A really cool comic I am glad I happened to read after watching Empire of Death.  Overall, Old Girl, in spite of just being a comic book story by a pretty small company, with just a single writer and a few people on the art team, manages to tell a story much more satisfying as a return for Sutekh.  This comic story does have some problems.  Things get resolved a little too quickly.  Some of the dialogue feels awkward, out of character, or too silly for my tastes.  The last issue has a lot of characters spending a lot of time talking about their feelings at moments of critical urgency, and it can be frustrating.

Yet around these moments of weaknesses are a whole bunch of strengths that really make this comic story something special.  All of the characters are really cool, and there are a lot of characters.  Major players like the Doctor, Gabby, Cindy, Anubis, Dorothy, and Sutekh all get a lot of moments that are well done and memorable.  Sutekh really gets to feel at the full limit of his potential power, and, at least for a moment, is this cosmic entity on the brink of wiping away all of reality just as he is original presented in the original show.  And the art really gets to show that off with these amazingly creative scenes and imagery.  Ancient Gallifrey was very cool and had a lot of subtle little changes that place it at a very specific point in time.  Anubis' ship is beautiful, and their are some really cool sequences in space.  Some panels have washed out light rather than any sort of background to them, and moments like those kind of show a limited budget of time and resources behind the scenes, but given that information, these comics are more impressive in what they manage to do rather than what they don't quite pull off.

It helps that I really like Gabby and Cindy.  It's a shame that I recently learned the fate of the characters is kind of open-ended and left on a cliffhanger at the moment.
