The 38th adventure of the famous Gauls duo, Asterix and Obelix, is coming soon. This new album, The daughter of Vercingetorix , will be released on October 24th. Adrenaline, a rebellious teenager with Greta Thunberg's fake tunes, will be in the spotlight.
Asterix and Obelix to the rescue of Adrenaline
The secrets of the scenario are well kept, but we already know the contours of the plot. The action of the new album is a few years after the defeat of Alesia. A secret network of Arvernes grouped within the Farc ("Front Arverne de Résistanche checrète"!) Continue the fight against the Romans. These "resisters" watch over the chief's daughter and her "torque", an honorary necklace she received as an inheritance from her illustrious father. Two envoys from FARC, Monolitix and Ipocalorix (who look like de Gaulle and Churchill), come to protect Adrenaline in the village of Asterix and Obelix. But a character sent by Caesar is ready to do anything to attack her.
