I beleive that the previous comment was unfair. This Asterix comic contains all of the puns and other forms of cleaver humour that formally characterised the previous Asterix books. The plot-line isn't one of the best but they can't all be as brilliant as each other. I beleive that it is well worth the effort of buying abd that any true fan of Asterix will not be disappointed by this.
The latest in a series by an author long past his use-by date. Uderzo's writing was never a match for Goscinny's, but they get worse with time. I don't know whether this is a serious attempt at literature, or a money-spinner, or a means of filling in hours at the resthome.
The story is uninspiring, implausible, and lacks the sublety and wit which originally characterised the Asterix books. I have a feeling the drawing is gettng simpler too, although that may be confirmation bias on my part.
Buy it to technically complete your Asterix collection; buy one of the others to read.
