Cool World: The Official Comic Adaptation is almost indecipherable. I've never seen the movie that the comic is based on, but if I had to guess, I'd say it's probably as much of a mess as this comic is. The artwork is actually pretty good, but the story itself is pretty crappy.
The reason I have this comic is because I got it, along with the fourth issue of the Cool World mini-series, as gifts from the cast and crew of Star Trek: The Next Generation when I visited the set in January, 1993. I remember being in the ready room just off the Bridge set, and being presented the comics. There were a few Star Trek ones with this one as well, but I remember that my parents wouldn't let me read it as it's slightly more adult in content, though probably not as much as the movie itself is. Anyway, I got this comic in Los Angeles at Paramount Studios, on the set of Star Trek: The Next Generation. So I thought that was pretty cool.
I don't have anything to say about the characters. They're one dimensional, and not especially interesting. Having never seen the movie, I don't know if they're more interesting there than they are here or not. I haven't heard a lot of good things about the movie, so maybe there isn't anything there and this comic is accurate to the movie in that way.
Final Thoughts and Rating: Overall Cool World: The Official Comic Adaptation isn't worth anyone's time. The artwork is decent but that's about it. The story is dumb, the characters are lame and there's no logic to the cartoon world in the comic. I'm giving this comic 1/10 stars just because the artwork is pretty great, even if the Human characters look weird.
