On its Facebook page today, BOOM! Studios posted an image teasing their latest licensed property to be turned into a comic book. The image (as you can see above)is a logo for the (fictional) band "Wyld Stallyns," that Bill S. Preston, Esq. and Ted "Theodore" Logan formed in the late 80s films. It would appear that the less than dynamic duo are getting their very own comic series.
The original "Bill & Ted" films centered on Bill Preston (Alex Winter) and Ted Logan (Keanu Reeves), a couple of teenage morons who travel through time to complete a history report... a report they need to ace in order to launch Wyld Stallions to the top of the charts, therefore spreading the message "Be excellent to each other" and guiding the planet into a utopian era.
A sequel, "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" saw the pair escape from Hell after being killed by their robot doubles. Not long ago, the film's writers Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon, along with the original actors Winter and Reeves, have acknowledged that a third film focusing on the duo as 40-somethings is in development.
"Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" has seen life in comic form previously. In the early '90s, Marvel Comics published a 12 issue maxi-series that was written and drawn by Evan Dorkin. The series picked up Bill and Ted's saga from the conclusion of "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey."
Stay tuned for more on this new comic series as it develops. Thanks to Bleeding Cool for the heads up.
