Praise For…
"This is dead solid, old-school comics-making used to its best effect. Resolutely fixed panel borders and battle sequences punctuated by occasional close-ups draw eyes relentlessly along the page. The exaggerated cartooning is all big emotions and outsize action, accentuated by bright, popping colors. The steadfast characters have recognizable personalities delivered in quick, broad strokes ....Young readers who haven’t met Asterix will find him both entertainingly new and welcomingly familiar."
