A review by melycp
The Dream Factory by David Boriau, Goum

2.5

The title and cover are what 100% drew me into this graphic novel and I have to say, the art style did not disappoint. It is phenomenal, potentially one of my favourites ever and that is a seriously bold statement. The colouring was stunning, every single page was a joy to look at and it’s all so clean. 

Unfortunately, the story is where The Dream Factory fell short. It was a really interesting concept that I’d like to see more of, but it was ridiculously fast-paced and I had no clue what was going on half the time. 

I think this would have benefitted from being a longer graphic novel, 63 pages were not enough to introduce the characters, and dream world and expand the plot. There is no character development and outside of having narcolepsy, you don’t know anything about the main character.  

I’d be open to reading another installment of this in the future as I am curious about what is happening and I’ll be giving it a very average 2.5 stars as the artwork was incredible.
