Asterix The Ultimate Collection Hachette Partwork test

[tomwe]

Hachette now dipping their toes into BD territory!

I'd say, since they're testing what I assume to be a new licence (ie not Marvel/Warhammer/Rebellion) it's a sure fire go-er come January.

Plusses: they've managed once again to find a series that I loved as a kid and would really like to have a complete set of. And… names on spines!

Minusses: the books appear to be in the wrong order! And, no idea the size of the books. Although I read plenty of the smaller reprints as a kid Asterix should really be full album size.

What sort of order is that?!?

Also yeah the actual size will be the decider there I think!!

[The Doctor]

If these are HC's at the proper European album size I am a shoe-in for the run as I have long desired such a set. If they are at the wrong size they are abominations from Hell which should not exist!!!

SAFE. I already have a hardback Asterix collection. In fact if these are standard £9.99 Hachette books, then it'd be cheaper just to buy the Orion Books ones instead.

Omnibus editions much better value, despite the promise of extra content.

Halve the price and I'd probably bite.
