(translated by Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge)
Orion (2005) ISBN: 0752873016
Score: -2
Another solo Asterix graphic novel by Uderzo, in which the series unmistakably jumps the shark. Good (Disney style) aliens and bad (Japanese style) aliens bring their deadlocked war to ancient Gaul, each hoping to grab the secret of the magic potion to give their side an edge. Predictable events follow, and then the good alien erases everyone's memory (but not the reader's, unfortunately).
