  Asterix and Cleopatra will always be my favorite Asterix tale ever told (long story, see previous Retro Reviews), but I think Asterix and the Goths is now tied with Asterix and the Golden Sickle as my second favorite book in the series. There's a solid story, with great art, characters that we love, and of course the pun filled humor that is expected from any Asterix book. Asterix and the Goths can be picked up as a stand alone book, or as part of the Asterix Omnibus Volume 1. I suggest picking it up in the multi-story volume form, as you'll be able to enjoy three stories that give you the set-up of the world, and then two chapters tied together for a great Asterix experience. If you want to read something different and you haven't experienced comics from Europe, Asterix is a great place to start. I'm giving Asterix and the Goths 4.5 out of 5 Stars. Read Full Review
