Asterix is this little character who introduced me to the comic, I read with my father before going to bed.
Suffice to say that the relationship between me strong memories and feelings.
But turn to this album.
It does not derogate from the rules later editions: the format is the same, paper and matt colors, as usual.
The price is very reasonable especially when compared to current productions that reach too often ... 14
It remains in the classic registry "Asterix in ..."
One feels from the publisher that he did not take any risks on the theme chosen.
On the first page there are two little words of "rights holders" who are obviously proud to have gone out to these new designers.
Given the weight and pressure they have had to create this final volume, they should not be mistaken.
The design remains completely in the direction and the feature of the original ones, even if it lacks a bit of "finishing" in the backgrounds (especially the characters).
Our favorite heroes are quite recognizable. No "rupture" in graph style or cutting.
It is in a comic Asterix and it shows!
For the record, I'm a little puzzled.
This is only a feeling (and therefore not objective !!).
In two components: Discovery of the Village Gaulois and Pictish Discovery of the Pictish Village Gaulois.
It is entitled:
- In the classic Pirates ...
- To the Romans
- A history of love
- In the Machiavellian villain
- In the Gauloises differences between customs and Picts.
Just sometimes get lost in the explanations on the history, we feel that they wanted to reach a more adult audience (much like cartoons Pixar & Consort) while keeping the child readership.
The big difference is, but not always the best.
To my taste the imbalance between the first part of the history and the second is too big.
As I personally would have preferred a little more "discovery pictoise".
All this is forgiven launched by tree trunks Obelix!
The first Asterix component without its native dads, including its new guardians must impose their grip a little.
A lack of risk that is felt throughout the course of this book.
I pray that the following is open and full of surprises.
Good start it will materialize in the next adventures of our intrepid rebellious Gauls!
Good reading to one and all!
