it looks like Mr. Uderzo will continue the Asterix series beyond the Falling Sky volume.

Also, just a gut feeling, Falling Sky was most likely a one-off and he will probably return to making fun of modern culture using the 1 BC setting without any more aliens.

Well I don’t know if it’s in reaction to the rising popularity of manga… But Asterix and the falling sky is bad. BAD. AWFUL. The worst Asterix, ever, and it’ll be hard to do something worse (Actually, I hope Uderzo will stay far, faaaaaaaar away from Asterix and prevent beating his own series to a pulp again)

Urgh. No more reaction to the rising popularity of manga. Please.
