Writer: Brian Joines
Artist: Bachan
$3.99
What’s to Love: It’s time again to be excellent to each other! We showed just how much we love Bill & Ted with 2015’s Bill & Ted’s Most Triumphant Return, and since 2016 is the 25th anniversary of Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, why not celebrate with a new mini-series that sends the lovable duo to Hell? Plus, all Subscription covers in this mini-series will feature a unique Wyld Stallyns album cover created by some of the industry’s top talents!
What It Is: Bill & Ted are back for a brand-new miniseries, this time with the Imagine Agents team of Brian Joines and Bachan at the helm. It’s time to get the band back together! Bill & Ted and the Princesses will have to reunite with some historic friends to knock down the Devil’s door and get their friend Death back. With the help of Rufus, Billy the Kid, Joan of Arc, and more, this is the showdown that will rock the supernatural world. History vs. Hell. Too bad Hell has some surprises up its sleeve”¦
New series! And it will be an adventure that ties both of their movies together, too. What’s not to love?
Big Trouble in Little China #21
Writer: Fred Van Lente
Artist: Victor Santos
$3.99
Final arc! After an unfortunate misfire, Egg’s magic sends Jack Burton and Winona traveling back through time to where it all began: San Francisco 1848″¦the year Chinatown formed.
This looks like it’s the last storyline for Jack Burton. Have you been keeping up? If you have, then you are probably like me and read it in that John Wayne-esque voice that Kurt Russel had in the film.
Bill & Ted’s Most Triumphant Return Vol. 1 TP
Writer: Brian Lynch
Artist: Jerry Gaylord
$19.99
What’s to Love: Just in time for the 25th anniversary of Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, we’re returning readers to one of our favorite””and most excellent””cult-classic properties with a new Bill & Ted adventure of epic proportions. Brian Lynch (Minions screenwriter, Angel: After the Fall) and Jerry Gaylord (Fanboys vs. Zombies) bring you all the silly humor and likable characters mixed with some cool historical science fiction you love!

As the world waits for the Wyld Stallyns to unite the world with their music, Bill & Ted have to figure out how to live up to such expectations. They’ve only written one song! Going on an adventure spanning all time and worlds, Bill & Ted will have to find their muse in a young Chuck De Nomolos””Wyld Stallyns’ biggest critic, and the very same villain who grows up and kills them in his future. Can they “Rufus” this young villain, or is fate truly set in stone? Collects the complete four-issue mini-series and features an Introduction written by Alex Winter, who played Bill in the films!
25th Anniversary? I cannot believe it’s been that long! This collection is great if you missed the monthlies or if you just want it in a better binding. Your kids will want to read this. Of course, I’m working under the assumption that you’ll introduce them to the movies like all the rest of us did.

This is the beginning of the end for Detroit.

Uber-violent, deadly, unyielding. Yeah, that pretty much sums RoboCop up in this comic.

Hannah Christenson (Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard) presents “Albina,” the gender-swapped retelling of the Russian folktale wherein a legendary warrior and her servant face the three-headed dragon Tugarin Zmey.

If you aren’t reading this, you’re letting yourself down. You need to find them all and read them. It seems a cutesy, but it’s exceptional on every level.
