Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Comic Book by Lee C.A., Wendy Xu, Leighton Gray, C. Spike Trotman, Vernon Shaw, Josh Trujillo

3.0

I've never actually played the Dream Daddy game that these comics are based upon, so I will admit that my knowledge here is a little limited. Instead, I was curious about whether the stories presented here would be possible to follow without prior knowledge of the franchise, as well as whether it was still entertaining to go in fresh. Overall, I was reasonably pleased. The characters are varied, diverse, and interesting. I never felt like my prior unfamiliarity was held against me, and I found myself getting interested in the stories quickly. With that said, however, while newcomers can definitely enter into this comic without prior knowledge and not lose out on anything, there are a ton of different characters, so I imagine I still would have gotten more out of this graphic novel if I had previously played the game. Still, this was a fun time and I'm glad I gave it a shot.

I got a copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
