After two issues I was ready to five star this but issue 3 was just okay and I hated pretty much everything about issue 4 (boring story and dull almost child-focused artwork). Thankfully everything was redeemed in issue 5.
Issue 1 and 5 vie for my favourite issues of the collection. Both have excellent artwork and stories that really appeal to me, a classic romance premise in issue 1 and a DnD night in issue 5.
Issue 2 comes in a close third.
Recommend for those 3 issues. And I'll be trying to get this for my print collection.

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.… (más)

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

If you have already exhausted all dialogue options in Dream Daddy and miss all the humour and wholesome gay/bi dads, try checking out this comic. Or at least that's what I did.

For a Dream Daddy comic anthology, there was surprisingly little romance, but lots of friendly bonding the different dads, which was almost better. After all, we get plenty of romance in the game itself, but do we get Robert stalking Damien because he thinks he's a vampire, or the dads playing D&D together? No, we don't, and that's why this comic exists!

My only complaint is that there wasn't enough Lucien.… (más)

NetGalley ARC.

First, I have heard of the game Dream Daddy, and am familiar with the Game Grumps, but alas, I have never played. I feel that leaves me at a (very slight) disadvantage because I feel like I haven't had the chance to get to know the characters like people who have played the game obviously have. That being said, it wasn't totally confusing, although it was clear that the characters and their relationships had already been established.

This is basically a collection of slice-of-life stories--which I adore--that are funny and quirky. The characters are silly in the best way and the situations entertaining. It's single dads navigating fatherhood and adult life as...single dads. Lots of humor, a little romance, plenty of cuteness. The artwork is great and the storytelling very good. My favorite of the stories, by far, is the Dungeons & Daddies. It's a beautiful disaster! I would definitely pay for a copy of this. I hope the stories continue!… (más)
