So apparently, in addition to the traditional Bill & Ted Day (of Excellent Adventure fame), there's a comic book, Bill & Ted Roll the Dice, coming out next week.
The reason the cover of issue #1 looks most triumphant (and familiar) falls in this quote from the original Gizmodo announcement:
“For the first storyline, we wanted something that hadn’t been done in the comics before, that was a fit for the era yet still relevant today, and that had—as with all things Opus—a strong musical connection,” he said, “During those years, I spent many hours playing tabletop RPGs, and D&D has never been more popular than today. The ‘80s also spawned the Satanic Panic, when parents and religious groups railed against those games, and heavy metal music, of course.”
The biggest fact from the comic series that totally me is the fact that this mini-series (and any other series produced by Opus will be totally canon, and will take place during the 16 months after Bogus Journey where Future Bill & Ted got "awesome from practice."
