Die Bände des neuen Teams sind deutlich besser als Uderzos Solo-Abenteuer, jedoch können auch sie nicht an den Witz eines Goscinny heranreichen.
In mancher Hinsicht hat sich Asterix aber auch einfach schon überlebt: die rassistischen Karikaturen z.B. (Baba, der dicklippige Afrikaner mit dem schweren Akzent) wirken wie aus der Zeit gefallen, und erzeugen heute eher Unwohlsein.
Aber Asterix bringt auch viel Nostalgie mit sich, und es freut mich, dass die Reihe weiterhin existiert. Wenn die Geschichten jetzt noch aufeinander aufbauen würden...

I liked this story even though I felt it was much less exciting than the last two Asterix stories. I especially appreciated that through this story they let the readers see one very common habit of ancient Romans: "adopting" the sons and daughters of defeated enemy leaders. I liked how the story gave more space to the young Gauls we don't see that much in other stories.

It's not a secret that the latest Asterix installments are inferior to the old ones and this story is no exception to that rule but it's always nice to see our beloved Gauls in new adventures.

As with all the Asterix books since passing of Goscinny and Uderzo, the standard is decent if not hitting the same heights, but as a wallow in nostalgia and a pleasant hour with a few chuckles and familiar characters, it's hard to not enjoy.

Guter solider Asterix, schöne Anspielungen auf die heutige Zeit, hätte man vielleicht sogar noch etwas weiter ausbauen können...
