Eh I know it’s a classic, Egyptian gods are aliens, but meh. Didn’t really like the story, didn’t think the Doctor was particularly Doctor

It started out pretty okay, but then it got more and more confusing and at the very end I had no idea what was going on. Maybe my primitive monkey brain is just too feeble to understand. Or maybe the writing just isn't all that clear and sometimes just ... skips entire actions/panels, leaving me with many question marks.
At least the art is better again, except for the shots of New York City that are clearly just badly edited photographs. Oh yeah did I mention the story takes place in NYC ... again? The third time in three issues? All of space and time at your disposal and you keep returning to the Big Apple. Exciting!

This started out fine but the story arc was just too long and boring. I didn't care about any of the characters we met in this story and I don't see the need for the companion Gabby or her friend Cindy. There was no life to this, the Doctor had no real personality. Cindy seemed the most developed but also came off as one of the most unlikable of the characters. The Egyptian god/aliens has been done before and better.

This series continues to be a pretty solid reflection of the show, both in its strengths and weaknesses. Overall, I thought this arc gave us a good example of the more complex story lines where there's no true good or evil to triumph or defeat. I did feel some of the details were rushed, perhaps there were just too many characters to do all of them justice. The new companion has been great, but she took kind of a back seat here.
I'm not sure I would have understood half of what was going on if I hadn't seen the original story this arc heavily referenced, but I really enjoyed the spin it took on that classic.

Well that was interesting.
Very much a tenth doctor tale from RTD's era, full of techy jargon and characters that come good in the end. The plot is full on; there's a lot to explain and it's done very beautifully. The panels are stunning to look at, this is a big universe with big ideas.
I liked the companion, Gabby; a bit like Martha and Sarah Jane, someone who seems exactly as she is, although with a little bit more that I'm sure is explained either in her introduction or later on. The comic also kept with the RTD tradition of showing how those left behind cope with a friend travelling with the Doctor. Cindy has a pretty realistic attitude towards what Gabby is asking her to understand.
This tale is volume 3, so I'm missing some of the story, and it's not complete by a long shot, it's only a chapter in the book, but it's an entertaining ride and I'm interested to see where this tale goes.
