Asterix and the Chariot Race

New Asterix is out, and its a return to greatness!

gonna story time this or what?

Scan when?

Man this went completely under my radar. I'm not European but even so, shouldn't comic news sites be reporting it?

Just buy it

>New Asterix is out, and its a return to greatness!

the series already returned to greatness in the last 2 or 3 albums, basically when Uderzo stopped writing it.

This, not up to Goscinny quality mind up, but a massive jump from The Falling Sky.

>new
Quoi the fuck?

35 and 36 were good but not great.

That doesn't say much though

Nice. Now I know what to give my dad for Christmas

If it's not Marvel or DC, most sites don't care. Especially since Asterix isn't popular in the states.

Does it have aliens?

At first I was :
>qu'est-ce que c'est que ces conneries ?
But then I saw
>Written by Jean-Yves Ferri, Illustrated by Didier Conrad

I'm not even going to bother reading it.

I bet european comic sites posted about it.
Why are americans so obsessed with Marvel and DC anyway?

It's all they know and all they'll ever know.
To them European comics is just occasional illustrated child porn because that's all they care about seeing.

Here in Germany one of the largest chanels just showed it in 18:00 news.
Feels good.

It's featured on Tagesschau, too.
But 3SAT would rather show more about the work of the cultural office in some county in Brandenburg nobody ever heard of.
Eagleton's new book on culture looks interesting, though.

Tintin and Asterix childporn?
Silly plebs.
I 've never heard of Americans complaining about Donald Duck wearing no pants.

Just read it. Thousand times better than "Asterix and the Picts".

Conrad still needs a bit of practice drawing Cesar, but overall was a nice read.

>the preview ads hype the idea that Obelix is going to be the main hero of the story

Guess what happens.

I like how Asterix is the golden standard for Gaules
Might be a travesty but it's not THAT bad

Penfold, shush.

I find that the story has improved over these three new albums but the art has declined

> its a return to greatness!
BULL
SHIT

>Asterix
>porn
Nigga you gay

Wait, didn't they already have something like this? Where they make a tour of Europe/Gallia?

>Still watching television
Alter..

It was just Gaul. But it wasn't a race, it was just Asterix and Obelix doing a tour around Gaul collecting local foods because excuse plot. This is about a Chariot Race throughout Italy, meant to showcase how Ancient Italy was more than just Rome.

>Italy
>Gaul
Which one is it?

You shouldn't come here Hanz, your government can arrest you if they find out

The old one (known as Asterix and the Banquet in English) is about Gaul, this new one is about Italy.

Ah ok thank you
