The latest Asterix story draws inspiration from the Wikileaks scandal and even features a character inspired by Wikileaks founder, the embattled Julian Asange.
After their last escapade in Scotland, the boisterous Gauls will be back in their homeland in "Asterix and the Missing Scroll", fighting alongside a reporter inspired by the real-life WikiLeaks founder to counter a propaganda war launched by their Roman foes.
