4.0

Non-heinous collection that fans of the movie trilogy will best appreciate.

The volume begins with the comic book adaptation of Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey and continues with the short-lived comic book series. At first glance the art is obnoxious but, once you get used to the style, it clearly captures the fun chaotic vibe of the movies. Now that the movies are a trilogy, some things in the volume do not fit into the continuity, although this does not render the volume bogus. Of particular note, the Grim Reaper in the comic is portrayed as more of a skeleton.

If you are already a fan of the movies but have yet to experience the comics, I wouldn't go so far as to say that this is a must-have for every fan of the films -- but it is worth checking out in case you decide it is most excellent for you.
