As a massive doglover, I really liked to read more about the dog of Asterix and Obelix. I loved the short stories and that it was mostly about all the dogs in the stories. I enjoyed reading it.
A fun spin-off from the much loved Asterix, this volume of dogmatix and the indomitables is a collection of three comic strips. We follow Dogmatix and his furry and feathered friends as they aid the characters of Asterix in their fight against the Romans.
For those who grew up with Asterix and Obelix this is a trip down memory lane.
Thank you to NetGalley and Papercutz for this arc.
Thank you Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book. These opinions are completely my own.
I grew up on Astrix, so I was very excited to see this spinoff. It did not disappoint me. I love that the illustrations were not modernized and felt like my childhood.
An entire book focused on Dogmatix, sign me up! I mean what isn't there to like. It was cute and a lot of fun. A must for any Asterix and Oblix fan.

Three delightful short stories about Dogmatix and his animal friends. Set in the world of Asterix, I wondered why Dogmatix was not with his human friends, and why he's in Lutetia (ancient Paris) and not in the village where we got to know him.
This has two answers:
1. Who cares?
2. It's said in an afterword that this is a prequel<\i> to the Asterix books. One may look forward to an epic and emotional first meeting. This happens in Asterix and the Banquet.
Little kids can enjoy this book and learn some history, or even start reading like I did some years ago with an Asterix book. Parents can do worse than using this as an introduction to reading and comics.
Thanks to Netgalley and Papercutz for providing an ARC.
Thank you to NetGalley and Papercutz for the eARC in exchange for an honest review. I am grateful for the opportunity to read this graphic novel.
Having grown up with Astrix books, I was so excited to get accepted for this novel, especially since dogmatrix really does make me think back to the old days when I didn't have to have a job or having to do ALL the chores.
It was a great read, not much of a plot, but Astrix never had much of one either.
Fantastic read. Thank you!
Thanks to Papercutz and NetGalley for this eARC. It contains delightful stories for young readers. I had hoped it would include a secondary layer of content that appeals to adults, similar to the actual Asterix series.
As a long time fan of Astrix, this new series focusing on his dog dogmatix was very enjoyable. The escapades of his gang of indomitables are fun and exciting and follow in the style of Astrix and his good friend Oblix. I would recommend this book to any fan of the original series.
I received an advanced copy of this book by netgalley. Opinions are my own.
This is a fun book to read, great for young kids. It follows a group of dogs, a cat and a bird. They are in the Roman times and are always going on adventure and trying to our smart the Roman dogs. Very cute and fun to read.
This felt like a real visit to the world of Asterix, except with cute animals instead. I'm so happy I got to see this, because the illustrations and language were the same style I've loved for so long. The characters even have the same over the top hilarity, although the plots are simpler. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this. I'm excited for the release date so I can add the paper copy to my Asterix collection
ARC Copy...Surprised and liked the fact the art style is still like the old comics despite being a modern-new story. Even although Asterix is not the focus; still liked the adventures of Dogmatix and company in "ancient Paris", a faster paced setting then the tiny Gaulish village. In addition it was nice to see cameos and returns of characters from the original Asterix series.
This is a very cute graphic novel about a group of dogs who are trying to resist the Roman empire in Gaul. The names and puns can be entertaining enough for adults, and the fun storylines are great for children. This series is a spinoff of the Asterix graphic novels, and fans will enjoy little references, but everyone can enjoy this book whether they've read Asterix or not.
Thank you to Netgalley and to Papercutz for the chance to read this book in exchange for a review. All my opinions are my own.
