Asterix - family battle

Asterix - if you ever read the comic books, is the character in the Asterix comic, fought battles with the Romans and possible other armies from the regions. I don't read it. But this comic is kind of popular, like Tintin stories. So this time, the battle is not with Asterix but within the creator's family. The daughter of the last surviving creator had lashed out that her dad had sold out Asterix. She would prefer it going the way of Tintin. When Tintin's creator died, the story ends there. No one else have the rights now to start a new story. Maybe in the future, but now there isn't. So the question is - is that what best for everyone? If the fans love it, stopping any new stories would it be right? Then again, stories coming from a third party, how original can it be considered? There are ways to make sure how it all comes out but currently, it seems they prefer to squabble over it. I would like to see new material for Tintin if the new author would stick to traditions. Asterix, I don't read it.
