New Asterix in October

The 33rd Asterix book is now listed at Amazon.fr with a release date of October 14th. The last couple of books have been decidedly low-par (the series never really did survive the death of René Goscinny), but the artwork is almost always great, and a new Asterix book is such a rarity that it's always cause for a celebration, regardless of the actual quality of the story.

Coincidentally, the long-delayed DVD set featuring Asterix vs. Caesar, Asterix in Britain and Asterix and the Big Fight, is now listed, again at Amazon.fr, as coming out on the same day. It would certainly make sense for them to release both at the same time, so I'm going to cross my fingers and hope that it's actually going to finally see the light of day this time.

Update, 16:41: I pre-ordered the UK release of the book from Amazon.co.uk.
