Asterix Omnibus #1: Collects Asterix the Gaul, Asterix and the Golden Sickle, and Asterix and the Goths by René Goscinny
5.0
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!
