I've never read the comic but seen its characters before. The characters are Gaulish barbarian I think. Rome is trying to invade China. These guys get involved somehow

Asterix is great

Is it really not a thing in the US? Here as well as the regular German translations, they also have one-offs in various regional dialects etc

OK, the fact that it's live action makes me less excited

I have never seen it in book stores or in newspapers. I only know of it because of the internet

Huh

Basically, the premise is that the Roman empire has taken over all of Gaul except a single Celtic settlement. This settlement is home to Asterix, general hero-type, and his loyal, slightly dim-witted friend Obelix

Nope. I've had more exposure to the GBA game than the comic.

Grew up with it but tbf my maternal Grandmother was half Canadian/half French so she got some of the books/anthologies? For my Uncle which I then read whenever I visited my maternal Grandparents.
