It was released on October 14, 2005 to commercial success, but was panned by the critics.[3] This was the final volume produced by Uderzo before his handing over of the series to a new creative team.[4] Plot summaryAn alien spaceship appears above the Gaulish village, causing nearly all of the people and animals to turn rigid. Only Asterix, Obelix, Getafix and Dogmatix are unaffected due to consumption of the magic potion. An alien named Toon emerges from the spherical spaceship. He is from the planet Tadsilweny and is accompanied by "superclone" security men.[5] Toon turns off his ship's "anti-collision magnetic field", ending the paralysis of the village. He informs the Gauls he is on a mission to confiscate their "secret weapon" (Getafix's potion) that is "known throughout the universe", in order to prevent it from being seized by evil aliens called Nagmas. Meanwhile, a Nagma has landed his spaceship in the nearby Roman camp of Compendium and seeks the "powerful deadly weapon". The Roman centurion Polyanthus gives him directions to the Gaulish village. Toon's army of superclones and the Nagma's "cyberat" robot warriors engage in battle. Asterix and Obelix enter the fray, and the Nagma attempts to abduct Getafix. The Nagma is eventually defeated, and Toon abandons his quest for the magic potion as its only discernible effect on the aliens is to cause them to temporarily increase to an enormous size. As he departs, Toon erases all memory of his visit from the village and the Roman camp. ReceptionFalling Sky was a commercial success, but a critical disappointment. Ian Rankin, writing for the Guardian, described this Asterix volume as appearing to 'jump the shark' and 'not a success' which possibly led to the 8 year hiatus during which author Uderzo handed over writing duties to a new team.[6] St Mag called it a 'disappointment' with 'more dissatisfactions in the book than anything else'.[7] Roy Boyd from Sling's and Arrows called it a 'confused and pointless tale'.[8] Splinter describes it as 'polarising', and 'the strangest Asterix story' that most deviates from the classic feel of the series, whilst acknowledging the influences that led Uderzo into introducing such foreign elements into the comic.[9] There were some favourable reviews, including from Wales Online who acknowledged that 'purists will probably be horrified', but states that the story contains all the classic elements of an Asterix adventure.[10] Notes
