Livingstone, Josephine (June 16, 2020). "Asterix Comes to America". The New Republic– via newrepublic.com. Caesar sends one of his advisors to the Gaulish village, in an effort to make them rich, decadent and utterly dependent on Rome. He starts by buying menhirs at ever-increasing prices, thus persuading most of the village to make useless menhirs, and in turn employing other villagers to hunt for their food. The plan goes awry when Caesar's treasury proves insufficient to fund the menhirs, and a campaign to sell them in Rome fails because of competition from Egyptian menhirs and slave-made Roman menhirs.A baby boy mysteriously turns up at Asterix's doorstep. No one in the village knows who he is, so Asterix is forced to be his adoptive father. Meanwhile, Roman legions led by Brutus are after the baby, who is actually Caesar's full-blooded son, Caesarion.

a b c Brigid Alverson and Calvin Reid (August 19, 2019). "Race and Representation: Relaunching Asterix in America". Publishers Weekly. When an unnamed baby is left outside Asterix’s hut, rumours fly about its parentage and Asterix sets off on a quest to return it to its parents. It’s one of the most eventful books in the series – the baby drinks the magic potion! the Gaulish village burns down! – and it’s also the last worthwhile Uderzo effort. Terry Nantier, publisher of Papercutz, is of the opinion that the new americanized translation of the works will help to attract new readers, especially younger ones.

Therefore the artwork has at large but not at whole been untouched by american editing for this Omnibus series.

Chief Vitalstatistix takes the spotlight in the 11th Asterix adventure. When he’s sent to Averne spas for a health cure, Asterix and Obelix are caught up in a search for the shield of Vercingetorix, a conquered Gaulish chieftain. It’s a fun mystery, and the recurring gag where the Roman soldiers search through coal cellars is especially enjoyable.Julius Caesar dispatches a contentious individual named Tortuous Convolvulus to spread discord in the Gaulish village. Convolvulus is a fascinating adversary, smoothly creating enmity wherever he goes (represented by green speech bubbles). Vitalstatistix’s wife Impedimenta is great here, pointing out that if the village is chronicled, “they won’t be calling it the Adventures of Vitalstatistix the Gaul”. The Romans conspire with a Roman-friendly Gaulish village to declare a ritual winner-takes-all fight between village chiefs. A blow from one of Obelix's menhirs causes Getafix to lose his memory, leaving the Gauls without magic potion. The fight parodies professional boxing. To participate in the Olympic Games in Greece, the Gauls register themselves as Romans. When the officials declare the magic potion to be a form of illegal doping, Asterix turns to his native abilities to compete. Chariot Race is another solid Ferri and Conrad effort than recaptures the elegant simplicity of classic Asterix adventures. Naming a rival chariot driver “Coronavirus” was scarily prescient. It’s also noteworthy as the first Asterix book not translated into English by Anthea Bell. In which Asterix, Obelix, and Cacofonix travel to India on a magic carpet. It was fast-moving enough to entertain me as a kid, but in hindsight it marks the start of an era where Uderzo is out of new ideas for stories and relies on novelty to drive the series.
