Nicht so gut wie die klassischen Bände, aber auch weniger schlimm als befürchtet

I haven't read Asterix since I was a teenager, and my memory may be foggy, but this just didn't seem to hold up to the quality of the old books.

First up, I have the Scotts version so the story is slightly hampered by the language barrier. Having said that, reading this in Scotts with the Gauls in Caledonia gave it an authentic feel - even if the depiction of the Picts isn't historically accurate (but then when has the Asterix books worried about that?). A lot of fun.
These books are full of bright, fun and delightful characters who go on various adventures and get to beat up a bunch of Roman soldiers. Accompanying the story and the characters is a plethora of clever puns and word play that the translators should get a medal for. There are always a few gags or phrases in Latin that may mean nothing to the non-Latin speakers (such as myself) but Google can lend a helping hand there.

No worries about the future of Asterix: this latest Asterix album is well done, funny and respects the legacy set by Uderzo and Goscinny. The new artist, Didier Conrad, hasn't changed anything, and the text sounds familiar as well. The story is funny and pretty much what you'd expect from an Asterix album.
