In Bill & Ted's Most Triumphant Return, the time-traveling, air-guitar-strumming duo from the classic 80s films pick right back up where they left off. This time, they try to befriend De Nomolos during a visit to the future, but instead they've messed up their own future most heinously. The comic does a very good job of keeping the characters and humor from the original movies alive, while continuing the storyline with an original plot. There are also little shorts at the end, featuring plots such as a scam email and Missy invoking the ghost of Einstein to pass an exam. If you're looking for a totally non-non-non bogus way to spend your time, this graphic novel is it.

Note: I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley. I was not compensated in any other fashion for the review and the opinions reflected below are entirely my own. Special thanks to the publisher and author for providing the copy.

Great for Bill and Ted fans and movie cult followers. This graphic novel keeps with the mood and idea of the movie and the text and storylines do as well. Yes, it's cheesy, but so was the original stories in the original formats. There's one main story, then a few extra short ones at the end (with different artists for each, it appears).

Net Galley Feedback

Do we really need more Bill and Ted 25 years later? If your answer is "Yes", then you'll enjoy this series. Lynch does an admirable job of extending the spirit of the movies and serving us a capable plot.

I enjoyed this book and feel it is a fitting continuation of the first two movies. it is a fun ride and I hope the long talked about 3rd movie will use this as a source material if it ever actually gets made. Bill and Ted are truly EXCELLENT!

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for the chance to read and review this book. My honest review follows.

Dude!

This comic takes place like a Bill and Ted movie3. Taking place pretty much right after the end of the second film. I really liked it!

The writers did a great job of translating our beloved dudes to comic form. Not only did they look great, but they really felt the like the same characters. I could hear the dialogue in Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves' voice. They were still very silly, but sweet and goodhearted. Not always the easiest feat! There are plenty of favorite characters ( Rufus, Death, Station etc) and plenty of new characters to keep it familiar, but not a retread

Another thing I liked was the lovely little foreword from Alex Winter, who I wish we heard from more. As well as the small collection of mini comics. They were a lot of fun.

I definitely recommend it especially to Bill and Ted fans, and cravers of 80's nostalgia. for a younger audience I would rexommend watching the 2 films first.

Be excellent to each other.

If you were a fan of the Bill and Ted movies, you'll enjoy this comic. Picking up where the second movie ended, this follows the plot that would be used for a third. As crazy and off-the-wall as the movies, the spirit continues on in this book. I would recommend it for any who enjoys that type of humor.

This took me back to the movies. Loved it! Made me quite nostalgic!

It's rare when something like this works, a comic book series detailing future (or past) adventures of Bill and Ted? Normally, that sounds like a mess, but this series only added to the awesome characters that were established in the first two movies. It also reminds me of the Back to the Future comics which added a lot to a already great franchise. I understand the uneasiness, but this is a great book worth of the (Air Guitar Riff) Excellent! Bill and Ted.

From the publisher: Bill and Ted must now fulfill their destiny to become the inspiration for galactic harmony, but at what cost! In an adventure of epic proportions, one change to the future will set the Wyld Stallyns on a time-travelling odyssey of music, villainy, history, and excellence!

From Brian Lynch (Angel: After the Fall; screenwriter of Minions) and Jerry Gaylord (Fanboys vs. Zombies), experience Bill and Ted's most triumphant return! Also featuring short stories from Ryan North (Unbeatable Squirrel Girl), Kurtis Wiebe (Rat Queens), Christopher Hastings (The Adventures of Dr. McNinja), Ian McGinty (Bravest Warriors), and many more!

I just finished reading Brian Lynch's Bill & Ted's Most Triumphant Return. It was an entertaining book that captured the spirit of the original movie, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. The story picked right up from the sequel film, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, with our heroes Bill and Ted having won the San Dimas, California Battle of the Bands. Now, however, they have to write a second song. What to do...if only they had access to a time machine in the form of a telephone booth (remember those?) Wait, they do. Bill and Ted head into the future to find out what their second song is. Along the way, they run in to the teenage version of their arch-nemesis Chuck de Nomolos. They decide they want to help him out so he won't grow up evil and decide to kill them. What happens next could only have happened to Bill and Ted. Time-travelling shenanigans ensue, and everyone learns more excellent lessons from Bill and Ted.

I loved the original movie when I was a kid, the second less so. But regardless, when I realized that the story of Bill and Ted was continued, I leaped at the opportunity to read and review it. And my verdict is that Bill & Ted's Most Triumphant Return is good. It's a fun adventure, and Lynch perfectly captures the spirit of the movies. Many of our favorite characters return, and there is more development of the world that the music of Wyld Stallyns (Bill and Ted's band) inspires. My only caution is that it's different to read Bill and Ted's adventures rather than just watching them.

In addition to the main storyline, the collected edition of Bill & Ted's Most Triumphant Return also contains multiple short stories starring some of the side characters from the movies.

Overall, I can recommend Bill & Ted's Most Triumphant Return by Brian Lynch. I particularly recommend it to fans of the movie, but I think new readers may enjoy it as well. And remember, Be excellent to each other! And party on, dudes!

I received a preview copy of this book from Boom Studios and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Review This book is a fun dive into what's makes Bill and Ted special to their fans. Set immediately after the events of the first film we see the duo under pressure to write a new song and find a way to support their most excellent families. They go to the future for inspiration and end up trying to help their greatest enemy. It's tangent city afterwards as the guys race through several possible futures, trying to fix their own

A decent book, peppered with bonus stories as well as multiple pieces of cover art. If the artwork didn't look so Cartoon Network-y it might have gelled with me a lot more than it did. The main story is a decent enough attempt at imitating the wacky, convoluted shenanigans of the two films. Recommended if you're a fan, although that design won't be for everyone.

Certainly not my 'thing' but definitely triumphant! A most excellent rendition of stories featuring Bill and Ted and their non-bogus adventures. This will definitely capture the hearts of any Bill and Ted fan.

'Bill & Ted's Most Triumphant Return' by Brian Lynch is the sequel we didn't think we'd get. I'm not sure some of us wanted one either.

Starting with a pretty decent interview by Alex Winter, the story then starts with all kinds of chaos. Bill and Ted are living the dream with little Bill and Ted and the princesses, but their future isn't as secure as they thought it was. While they look for lyrics to their second hit, they find someone who is not a fan of Bill and Ted.

The movies are fun because you have airheads Bill and Ted, but you also have the historical figures that showed up along the way. What this story is, is just the airhead parts. Death shows up as a supporting character and some of the other historical folks make cameos. Instead, it's a story of these characters trying to fix their timeline. It's fine for what it is, but I was hoping for a better story.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from BOOM! Studios and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

I loved both Bill and Ted movies when I was growing up so I jumped at the chance to be able to review this. The first story was about the two of them going into the future and trying to stop Chuck de Nomolos from killing them. At first it seems like they succeed in befriending him but then his evil plan comes to light and he takes over their lives. It was a good story totally in keeping with the Bill and Ted oeuvre.
There are several other shorter stories with different types of art that aren't as good as the main story but somewhere enjoyable. Definitely a book worth picking up if you're a Bill and Ted fan!

Three and a half stars
This book came out May 2

Most sequels are vastly inferior to their originals, with the possible exception of ‘The Bride of Frankenstein’, ‘Godfather II’ and ‘Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey’. The latter was released three years after ‘Bill & Ted’s Excellent Journey’ and 1991 was to prove the year in which Keanu Reeves really broke through as a film star, not only appearing as Ted ‘Theodore’ Logan but as Johnny Utah in ‘Point Blank’ and as Scott Favor in ‘My Own Private Idaho’. Since then Reeves has achieved iconic status, most notably through his performance as Neo in the ‘Matrix’ trilogy, whilst never really persuading the critics that his talents as an actor amount to very much.

But what happened to Alex Winter, who played Bill S. Preston to Reeves’s Ted? Sadly, the answer is, not much, certainly not in comparison with his erstwhile co-star, which in part explains how he has come to write a Foreword for the comic book ‘Bill and Ted’s Most Triumphant Return’. And a very good Foreword it is, as is the book as a whole, managing to honour its filmic roots whilst mostly working in its own right, although readers will really need to familiar with ‘Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey’ to process what’s going on as this story picks up where the film left off.

The artwork is bright and the text colourfully true to Bill and Ted’s (excellent not bogus) speech, although not always historically accurate (Billy the Kid was never a train robber). Still, Bill and Ted’s time travelling is fun, not least when claiming that Dr Who ripped off the idea of time travelling phone boxes, rather than vice versa.

This is, of course, a great time to bring out Bill and Ted material as the franchise is due to get a huge boost with Reeves and Winter due soon to reprise their original roles in a new movie scripted by Chris Matheson, the writer and director of the first two films.

It seems that ever since Laurel and Hardy every generation has wanted its own dumb and dumber double act but Generation X is particularly rich in this trope, boasting not only Bill and Ted but Wayne and Garth, Beavis and Butthead and Bart and Homer. As befits time travellers, Bill and Ted transcend the generations and although it certainly helps you don’t need to be a Generation Xer to enjoy ‘Bill and Ted’s Most Triumphant Return’.

This brought back the nostalgia of watching the movies as a kid. Great work here!
