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—”
