I don't think I could ever fully forgive him for continuing the series after Goscinny's passing. While a handful may have been good (I like "L'Odyssée d'Astérix" a lot) most of them were average/bad. That being said, as an absolute fan since I was 7 years old, this makes me very sad.
- Tarsul 7y agoregarding going on after Goscinny's death, i just now read this passage in "The Complete Guide to Asterix" (p.21): "Following the death of his working partner of the last twenty-six years, Albert Uderzo did not have th eheart to complete Asterix in Belgium. Dargaud [publishing partner] responded by taking him to court and forcing him to draw the book. Uderzo had no choice. He completed the album, but appealed against the court's decision. Ironically, the appeal court found in his favour - but by then the books were already in the shops." I think we can forgive him (even for the books that followed).
- dudul 7y ago"Asterix chez les Belges" is actually quite good. And while this is an interesting anecdote, it doesn't explain why he kept going after that. I'm sorry, I can't forgive introducing aliens into an Asterix story :)
- em-bee 7y agothat is probably the worst story of the lot. before i didn't think anyone else could continue the work on asterix. but if the new authors realize that the best way to win over the readers is by listening to them, then they will have a chance
