First of all, I’ve never played “Dream Daddy” game but after seeing this graphic novel, I went straight to Steam and purchased it right away. I mean you get hot daddies and dating between them so what more could you need?!?! 😁 That being said, I’m thinking I might probably have enjoyed this graphic novel more if I had played the game first. While there’s nothing wrong with this comics, I don’t really know the characters and I didn’t get enough time with them to really learn about them. 🙂 All comics are very short and sweet and if I didn’t know this was based on a daddy dating game, I would have thought they are just good friends. 😌 The steam is THAT low. 😁 And I get it’s a collection of short comics but I only loved the artwork of first and last comics. The second one is lovely enough but other artworks are a bit of a let down for me. Different aesthetic values I guess. 😅 Anyhow, I guess this is more suitable for teens or younger adults who are looking for cutesy and very light LGBT themed graphic novels. I enjoyed it though.

oh, dream daddies. one night at work i was about to start reading a graphic novel about depression, but i checked out the dream daddies instead. definitely the lighter, easier choice.
i hadn't played the dating simulation game this graphic novel is based on, so i wasn't really sure what i was getting myself into. but it's a fun five-issue romp in the cul-de-sac where a group of hot single dads live and romance one another. there are plentiful dad jokes and puns, and overall it's very entertaining!
the only problem i have with the comic is that each of the five issues has a different set of artists, and there's a distinct lack of consistency. i can see the appeal of a collaborative effort, but the different art styles are jarring.
the first, second, and fifth issues are illustrated in a style similar to the original game. the dads are super pretty and realistically rendered. but the third and fourth issues are drawn in a bubbly cartoonish style that i couldn't stand. especially for readers who aren't familiar with the characters from playing the game, seeing them illustrated so differently across the issues definitely takes away from the reading experience. still, i'll probably continue reading if another volume is released!

A must-read for any fans of the Dream Daddy game!
This was absolutely adorable, hilarious, and so heart-warming. It follows the different dads of Dream Daddy - sometimes in relationships with one another, sometimes as rivals or friends - and is unapologetically diverse, queer as hell, and gorgeous, to boot. I love Dream Daddy so I was absolutely ecstatic to see this graphic novel's existence, and I'll definitely be purchasing a finished copy for my shelves when it releases!
Thank you so much to the publisher for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I almost closed the book when I found out in the introduction that it is based on a video game that I have never played or even heard of. But I plunged in, intrigued by the concept: a bunch of single LGBTQ dads living on a cul de sac are friends, lovers and a parenting support system. Unfortunately, it was just a bunch of boring, unfunny short stories about characters with little to no personality put together by a bunch of creators I neither know nor am impressed by -- with the exception of cover artist Kris Anka.

This comic book follows the five Dad's from the popular game 'Dream Daddy'. Although I found the stories fun, I think a bit of a backstory to each Dad would have been helpful going in as I had no idea anything about them whatsoever, having never played the game before. I liked how the art style and paneling changed with each of the five stories. I also enjoyed how the stories were more focused on the friendships between the Dad's rather than the romance as I had originally thought it would be. The only big complaint I have is that I wish each of the stories were just a bit longer.

I was sent this book as an advanced copy by the publisher via NetGalley for reviewing purposes, but all opinions are my own.
This was fun! Five different stories following the dads from the dating simulator game and they were all different and fun to read. I would say having previous knowledge of the game is helpful to have some context of the characters' personalities and priorities, although it's certainly not necessary. But I have to admit that even having played it when it came out it took me a while to remember why a certain character was behaving a certain way or another.
My favorite stories were the second one (with Damien, Robert and their shenanigans) and the last one where all the dads played d&d.
I would recommend it if you played the game and want to see more of the characters.

Even if you have never played Dream Daddy, which apparently a computer game of some kind, you can still read this, the way I did, as some cute love stories between different dads that make up this community.
The stories are all PG. There is nothing that is sensational or pornographic. These are all sweet, funny, cute stories about dads that live in the same community and interact with each other.
In this volume there were five short stories, written by the games creators, and who would know their characters better than they would.

Disappointing. The stories went nowhere without even being entertaining and the various art styles were conflicting, making the changes between chapters jarring. Reading the "behind the scenes" content in the end was very illuminating, though. I'm sad it didn't work for me.

This wasn’t exactly what I was expecting, since I wasn’t familiar with the game Dream Daddy. But it was entertaining and wonderful artwork by various artists all bringing a different style to the graphic novel. If you like the game, I’m sure this graphic novel won’t disappoint!

I enjoyed this immensely! It was a great collection of little additional stories about the characters I've come to love playing the game. It was great to see more interactions between the dads themselves and not only our dadsona's adventures with them. There was also a range of art styles, with a different creative team for every issue, and I liked them all. I highly recommend this title, especially to the fans of the game.

February 24, 2019As soon as I saw that this book was available to request on Netgalley, I knew that I had to read it! This is a companion graphic novel to the game Dream Daddy.
Now, a confession - I haven't actually played the game. But I heard so much about it when all my friends were playing it that I felt like I already knew the characters. I would probably recommend playing the game before reading the comics, but I didn't find it too much of an issue.
A lot of the stories don't actually focus on romance, but rather friendships between the dads. The story that illustrated this the best was 'Dungeons and Daddies', where all of the dads get together to play dungeons and dragons. Even though I didn't know their personalities as much as people who have played the game, I thought that each of them was perfectly suited to their character, which was really cool!
Each of the stories had different illustrators and colourists, and I thought that, for the most part, this worked really well. They tended to match the themes/tone of each of the stories. The only one I wasn't a huge fan of was the illustrator for the story 'Fair Deal' because it was a lot more simplistic and used a more traditional comics style. While it worked for the story, it was in pretty big contrast to the rest of the illustration, and felt a bit jarring to me.
Overall I really enjoyed this collection - and it has thoroughly convinced me that I really should actually play the game sometime soon! It is so refreshing to see a game and graphic novel about queer characters that don't end in tragedy.

Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Comic Book is a collection of five standalone stories about the dads in Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator, the acclaimed visual novel video game. I haven’t played the game yet, so I’m not familiar with the world or any of its characters. This comic was my first introduction to it, but it isn’t really meant to be one, so I got a bit confused at first. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed these cute stories. My favorite is the first one, Much Abird about Nothing, written by Wendy Xu and illustrated by Ryan Maniulit. The art is amazing, the story is really adorable, and Craig is so… hot. And very charming. I love his mom and his kids, too. 10/10 would woo him.
I definitely would recommend this to fans of the game! I may or may not be tempted to check out the game myself!

I received an ARC copy of this book from NetGalley
actual rating: 4.5
This was so cute! I love the Dream Daddy game so it's always nice to see new related content for it. This book is made up of five short stories featuring the dads from the game and their kids [and a couple of different cute dadsonas]. They were all really fun and have the same great dialogue that I love from the game, but the one where Robert thinks that Damien is an actual vampire was definitely my favorite. I would totally read more volumes of this if they decide to write more!

Love the Dream Daddy video game. I wish the whole book was just the first story completed. The second story is okay, kind of funny. I only like the art in stories one & two out of five. The rest are just shit-posts and underwhelming. Glad the pictures are in full color, though. All-in-all, the book has no substance or flow and didn't expand on relationships as I had hoped.

I’ve never played the game, but surprisingly was a cute read. Plus, all those daddies, amirite?

Thanks to NetGalley for an e-ARC of this in exchange for an honest review.
This was a fun and quick read based on the computer/video game of the same name. It features the same characters and plays with the relationships all the dads in this community have with one another.
I had actually read two of these stories before, having purchased the single editions when they came out, so was excited to read the rest of the stories that complete this trade.
My favourites were probably the first and last stories, but I felt some of the others were lacking in something, there was nothing in particular wrong with any of them, just didn't catch my attention in quite the same way.
I had a fun time reading this and enjoyed seeing my fave dad (Craig obviously) again and would definitely recommend to fans of the game and people who have never played alike- enjoyable for all to fill an hour or so!

Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator is a game where you play as a Dad and your goal is to meet other Dads. I haven't played the game but this graphic novel is a volume of five comics based on characters from the game.
The artwork is amazing and incredibly pleasing to gawk at for hours in admiration as well. Each new story provided a new layer to each character's development. In one story, Hugo was getting too caught up in sticking with his plans and through this conflict, the bond shared with Hugo and his friends deepened. It's super fun! What a great project! I hope to see more of this type of thing in the future.

I was surprised to learn that this was a game. I love when things branch out to comics!
This comic provides different stories of single dads and their relationships with each other and their daughters. There is romance, games, father-daughter activities, vampire vibes and friendship. It was cute and sweet. There are different art styles in here and I think this was really great to contrast the different stories
My main complaint about this is I wish there was more to each of their stories. I felt like it was cut short the moment the story started to pick-up. Also, considering the name I expected more romance-dating was very little of that.

This comic book revisits the world of the "Dream Daddy" game. I love the fact that we have a new narrative about a bunch of pretty diverse cast of middle aged queer men.
The volume encommpasses 5 issues. Each issue is a closed story and has different dads in focus and is made by different creative team. I loved them all, had so much fun reading them. However, I must admit I enjoyed the first 2 issues ("Much Abird About Nothing" - focused on Craig and "Let the Right Dad In"- focused on Robert and Damien) the most but I might be biased since they were always my favorite dads. I also really enjoyed the creators' commentaries at the end, having insight into why they made some specific decisions, who's their favorite daddy, etc.

I'd like to see more of Craig and his boyfriend! Volumes 1, 2, and 5 were the best for me. 3 was super cute. 4 felt kind of boring but had some fun ideas to play with if nothing less! I'd love to see a sitcom or animated show set in this world, they should capitalize on the popularity of the brand some more. Definitely a cute, fun read for anybody looking to get into comics or who likes the idea of the game but doesn't want to play it.

This was interesting. Far be it from me to say gay stories can't be for a younger crowd but that usually applies to gay stories about younger characters. This oddly read like a YA/all ages book but it starred dads? It was baffling. The language and the storylines were so incredibly kid friendly.
Each issue is about a different character and a different story, often with different artists and writers. I think I enjoyed the vampire story the most. Brian was my favorite dad, the ginger bear. All in all, this was just okay for me. Not a recommend from me personally.

I decided to give this a shot because comic and dating dads. What I got was a comic and dad, most of whom were not overtly dating. I enjoyed the first comic the most out of all of them. I liked the story, the characters and the artwork.
I wasn't expecting different artists for each comic, so the difference in art styles was a little jarring and felt a little disjointed when characters in common from story to story looked vastly different.
If the title didn't say Dating, I am not sure I would have gotten a romantic vibe from most of these stories. And they were all fairly short so there is no real arc to the storylines.
You may enjoy this more if you are familiar with the game, which I am not, but even without the game it was still a quick read with some enjoyable parts.

Dream Daddy is a collection of short comics set in the cul-de-sac full with single dads, as known from the popular visual novel game of the same title.
The stories work best when you know the game and are already familiar with the characters, especially their quirks and who is who (both the dads, their children and other side characters.)
Each comic is written and drawn by different artists in a wide variety of different styles - there should be something for everyone in there.
Each story is charming in its own way, though some I ended up liking more than others.
My favourite story by far was the first one, Much Abird about Nothing. The last one, Dungeons and Daddies, which features the dads playing Dungeons & Dragons, was a lot of fun too, but was lacking in feeling, as was the case with most of the other stories. They were nice and easy to read, but I didn't get much from them.
While some of the comics feature the customizable player character as designed by the artists personally, other only feature the existing dads in the game.
Overall a lovely extension of the Dad Dating Simulator that is quick and fun to read!

This was so much fun! The art was gorgeous and I just loved seeing the characters of such an amazing game back in full force. My favorite story was easily the Dungeons and Dragons one. I was cracking up while reading it and the art was gorgeous.

So I knew what Dream Daddy was going in to this, but at the same time, I haven't played the game. I thought this was pretty cute but kind of wanted more, and that might have not been the case had I played the game beforehand.
Out of the five short stories, Much Abird About Nothing was easily my favorite - I really loved how cute it was and wanted to see storylines with more depth in this collection. The artwork was also my favorite out of all of the stories.
The others - Let the Right Dad In, Dream Ad-y, Fair Deal and Dungeons & Daddies - were all fun, but generally on the light side. I feel like I didn't get as good of a grasp on the characters here, since it was mostly hijinks compared to the first story's emotion.
Overall, this was cute, and I will pick up the game at some point, but this isn't pushing me to get it like, right now.

Fine? I definitely feel like I was missing something. There should be like a cast list/family tree/neighborhood map at the start because I didn't know who was who/which kids belong to which dad. The first story was the strongest, and the rest were all pretty meh to bad. I like the idea conceptually, but it didn't really pan out for me.
