This collection of comics, based off the popular online game of the same name, are fun, humorous, and incredibly sweet. The range of stories from slice of life family drama like SCIENCE FAIR to more fantastical Dungeon and Dragons send up by different authors offered a fresh variety. Great for fans of the original game and readers looking for a bit of fluff and fun.

I'm a sucker for dating simulator games in general, and DDADDS is one of my personal favourites, so of course I jumped at the chance to read the spin-off comic. And it didn't disappoint!
This comic features five short stories about our favourite dads getting into wacky adventures: Issue #1 is about Craig and Dadsona going to their college reunion; Issue #2 is about Robert trying to figure out whether his new neighbour, Damien, is a vampire; Issue #3 is about all the dads coming together to shoot a commercial for Mat's coffee shop; Issue #4 is about Joseph and Brian getting way too competitive over their kids' science fair projects; and Issue #5 is about all the dads playing D&D.
All the issues are tons of fun, but my personal favourites were #2 & #3. I did find the art styles a bit jarring at first because I'm so used to the art of the game but I got over that pretty quickly as the comic went on. Speaking of the game though, I would definitely not recommend reading this if you haven't either played the game or watched someone play the game. The comic never bothers to explain lots of elements of the characters to you because it assumes you've played the game, so some stuff is going to feel pretty incomplete if you have no context.
Otherwise, this was an extremely fun comic and a nice addition to the DDADDS world, and I would 100% recommend it to anyone who loves the game and these characters.
I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

“I think what we really learned in this issue—er, today—is that art is best made with friends. And that pyrotechnics should be handled by a licensed professional. And that gratuitous movie and television references are an easy way to write a comic when you’re bad at—”

I loved playing Dread Daddy, so when I saw there were comics connected to the game, I was super excited. I didn't love it as much as I thought I would, but I still think all the comics in this lovely collection are extremely enjoyable, fun and full of heart.
My favourite story is by far the first one, probably cause it included a romantic story with the dad character that one played in the game. The other ones focus more on other dads, but that is still lovely. It's more about the friendships and the interactions than actual romance.
This comic also definitely isn't only interesting for people who played the game. It definitely works without knowing that story and still presents such a funny and amazing story.

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!

I really should play the game. I think if I played it, I could have gained more from it. Still a fun cute set of stories.

I've heard of the game but haven't played it, so I was kind of hoping this would be the comic version of the game. I guess it's actually additional adventures? It's cute, but I think people who know the characters would enjoy it a lot more. I was also hoping for more, erm... steam? I guess you could say. I think these are actually fan made stories as well, so that's neat. The art is really pretty and (most of) the characters are enjoyable. Each story is about a different dad and the artists (and writers, I'm guessing) are different, so the styles and tones of each comic are vastly different. But that in itself is pretty cool, seeing all the characters in different people's styles.
