At the start of the mini-series, Jim and Princess What's-Her-Name are living on Earth, but they haven't met Peter Puppy. New Junk City is an interplanetary garage and junkyard run by Chuck, who's not a bad guy but just an average joe whom Jim sees for directions. Peter Puppy is an experiment of Professor Monkey-for-a-Head's, rather than an alien (games) or the victim of Evil the Cat's cruel sorceries (cartoon). Princess What's-Her-Name combines elements of her Valley Girl game self and her Action Girl cartoon self in personality. She's also very fond of Jim, and open to a romantic relationship with him. | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Whilst the super suit seems perfectly loyal to Jim when he's in the cockpit, once Jim is out of the picture, it become a major nuisance that causes Professor Monkey-for-a-Head no end of trouble. | |
