Après la défaite des légionnaires romains du camp de Babaorum face à Obélix, César cherche - une fois de plus - le moyen de vaincre les Gaulois. Saugrenus, son jeune conseiller, lui propose de les affaiblir grâce à l''argent. Une fois arrivé en Gaule, Saugrenus se met à acheter tous les menhirs d''Obélix. Ce dernier, pour pouvoir répondre à la demande, est conduit à créer une véritable PME qui lui rapporte beaucoup de sesterces. Obélix devient alors de fait l''homme le plus puissant du village, ce qui ne va pas sans créer de vives tensions avec les autres habitants du village. Ces derniers, sur les conseils de Panoramix, se mettent alors à leur tour à faire des menhirs et à concurrencer Obélix. Les Gaulois sont effectivement occupés à autre chose qu''à faire la guerre aux Romains, mais le trésor de Rome qui paie les menhirs achetés aux Gaulois commence à s''épuiser. Malgré toutes les ressources publicitaires de Saugrenus, l''économie romaine risque de s''effondrer..

Asterix partant à leur poursuite, naviguera jusqu''en Atlantide pays de la jeunesse éternelle. Y trouvera-t-il l''antidote qui guérira son inséparable ami ?

Le jour de leur anniversaire, Asterix et Obélix ont la surprise d''avoir la visite de leurs mamans, mais aussi de Falbala...Ou du moins celle qui se fait passer pour Falbala, mais qui n''est autre que Latraviata célèbre tragédienne romaine envoyée en mission secrète dans le village gaulois par Pompée. La belle actrice va-t-elle semer la discorde entre les deux inséparables compères ? Ou ceux-ci vont-ils déjouer la mascarde?

C''est la révolution au village gaulois! L''arrivée de Maestria, barde féminine et féministe, va semer un vent de contestations parmi les femmes du village. Et lorsque l''armée romaine elle-même soumet ses légions aux règles de la parité, la galanterie gauloise est soumise à rude épreuve...Asterix et Obélix vont-ils pouvoir ramener le calme tout en gardant le leur?

Bien avant Christophe Colomb, les Gaulois avaient découvert les côtes américaines : Astérix et Obélix faisaient partie de l''expédition...

Le gouverneur de la province de Rennes pratique activement le « recel et abus de biens sociaux avec enrichissement personnel », c''est-à-dire qu''il profite de sa situation pour s''enrichir. Aussi, quand Rome envoie un questeur pour vérifier ses comptes, il l''empoisonne. Mais le questeur fait appel à Panoramix, qui a besoin pour pouvoir le soigner de faire une potion à base d''Edelweiss. Voilà donc Astérix et Obélix partis en Suisse, engagés dans une course contre la montre pour cueillir et rapporter une de ces fleurs. Ils devront aussi échapper aux légionnaires que le gouverneur de Genève, ami du gouverneur de Rennes, a lancé à leurs trousses.

À la suite d''une dispute et d''un pari stupide entre Abraracourcix et son beau-frère, voilà Astérix et Obélix partis à Rome : ils ont pour mission de rapporter la couronne de lauriers de César pour qu''elle puisse parfumer le ragoût qu''Abraracourcix doit offrir à son beau-frère. La partie ne sera pas facile, car il est hors de question d''entrer dans le palais de César par la force. Nos Gaulois doivent donc trouver un moyen d''y rentrer discrètement pour en rapporter la couronne, couronne qui met une mauvaise volonté à se faire trouver.
