They’ve conquered time. They’ve escaped Hell. But this time, Bill and Ted will have to put their most excellent heads together to survive an all-new adventure spanning the entire universe. Whoa! It all starts when the Wyld Stallyns are kidnapped by a bodacious alien and get handed over to their…long lost family? WHOA! The adventures continue as writer Brian Joines and artist Bachan, the non-non-non-heinous duo behind Bill & Ted Go to Hell, serve up a stellar saga of totally bogus and most triumphant in Bill & Ted Save the Universe.
A serviceable tale set in the established universe, and one that thankfully doesn't grope for or force a historic time travel angle that wasn't necessary.
I took forever to read again my bad. I love going on a 6 month hiatus.
This is in no particular order lol.
Okay anyway, we meet Bill and Ted’s moms which is cool. Evil sludge takes control over Bill and Ted’s loved ones. Missy helps save the day by using her psychic powers to possess an alien. Bills dad is also possessed by an alien but the amount of alcohol in his body almost obliterates it (Glurm) so he’s got no choice but to get out lol.
It was so Deacon focused. I get it, Ted is the centre of attention in his life. But man was he super annoying lol. His redemption arc was pretty cool though. He learns his lesson, because he was revealed to be the one who got their moms to go on their expedition into space to spread the word of Wyld Stallyns. What would have been EVEN COOLER is if he was shown as that mysterious bearded man way earlier on, instead of at the very end. So it could have been more of a “OHHH *THAT* WAS HIM!” reaction instead of a “oh so he was there”.
But I did actually really enjoy it. I think this story about how it’s affected them and their families with everyone leaving to go into space was pretty good. Like, of course you’d reconsider traveling through the universe if it meant you wouldn’t get to see your family anymore.
That was a most unprecedented adventure.
IM BILL S PRESTON ESQ. AND IM TED THEODORE LOGAN. AND WE’RE- WYLD STALLYNS 🔥💥🎸🎸💥⚡️🔥💥
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
With the upcoming Bill and Ted Face the Music movie coming out next week, in addition to watching the movies again, I thought I would look into the couple graphic novels that were released, continuing the story of the first two movies. In comparing the comics to the movies... they obviously chose to go in different directions, but "being excellent to each other" extends in all ways, so I can appreciate both. Other than continuing the standard jokes: "Station!"; "Hi Missy, I mean Mom."; "I am Bill S Preston..." and many others, this story seeks to fulfill a largely missing element from the originals: Bill and Ted's real moms. Turns out that these ladies have been in outer space, sharing Wyld Stallions music and dogma, preparing a way for a Galactic Tour. But the boys are more grown now, being husbands and fathers (though largely still the guys we know and love) and their initial space adventure and connection with their moms causes more issues than solutions. Overall, obviously, the story turns out to be very happy and stays in character. A fun and nice read.
The previous book was decidedly silly (still enjoyable, but silly), this one, though still silly, actually had a much better story to it. I enjoyed how there was more focus on how their life has affected their families and that there were consequences for all that has happened. The fun artwork kept true to the theme which completed this great addition to the Bill & Ted universe.
Campy and crazy like bill and Ted should be. Entertaining and fairly true to their characters while Also expanding the world they exist in. A bit too crazy to be a movie but has some elements that would have been nice in the latest movie
Another most excellent entry in the Bill and Ted saga. Very enjoyable and in the vein of Bill and Ted. It has its flaws but so do the two Great Ones. Party on Dudes!
