For fans of the game, this comic is a fun little addition to help deal with the fact that we aren't getting expansions/DLC. The covers for each issue are fantastic, and so totally worth it alone, but the stories are all pretty sweet too. I like that our main character (the player character) is different in each one to reflect that the player can customize him however we like.

The art in the first story can be a little flat, but employs good use of the blank dot eyes (which are an option in-game), and is a heartwarming story about Craig (or as I call him, Fitness Dad), worrying about a high school reunion while getting closer to the main character. Also, seagulls. Those bastards.

The second story focuses on introducing Robert (Cryptid Dad) and Damien (best boy) to each other, with Mary in the mix. This one was definitely weird, but that's what you'd expect from that combination of people. The art is effective with emotions, and plays with the weirdness of this story, even going into black and white briefly.

Though speaking of weird, the third story really goes off the rails. It's funny if you know things like film theory and basically anything Robert says in this one, but for a story that's supposed to be focused on Mat (Music Dad), there's not a lot of Mat in it. I was also not crazy about the more chibi art style of this one, which kind of distracted from the overall story.

The fourth story is definitely my least favorite, but that's partially because it focuses on Brian (Braggy Dad), who is my least favorite. The art is absolutely adorable though; it reminds me of Trolls or Steven Universe. Also, aren't the twins supposed to largely not talk? They sure did a lot of talking.

In my completely biased opinion, the last story was the best. Because Dad D&D. But also, it addresses some of the problems of people who play tabletops: the player who thinks they should DM, the player who's just there because everyone else is, the player who's way over-dedicated to their character...it's all there. Also the art in this one is solid, great at making sure the reader knows when we're looking at characters vs players.

So overall it's fun, but you aren't getting a deep, inside story to any particular Dad. Just some sweet fluffy feels and fun, which is good too.

An enjoyable addition to the Dream Daddy game, it gives us a few seperate stories that develop the different romance-able Dads from the game and gives them more time to shine. It features a lot of different artists and writers, and there is sure to be something for everyone's taste. I didn't like all stories the same, either for art style or ease of writing (some panels were so full of dialogue it got confusing) but overall a quick and easy read.

This was so fun! I hadn't played the game when I started reading this, even though it had been on my list since it was released, but I went out and bought it halfway through because I enjoyed this so much!

Having never played the game Dream Daddies myself (but I have seen other people play and I am familiar with all the characters) I was really excited to read this comic. I didn't realize going in that each story would be by a different author and illustrator but I really enjoyed that aspect of the book. My favorite story was the last, Dungeon Daddies. As a big nerd, that story was fantastic! I loved the thought of all the daddies together playing a game together and hanging out. Each of the individual stories had their own nuances which I appreciated. I liked all of the stories and the artwork for each one as well. I would highly recommend this comic to any fans of the game Dream Daddies or just fans of daddies in general.

A thousand thanks to Oni Press and NetGalley for this advanced copy!

If you’re a fan of the game, than this comic is an essential! Casually, though, it was simply a fun, goofy, fast queer read.

Each vignette focuses on a different “Dad” from the Maple Bay cul-de-sac, and some were more interesting than others. The art style and coloring were different for each separate story, which was also kind of neat, but again: some worked out great, and a few were just “meh”. Honestly, a majority of it was too cute for my taste, but I enjoyed the lightness of the humor— a good fluff read.

I'm so happy this book exists! I loved the game, I thought it was too cute. This book has several Daddy stories written by various authors compiled into one comic book. It's basically just little meet-cute stories where gay dads meet each other and hopefully end up kissing.

I had hoped this would be better, to be honest. The artwork variety is cute and it has great gay rep. Other than that, not much going for it. It wasn't interesting, but rather boring. I would recommend playing the game if you're at all drawn to this comic book. Would probably only read it if it's free. 2 stars.

I love the Dream Daddy game and this comic is cute with some amazing art. I loved all the stories and my favorite is the story with Rober and Damien. I would recomend this to anyone eho loved the game and any one who wants to read something with LGBTQ representation.

I loved this!! I definitely had a couple of favourite issues, but they were all so good. I have played the Dream Daddy game, but I really enjoyed this book regardless. The art is also very beautiful.

Dream Daddy is a set of short stories based on the characters from the video game Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator. In it, a set of dads from the same neighborhood hang out, make friends, and occasionally (in this book, VERY occasionally) date. There's some shirtless panels, and a tiny bit of kissing, but otherwise not explicit. I'm familiar with the game Dream Daddy, but only in passing, and this book made me want to play it-- I think the book might be better if you're already familiar with the characters. The story with the science fair and dads at the library was my favorite, but as a librarian, I might be a little biased. I kind of wish it had been a chooseable path book, more similar to the game, but overall I think this is a fun, LGBTQ-friendly read.

LMAO FINALLY I'M ABLE TO READ THIS.

I've known Dream Daddy as a game from a gamer youtube channel and wondered when can I play this one *coughpoorworker* and then! There! Is! A! Comic! Adaptation!

I love all the stories inside, but particularly Let the RIght Dad In. It's such a hilarious misunderstanding (or is it? wink) that shatter the image of Robert as the coolest baddest dad in town for me since I saw him on that gaming channel lol.

I love that we get to return to our favourite neighbourhood dads! Entertaining, hilarious and heartwarming. Perfect for fans of the game and to newcomers should they stumble across this. This book basically reaffirmed my love for Craig and Damien as my favourite dads.

This collection of comics is a must for fans of the Dream Daddy sim, giving more story time to the lovable characters introduced in the game with the same cleverness and hilarity. Readers who haven't played the sum yet wont have as much history with the characters, but even without it, will be charmed by the Dream daddies and suddenly interested in buying the game. (Trust me on that last part, I speak from experience!)

This collection of short stories all intertwine around one group of dad's their partners and their children. I wasn't aware that that this title was based on a dating sim game so there are some aspects of the plot I was confused on until I did further research. The art is adorable and the stories are cute but I would mostly recommend this graphic novel to fans of the game.

Having not played the game this graphic novel is based on, I didn’t know what to expect. While I was a bit confused over who was who, I found myself enjoying this more than I thought I would. I loved the art and the colors and the humor was well done. I would recommend to fans of quirky, light reads and of course, to anyone who has played the game.

For someone who never heard of the game before, I had trouble following the flow of the story as I felt like I am missing something. But by the third one, I finally get to know more of the characters and was able to enjoy it until the end. I just wish there's a bit of a background for non-players like me. But nevertheless, it was a fun comics with nice illustrations.

i was provided a digital arc by NetGalley.

i was really excited to receive this book, it sounded like something i'd like but i didn't.

the art style was really nice, they drew a little dog in one of the chapters/volumes and i almost teared up because of how cute the illustration was. i enjoyed the first story too and thought it was cute. i wanted more of it though.

i didn't like this because it was very hard to read for some reason. i don't mind a lot of text in graphic novels, but this one just didn't cut it for me. after the first story, nothing was interesting or engaging. maybe i need to play and love the game to find this book enjoyable but honestly i doubt that. some moments were funny but i can barely remember them. i didn't care for the characters (but for the cute dog).

i really wanted to like this book :(

I want to give a huge thank you to both NetGalley and Oni Press for this eARC! I recently played the video game and was head over heels for the dad jokes, the varied personalities for each Dad, and the honest emotions that spring forth from this mostly comedic dive into the life of a dad trying to meet other dads on a cul-de-sac full of dads.

Wonderfully, the graphic novel has all of these things, and it adds more backstory to the more reclusive and mysterious dads like Robert and Damien. For my first play through on the game, I chose to focus on Joseph, and while I learned a lot about his character, I didn't really get to know anyone else. I really liked that this novel let me see a little peek into everyone's lives, and even gave the children of the other dads more personality and more to do than you get to see in certain story lines in the game!

I loved all of the various animation styles, and how each transition worked for the specific dad that it was focused on. I think my favorite issue in the whole thing was where the dads played DnD, but they were all fantastic little one shots that it's almost too difficult to choose! I really hope there is another volume, because I'm in love with these dads-- or do I smell a animated series next??

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.

This was just as fun and sweet and adorable as the game is. The artwork is all so well done. The different stories are fun and unique. Some of the details will probably be lost on people who didn't play the game, but I'm not sure anyone will pick this up who hasn't played the game. I would have enjoyed more stories that read like a play through of the game instead of just the dad's hanging out, but it was also nice to have stories of them hanging out and being friends.

It was cute and different. I wasn’t aware it was based on a game but even so it was still interesting.
The varying art styles were cool and overall it held my attention throughout.
