PIPELINECOMICS
European Comics.
North American Perspective.
Camille, a young mentally challenged woman, gives birth to a child, Lydie, who doesn’t make it. Two months later, she thinks the baby has come back, and now she’s going to raise the child with the help of the neighborhood.
“Asterix at the Olympic Games” is a fun Asterix movie, but not a great movie, overall. Caesar is awesome, his evil son is the star of the movie, and a half-baked romance is there to draw more people in. But there are plenty of Asterix moments that are great too see in live action.
The year is 1968. Mexico City is hosting the Olympics. And Rene Goscinny and Albert Uderzo send Asterix and Obelix to Greece for their Olympics. Can Gauls win without Magic Potion?
Sisco is a tense thriller that relies too much on convenient character actions and an out of control plot. It should be good, but it’s not.
This one is as much a history lesson as it is a review. I find this book fascinating for the way it weaves into the history of France. Gergovia, Alesia, Vercingeteorix, and the works!
Where does Asterix start? Before the beginning! Let’s go back a couple years before the events in the book and see how Julius Caesar rampaged through Europe, and how Vercingetorix inspired both the Gauls and Goscinny and Uderzo.
Which book is the best of the first ten volumes in the “Asterix” series? The answer probably won’t surprise you, if you’ve read my reviews. But it’s fun to look back at them all one more time!
Geoff Johns and Butch Guice send a team back into a mythological time filled with wonder and killer creatures. The humans aren’t much better.
Trondheim, Zep, and Bertail bring us a retro sci-fi story in the style of the old Heavy Metal serials. Big bold graphics and pulpy sci fi fun!
Gildas and Martina know who they are, but now they have to run for their lives from an alien invader. Along the way, they make a few new friends. It’s quite the romp.
