Regression builds to an unbelievable cliffhanger, specifically with two mind-blowing full-page spreads that hit like a one-two punch. If your skin wasn't crawling with all the bugs, it will with these final pages. This is the horror comic to watch this year. I mean, you should already be reading it as Cullen Bunn's name is on it and the man knows a thing or two about writing horror comics. This is some next level stuff. Read Full Review

Danny Luckert and Marie Enger have manager to horrify me with some real nightmare-fuel images. Never mind the words that carry their share of the story, this art manages to convey the main character's fear and unease with real effortlessness. I've had my own experiences with what Adrian calls a "new-age crapfest" and managed to dismiss it. The art in this book makes that sort of dismissal an impossibility. You don't really want to look too closely, but you can't look away. I'm glad it's a month until I have to confront these images again, but I'm really looking forward to it at the same time.

I am a fan of horror books, and of Cullen Bunn in general. With a personal, innovative storyline and graphic art, this book has a chance to succeed in the horror genre and strike a chord with the bloodthirsty fans of recent horror comics. Fans of Bunn's work on Harrow County or other realistic, modern horror books like Nailbiter or Locke and Keywill be able to enjoy Regression. The book is similar in tone, but Bunn's personal connection to this material shines through and adds a unique, memorable element to Regression that feels refreshing. Read Full Review

Regression came out of nowhere for me. I remember seeing all the previews and thinking it was just another throw-away horror book. I remember joking with the guys I used to work with at the comic book store about how it's just another Cullen Bunn book, and at that time it seemed like Cullen Bunn was writing just about every other book we had on the shelves. But I'll admit that I was wrong, that Regression is more than just a simple throw-away horror comic. I think this book will go places and some of them will not be pretty. They'll look nice, because of the great art and colors, but they'll be dark and fucked up and full of death and blood and bugs. So fucking many bugs. Read Full Review

Regression #1 lays the groundwork for an interesting premise where a corrupted mind creates horror and suspense for itself and maybe other unfortunates who try to peek inside. Naturalistic dialog and adaptive artwork offer hope that the series will grow with a rich sense of characters and the appropriate vibes to convey the fear that can exist only in a person's uncertain mind. Read Full Review

Light on character but heavy on visceral gore, "Regression" thrusts you deep into it world of body-horror, and hardly ever slows down. Read Full Review

It's a pretty typical opening to a horror story, with some thinner characters than you'd want to see. A perfectly acceptable start if you're into the premise. Read Full Review

Despite some minor flaws, Regression #1 succeeds in being the chilling and disturbing opening chapter to what could be another horrific success for writer Cullen Bunn. The story uses unsettling and grisly imagery to support its well-constructed narrative, and asks interesting thematic questions abut our intrinsic fear of exploring the darkest corners of our own minds. But, at its heart, it's mostly a scary introduction to a nightmarish tale. Read Full Review

Ultimately, Regression might not be a grand slam for the prolific Bunn, but there's still a decent amount to like here, thanks in part to the quick descent into violence and viscera portrayed by Luckert. There's some potential to this hypnotism-themed horror, and one only hopes that Bunn uses his unique ties to the practice to build up his characters after this debut. As it stands as a debut, the beautifully rendered Regression might not lure you under its spell completely, but it certainly has enough pull to draw you in for another session. Read Full Review

I think this maybe another example this story would have been better served collected. I have this feeling if I had more plot to digest and I could see more of where the writer was going I could maybe appreciate the story more. As it is, the story just stops at a place that Im not satisfied with. Read Full Review

I had been looking forward to Regression for several months, the premise caught my attention and of course Cullen Bunn doing something horror/thriller/supernatural is typically gonna be worth the read. Regression flows so smoothly, Bunn builds each scene so well, that each segue seamlessly slides into the next scene very naturally. A bit too naturally perhaps, in that some of the story structures are a little predictable, but done masterfully even so. And Luckert's art is something I'm not usually a fan of, but found myself loving in Regression. The thick outlines he uses I typically find to be too surreal, or fake really. But the level of grainy detail Luckert includes, and the very wide range of detailed facial expressions he captures was perfect for depicting Bunn's writing. I'd say this is going to be a very fun ride. There may be some predictability when it comes to themes and structures, but they are skillfully wielded, and the originality far outweighs these. I really liked reading Bunn's explanation of where he got the idea for the story. It's that kind of personally driven creativity that creates great stories. All in all, Regression is a definite pull for me. more

I am very interested in seeing where this going. The art was good with no complaints on that. Story is intriguing, had you thinking of someone with mental health issues​ and then took a left hand turn. We know very little of the characters so far, but it has tons of room for growth to be a pretty awesome title.
