Terminé, je n'achèterai plus les nouveaux Astérix qui paraîtront, ou pas, dans le futur. Celui-ci est une pitoyable diatribe contre les manga, juste pour le plaisir de critiquer quelque chose qu'à l'évidence (différence de génération?) l'auteur ne comprend pas, et n'essaie même pas de comprendre d'ailleurs. Tant pis, il en reste des anciens que je n'ai pas encore lus, ça compensera! This is the second newest Asterix comic to be released (published in 2005) and quite honestly it does not compare to the earlier Asterix comics. In this comic Asterix's village is invade by two different alien species. Both are looking for the secret weapon (the Gaul's magic potion) that the Gauls use to defeat the Romans. The first alien, the Tadsilweny, works with the Gauls to try and obtain the secret weapon; while the second alien, the Nagmas, tries (unsuccessful) to steal it away. While the plot of the story can be followed, at times the story seems to be disjointed and the humour that one expects from an Asterix comic is not as abundant as usually. Also the ending seems to be rather drawn out; the battle is won against the Nagmas and the magic potion save but the comic continues for another ten pages as though the author had forget a part of the story and just decided to tack it on at the end. Belongs to SeriesAsterix (33) Awards
The Gauls have only one fear: that the sky may fall on their heads tomorrow. But tomorrow never comes, says Chief Vitalstatistix. Or does it? It looks as if it's come at last for Asterix, Obelix and the other villagers. And some surprising new characters fall along with the sky. Our friends soon find themselves in the middle of a space race... No library descriptions found. |

This is pure, distilled Uderzo, whimsical, fantastical and of course, down right silly, perfectly fitting for his last Asterix album. So long, Uderzo - you, along with your great friend, Goscinny, have entertained (and even educated) me as long as I've been reading independently and will no doubt bring me much fun in the future, too, even though there will be no new stories from you. The existing ones still delight every time. I hope your successors can retain the spirit of the little village on the coast of Armorica back in 50 B.C. as they bring us new adventures of Asterix and Obelix. I'll find out soon enough. ( )
