Very good (0/0 people found this helpful)
Another solid outing for our heroes. It starts with Chief Vitalstatistix going on a painful visit to the home of his successful brother-in-law in the city. This leads to the premise which is a bit thin - getting hold of Caesars wreath for seasoning a meal. It means a mission for Asterix and Obelix in Rome where there are some hilarious moments at the slave auction and in the Roman household. On top of that great drawings and colours as usual.
Top ten adventure (1/2 people found this helpful)
A rather thin idea for a story leads to entertaining capers in the streets and taverns of Rome. Enjoyable little adventure.
Getting up Caesar's nose (7/7 people found this helpful)
This is the small, compact version of the Asterix 'graphic novel' - it'll fit in a large pocket. Our eponymous hero continues his persecution of the Roman Empire - this time appearing in the Coliseum. If you are a fan, this is up to the normal high standards of graphic humour. If you are new to Asterix, the fantasy and imagery are well worth exploration - one of the charms of the comic genre is the fact that you can revisit it, again and again, and spot things you've missed, rediscovered things you've forgotten. This is artistry of the highest quality.
