Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Comic Book
by Lee C.A., Wendy Xu, Leighton Gray, C. Spike Trotman, Vernon Shaw, Josh Trujillo
Seriously didn't know what I was getting myself into...
Right from the beginning I was having trouble reading this comic. Mainly, the reason is because I grew up reading manga and those are read right-to-left so in a way these westernized comics bring out the dyslexic in me. The dialogue wasn't much to brag about either. In comics, you don't want a lot of dialogue because that is what the illustrations are for. They are suppose to tell the story in a way words can't. And speaking of illustrations, I personally appreciate when the aesthetics and format of the comic stays consistently the same all throughout. This comic however, brought many different drawing styles for every one-shot story. Albeit, each style was commendable individually, but since they are in one comic altogether, that isn't the case. The stories themselves still need a lot of work. The only story I can rightfully praise is the first one-shot. The rest just went downhill from there.
