This is easily my favorite moment in Asterix and the Griffin (2021), set in ancient Sarmatia. Many seem to agree that the book is probably the best of the recent albums, and maybe even one of the best non-Goscinny albums of all.

Hopefully Ferri will continue to loosen the reigns a bit and try some new concepts out (like Asterix having to make do without potion), because it seems to me that the standard Asterix adventure-mechanics got a bit stale over time.

Side note: Can you identify the counterparts to all six (or is it seven) villagers?
