'n Ramp het Asterix en Obelix se Galliese dorpie getref:
Abrakadabrix, die druide, se goue sekel het gebreek. Sonder sy goue

afgeweer moet word nie. Asterix en Obelix word afgevaardig om al
die pad Lutetia toe te reis om ’n nuwe sekel te gaan koop... maar
die paadjie daarheen loop natuurlik nie sonder avontuurlike
kronkels nie.

A New York Times Bestseller! This magical adventure from the #1
digital comic platform WEBTOON continues as Dani and Dorian answer
the question they've been avoiding: could one of them be the king
of witches? A classic good-vs-evil struggle plays out on an epic
stage in the second volume of this bestselling comic. Dani and
Dorian Wytte have been through everything together-including
joining forces with trouble maker Nico, Princess Monica, and golden
boy Mark to sneak into the witch's sabbath, spring hostages from
prison, and defend the castle when it was attacked by witches. With
witches like their parents out for power and blood and non-magical
people increasingly threatened by them, Dani and Dorian don't know
whose side they're on . . .or if anyone's on their side. That
includes their brother, Damien, who disappeared after being crowned

fiance, Prince William disappeared, too, Dani and Dorian know they
must set out to find their lost allies. Luckily, they aren't alone.
Based on the beloved webcomic from WEBTOON, Hooky Volume 2 picks up
