    And that really only applies to the last maybe five books, with most recent Asterix and the Falling Sky being the nadir, and...

    Er, did anyone know there was a new one out this year?!

    Asterix and the Picts?!

    Right, next stop Amazon!

    Okay, hardcover due out October (gonna have to wait for the softcover, I literally don't have space for hardcovers), and by a new pair of chaps. Hmm. Well, it's a hard act to follow, but I'm definately willing to give them a shot. As it could mean a whole slew of more Asterix books (since the rate has dropped off drastically since the eighties and Goscinny died.) I was honestly not expecting to see any more after the lukewarm reception of the last one and given Uderzo is getting on a bit.

    Guess we'll see!
