Favourite issue so far! Who better than Nguyen to imbue emotion into an off-the-shelf robot? The crook of the neck, the wide-eyed look of realisation - it's so stunningly nuanced. And those panels of gnashing of teeth! Hats off.

Daniel of the Earth Plain, I name you...LEGEND It has been a joy following this series.

Simply non-pretentious, great art and thoroughly good fun throughout!

[Will write a proper review after I've finished lifting my jaw off from the ground. Thanks.]

There's something about The Dregs that gets under my skin. I found those sweeping platitudes annoying, and there's Masonic themes that are a bit too...well, obvious. Maybe it's because people can't help joining the dots; plot more than two points and someone is gonna draw a damn triangle! 'The city will show you the way' apparently, but - ultimately - we end up swamped by a psoriasis of urban development and resort to walking listless, retreating to that other wilderness of the mind. Curiously, whenever I see one of these new shiny buildings in reality, I worry about the plumbing and if their windows actually open? Pores all clogged up. I don't know about the drugs, or cannibalism (it's a metaphor right?), but when I reflect on my own time sleeping rough, The Dregs is sadly familiar. When you're numb to your toes with cold, hungry and dishevelled, the city and its people do reveal themselves to you in a new light. The senses sharpen and the madness of survival forces you to learn yesterday. But for damn curiosity, The Dregs sure dragged me to somewhere I did not want to be. Heck, I think it probably gave me a rash. WARNING: Should come with a steroid lotion.
