Regression #8 – 2018 continues Cullen Bunn’s deeply disturbing psychological horror series with a chapter that dives further into the grotesque spiral of madness, occultism, and possession. As the world of Adrian becomes more fractured, this issue intensifies both the tension and the revelations, leaving readers uneasy and compelled to keep turning pages.
By this point in the series, Adrian is no longer just a victim of terrifying hallucinations or mysterious past-life intrusions — he’s become a vessel for something ancient and malevolent. Regression #8 sees Adrian’s psyche begin to break under the weight of dark forces, and those around him are drawn further into the nightmarish web. Bunn's writing remains tight and sharp, with each issue building dread while expanding the twisted mythology at the story’s core.
The horror here is twofold: viscerally shocking and psychologically invasive. Bunn masterfully blends occult horror with themes of identity and inherited trauma, creating a narrative that feels deeply personal and metaphysically terrifying. If earlier issues leaned into mystery, this one veers fully into dread — and it does not hold back.
Danny Luckert’s art continues to impress with disturbingly clean linework that makes the grotesque moments hit even harder. The level of detail in body horror sequences is particularly jarring, turning familiar anatomy into something unnatural and corrupted. Marie Enger’s muted, sickly colour palette enhances the sense of decay, dread, and spiritual corruption, making every page feel like a descent into something ancient and wrong.
While not for the faint-hearted, Regression #8 is a rewarding read for horror enthusiasts who appreciate a layered story with disturbing visuals and cerebral undertones. The series remains one of Image Comics’ most daring forays into supernatural horror, refusing to spoon-feed answers or offer easy resolutions. This chapter, in particular, feels like a critical turning point — where horror becomes transformation, and no one walks away unscathed.
