This was cute, campy, and fun. It was a much needed detox from heavier subjects I was reading at the time. I would read a volume 2. The stories are uneven and the art varies based on style. I didn't care for all the stories, but it was a lot of fun regardless.
Dream Daddy follows the five dads of Maple Bay, their families and lives. In the game, you get to date them but here its a little focus of their relationships between them. They're all friends and we see their everyday fights/family moments/cuteness.
There are 5 issues, each focus on a different character, with different artists and storylines. I was delighted with every single page, the artists made an amazing job in creating interesting but different moments. Plus everything it's super adorable and heartwarming.
I know I'll be rereading this story when I need something nice.
I received a copy through Netgalley in exchange an honest review.

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.

I got an ARC from net gallery in exchange for a review.
I felt this was a great addition to your collection if you like the game. All the dads are featured. 5 comics in all that complete the collection. My favorite was the second, with Damien and Robert.

This comic book features 5 short stories with the dads from the game Dream Daddy. With different writing and art styles from different creators, it is an enjoyable and light read. There are also different types of stories: romance, a little bit of mystery/thriller and even some fantasy. The last story with the dads playing D&D was super funny to me because my D&D campaign goes precisely the same.
If you played the game, this is a must-read for you. However, I'm not sure others will enjoy it to its fullest. And that’s because they don’t know these characters and their personalities aren’t really explored, it’s assumed the reader already knows them.

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.

Honestly died at Robert and Damien's issue. Damien was my favorite and the only route I finished so I'm biased anyway. Either way this is a collection of fun and cute short stories starring a bunch of sweet dads and their kids.
