Asterix Omnibus 1: Asterix The Gaul, Asterix and The Golden

An effort to make many of the European and Latin references more understandable for American readers has also been made. Several of the most interesting Asterix plots involve the Gauls temporarily teaming up with the Romans. The volumes of this reprint series have compared to earlier versions been redesigned with new covers as well as a new format dimensionwize, which is smaller than the previous editions at the american market. The Romans conspire with a Roman-friendly Gaulish village to declare a ritual winner-takes-all fight between village chiefs. The recent efforts from Jean-Yves Ferri and Didier Conrad are worthy – a rebound from Uderzo’s later albums, but not as strong as Goscinny’s best.Quaestor Vexatius Sinusitus is held hostage in the village while Asterix and Obelix seek out a potion ingredient in Switzerland. Asterix and Obelix accompany him back to Corsica, to unite the quarrelling tribes against the Romans. Among his plethora of work which kicked off in 1996, highlights include Le Steak haché de Damoclès (2005), La Bredoute (2007) and On est pas là pour réussir (2012).

In Asterix and Obelix's Birthday, the pair celebrate their 50th birthday with adventures around the world and well-wishes from friends including Edifis, Panacea and the pirates.

The scenes where the Gauls teach the reluctant gladiators the yes-no-black-white parlour game are highlights. The bureaucracy in the recruiting centre is amazing and, as with Asterix in Switzerland, the Gauls temporarily allying with the Romans creates an unpredictable plot. A blow from one of Obelix's menhirs causes Getafix to lose his memory, leaving the Gauls without magic potion.

A young business student attempts to corrupt the Gauls through greed – it’s fun to see the effects of the menhir boom ripple through the Roman empire. it tackles economics; it’s fun to see the Gauls thwart the Romans’ plans with magic acorns, then turn around and help the oppressed slaves with their magic potion. The taxman whose speech is in the form of official documents is an excellent minor character, and it’s lovely to finally see some good fortune for the pirates. Asterix the Gaul is limited in scope compared to later volumes, with all the action taking place in and around the Gaulish village, but it was deservedly an instant success.Hadn’t thought of them in years, not since a buddy in Montreal was a big fan (we left Montreal in 2001, so yeah it’s been a while). Sadly, the whole Asterix franchise has become a parody of itself, like an ageing rock group that doesn’t know when to quit; i’ll just stick with the brilliance and originality of the first 20 books. A stoic and composed prisoner is discovered, who reveals himself as Boneywasawarriorwayayix, a tribal leader from Corsica. The series is no longer written by Albert Uderzo, but rather by Jean-Yves Ferri and illustrated by Didier Conrad – the first time the story creation has been shared between two people since Goscinny's death in 1977.
