Volume collects the first three volumes of the long running series. If you wonder how it all started, this is a good place to start. A nice collection with good humor for all ages.

In this one, Asterix and Obelix are after money and get into several funny scraps.
Entertaining, predictable and funny as always.

Thank you, NetGalley and Papercutz, for a complimentary copy of this graphic novel!!!
I used to read these comics in Germany back when I was a kid. I devoured every one of them and had high expectations when I started reading this English version. Honestly, they did a fantastic job turning the names of the characters with puns (that can only be understood if you speak the language in which you are reading the comic) into English characters with puns. While I was sad not to see the familiar names (e.g., of the druid), I laughed a lot when I read the English version of the names.
So, here is my overall opinion of this comic...GOOOOOOO and reading it NOW!!! If you love comics, you will love this one! Asterix and Obelix are two of the greatest comic heroes in the world!
Now I really want to go and read the author's Lucky Luke comics in English to see if they are just as great!

As a kid I used to watch Asterix and Oblix cartoons every weekend at my grandparents. This was just like stepping back into my childhood. The preview copy I recieved only had the first chapter of the Omnibus. It was the story of a Roman trying to infiltrate the Gaul village to learn why they are able to resist the Roman army. It is funny, I cannot wait to get my hands on the entire Omnibus.

It's amazing that in a comic book for children, you can find quite an intersting debate about tax structure!

I remember Asterix comics from high school French class. Trying to translate/understand them felt more like a punishment though. I encountered them again during a trip to Brussels where I visited the Belgian Comic Strip Center and the MOOF Museum. Thanks to Papercutz for the ARC I finally got around to reading and enjoying these stories. I really enjoyed the rich humor in this collection, and there is so much to take in with the art work. I've truly become a fan of this series and plan to continue reading these new translations.

Asterix & Obelix är en stor del av min barndom, så jag är inte det minsta objektiv i hur mycket jag gillar de här serierna nu - men, när är jag egentligen det? Hur som helst en rolig serie men som naturligtvis åldrats en del!
