US Papercutz translation is kind of bad. The jokes don't translate.

Everything is well in our village of superpowered Gauls. Too well. This has caused Caesar to face criticism for not being able to take care of his conquered lands. No one insults Caesar and lives to tell about it. So he tasks an agent to travel to the village and sow discord amidst the Gaul, adopting the ye old 'Divide and Conquer', strategy.
-------
Careful Caesar, if you piss of Brutus too much, things might turn...drastic.
-------
Tortuous Convolvulus, the agent that is sent, does with words what Cacophanix does with his songs.
With half truths, misdirection and subterfuge, he manages to discredit Asterix and Getafix, and split the village making them ripe for the taking. How will our heroes deal with this civil unrest? Find out in this week's As-te-rix!
-------
You know, I was sort of disappointed in the story. With how things were going I was expecting an epic confrontation between Cacophanix and Convolvulus, the two forces of nature on either side. More so, when it ended in the same Gaul bashing Roman sort of way. But hey, at least we got some sweet, sweet war legends. I'm pretty sure I had a village like that in some online strategy game.
Also, Holy fourth wall breaking, Impedima!
There is a lot of confusion which is spurned by the aptly named Convolvulus' winding schemes, which end up putting his own side as well as the Gauls in chaos. But all resolves well after an epic battle, and a good sprinkling of magic potion. 4 out of 5
