Gallien, år 50 før Kristus
De fire romerske udposter Aquarium, Solarium, Terrarium og Perikum bliver skånet denne gang. På en lille jagttur opdager Asterix og Obelix at alle vildsvinene er helt stive, som var de frosne. Vel tilbage i landsbyen opdager de at smeden Armamix, fiskehandleren
Dog har hunden Idefix, druiden Miraculix, Asterix og Obelix undgået det, hvilket naturligvis skyldes trylledrikken.
En stor kugle med nogle væsener fra Tadsylwine (= WaltDisney), som ligner Mickey Mouse og en swartzenegger/superman klon lander og afslører at den er skyld i symptomerne. Da det er opklaret, dukker en stor raket op med en Nagma (= Manga), som ligner en græshoppe.
Nagma og Tadsylwine giver sig til at slås med hinanden og Nagma slås med Obelix, hvilket selvfølgelig er usundt.
Som modsvar til superman klonerne har Nagma nogle cyberats. Miraculix brygger trylledrik, men den virker ikke på Nagma, som i stedet kidnapper Miraculix. Det bliver forpurret og den lille violette Mickey Mouse fyr fra Tadsylwine kommer med til festbanketten.
Romerne angriber og den violette fyr bliver pustet op som en ballon, da han smager trylledrik.
Miraculix kurerer det endda så han får sin farve igen. Han tager væk idet han sørger for at gallerne ikke kan huske noget af det.
Det ender med en festbanket og denne gang er det Armamix og Hørmetix, der står bundet til træet.
Ikke nogen ret god historie. Og plottet er helt elendigt.

Description
The Gauls have only one fear: that the sky may fall on their heads tomorrow. But tomorrow never comes, says Chief Vitalstatistix. Or does it? It looks as if it's come at last for Asterix, Obelix and the other villagers. And some surprising new characters fall along with the sky. Our friends soon find themselves in the middle of a space race...

After every new Asterix episode, Albert Uderzo swears it's his last, he is tired of it, he can't think of new stories anymore, he's had enough trying to bring great art to an unappreciative world (he said once) — and a few years later you see a new book out, and sure enough it is nowhere near
Two conflicting aliens drop down on the Gaulish village in search of a super-weapon (the magic potion), they both try to gain it (the cute Witsledyan by negotiation, the Nagma by force rendered ineffective by his own ineptitude, and I will not award bonus points for figuring out what their names are anagrams of), and lots of hilarity should ensue but doesn't, despite Uderzo's frenetic attempts. I get the impression that Uderzo has no idea of where the story is taking him or what he's supposed to do when he gets there, and the only reason the plot holes are rather small is that there isn't much of a plot to start with. At least the artwork is slightly better than in Astérix et Latraviata.
As I didn't expect much from Le ciel lui tombe sur la tête, I am not as disappointed as I could have been. The only thing I am slightly angry about is that most Internet bookstores unfairly list René Goscinny as the author, which is almost an insult to a man who has been dead for over 30 years and can't defend himself. I only have these words of advice: Albert, the next time you say you're going to retire, please keep your word and stop wrecking the good reputation you once deserved.

what he did with Goscinny's scripts. Still, I ask myself whether this is not the worst of the lot. Where his solo efforts (which, come to think of it, span more than half of Asterix' lifetime!) have previously been bland but rather nice (L'Odyssée d'Astérix) to bland and boring (Astérix et Latraviata), this is almost offensively bad. There's no trace of the humour and satire that made Le Devin and Obélix & Compagnie so delicious; instead we get a cute little alien inspired by (close to plagiarised from) Disney, a brigade of "superclones" that look like Superman with Zippy the Pinhead's cranium, a mean and ugly (and borderline racist caricature) manga-inspired alien who isn't smart enough to be truly evil, and his battle robots. Add stupid roman legionaries who don't get anything amusingly stupid to do, and two panels' worth of pirates (if they know that the Gauls live there, as they should know by now, why don't they make a huge detour around that part of the coast?).Two conflicting aliens drop down on the Gaulish village in search of a super-weapon (the magic potion), they both try to gain it (the cute Witsledyan by negotiation, the Nagma by force rendered ineffective by his own ineptitude, and I will not award bonus points for figuring out what their names are anagrams of), and lots of hilarity should ensue but doesn't, despite Uderzo's frenetic attempts.

This is by far the worst Asterix published. It is so bad, many comic book dealers explicitly do not recommend it. If you can choose, buy one of the early Asterix books. This one is only interesting for those geeks that want to collect everything.

This is the second newest Asterix comic to be released (published in 2005) and quite honestly it does not compare to the earlier Asterix comics.

use to defeat the Romans. The first alien, the Tadsilweny, works with the Gauls to try and obtain the secret weapon; while the second alien, the Nagmas, tries (unsuccessful) to steal it away. While the plot of the story can be followed, at times the story seems to be disjointed and the humour that one expects from an Asterix comic is not as abundant as usually. Also the ending seems to be rather drawn out; the battle is won against the Nagmas and the magic potion save but the comic continues for another ten pages as though the author had forget a part of the story and just decided to tack it on at the end.

ah. The weakest of the Asterix comics. They started earlier to integrate figures from different times (Atlantis, Herring) but this is even further away.
