Mar 01, 2017Honestly, I can't say enough good things about this book. It's like nothing I've ever read before. I'd say it's a tour-de-force but that would make me a douchebag. So, I'll just say that reading The Dregs is an experience. And I will forever recommend this book to every single person in the history of the world. Read Full Review

Mar 03, 2017'The Dregs' is a rock-solid story with innovative art and classic crime thriller bones. It sheds an unflinching light on the dilemma of homelessness while finding dignity in its hero. The only thing that would make this better is revisiting that stunning opening from the first issue and examine that some more as I'm sure they will. Black Mask has a winner on their hands.

Mar 04, 2017The world of The Dregs expands in the second issue, as the mystery gets deeper, the characters get weirder and the hero becomes both more relatable and a little more unsure of himself. Solid mystery storytelling. Read Full Review

Horror DNA - James Ferguson
Mar 12, 2017The Dregs is a solid pulp detective story, however it has been somewhat declawed by the spoiler-filled opening pages of the series. It led with such an amazing hook that I'm anxious to get back to it. Since we already know what's really going on, we have to become greatly invested in Arnold's life and his investigation. Writers Lonnie Nadler and Zac Thompson accomplish this well, creating an interesting, sympathetic, albeit flawed human being looking for answers in a screwed up world that has all but forgotten him.

Mar 02, 2017I really enjoyed this, it has a great story, great art, and a great promise of an amazing series. From what i saw at the end of the comic, i am really excited to see where the story takes us as Arnold solves the mystery to his missing friends. Excited for more and can't wait to follow along.

Mar 03, 2017Zac Thompson and Lonnie Nadler had me hooked with the book's opening issue (in more ways than one), but I should hope that my first time doesn't become the best it's ever going to be, with each subsequent installment leaving me "chasing the dragon," as they say. Here's the thing " I'm still hooked. But I want to know: Where's that confounded dragon, man? Read Full Review

This is a great series so far. I'm very impressed with the stylistic look Eric Zawadzki brings to the book; there are many interesting layouts, as the artist makes a lot of interesting decisions i.e. the two page spread with the circular maze with Marlow within, surrounded by images of him struggling to push a boulder forward. So much is conveyed with his art; I love it. And the writer is giving us a classic detective story in a very different surrounding, and it's fascinating to watch Marlow struggling to make sense of the mysterious disappearance of the street people. Great comic.

Really good 2nd issue, the page designs in this are excellent. I like how there's a mini mystery that is solved within this issue, but the main plot has only just been touched on. Artwork's good, the characters are varied and the world our main character has to exist in is both psychedelic and totally down to earth. Eager for next one!
