I like the part when Asterix and Getafix fooled the Roman with magical poison that made all of their hair grow non-stop.



FINISHED
I have finished the story, I have read only one title of comics in this week. In my opinion, the comic entitled Asterix The Gaul is quite fun, because the storyline is unpredictable and the picture are very helpful to make the story more alive. Although, there are many unknown words for me that makes me to understand the story slowly.

UNFORGETABLE SCENE
 
It is when the Romans’ hair, moustache and bread grow non-stop because of the poison given by Getaffix.
The story makes me laugh because it something cunning to defeat the Romans without their superhuman strength and it also unpredictable scene.

Grade for this comic is average.
Reasons:
Because I have read a better comic than this, so I have my own standard for a good comic. Unfortunately, this comic is below my standard for a good comic.

Thanks for reading :)
