MY RATING: 4 of 5 stars
Regression is a fictional story about Adrian who is having hallucinations or visions, and he sought help from his friend Molly who set him to meet a hypnotist. This hypnotist told him that what a better to way help him is through regression therapy or by using hypnosis to take a look at his past life.
This graphic novel piqued my interest because I'm quite familiar with this; I always listen to radio programs before that tackles topics about new age, past life regression, and reincarnation. Some people had one and others had several past lives, and there are also those who are new souls. There are several ways to get a glimpse of what you were in your past life/lives, and the most famous technique is through hypnosis. Others would immediately know what they were in their first session, but there are others who take several sessions before they could be able to have the clear vision.
As for the case of Adrian, he already had visions even before his hypnosis. But they were vague so through regression, it opens an opportunity for him to have a vivid vision of his past life. However, because of his dark past and unfinished business then, it almost took over his present life.
I may reiterate that this graphic novel is just a work of fiction, thus Adrian's story of his past haunting him doesn't happen to anyone who had a regression in real life.
Those who are interested in New Age as well as with horror, suspense and action stories, this story of Cullen Bunn and art by Danny Luckert will definitely capture your interest.
