If you don’t already know, Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Comic Book is based off a dating simulator game called, Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator. If you are still unsure, Dream Daddy is a gay dating sim where you play a Dad who finds romance in his new neighbourhood.

If you were ever unsure, yes both the book and game are amazing.

The Dream Daddy comic book is a complied book of the five comics that are currently available. Each are a short little adventure that further explores the characters met in the Dream Daddy game. You don’t have to know the game to read the book but a knowledge of the characters going in does help.

The characters remain true to form with each retaining their individual and endearing natures. The stories told in the book range from romantic in nature, (‘Much Abird about Nothing’) to the trials of fatherhood (‘Fair Deal’) with a good old Dungeons and Dragons game thrown in for good measure (‘Dungeons & Daddies’).

The stand out comic for me though was ‘Let the Right Dad In’ which featured two characters from the game that I hadn’t really connected with, but this new comic made me see in a different light. Due to this really cute, funny, and strange comic I’m going to return to the game and give their story lines a play.

Recommendations: Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Comic Book is an absolute must for anyone who is a fan of the game. If you’re only just finding out about Dream Daddy, then the book is also an amazing introduction to the world around the game and comics.

I would 100% recommend that you check out both the game and the book!

Please note: I received a copy of Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Comic Book from NetGalley.

I loved Dream Daddy the game and the comic was just as wonderful. I loved learning more about Craig and seeing just how Damian and Robert became such good friends. This is the best, purest content I've consumed recently and it was so enjoyable. If you loved the game you'll love the book.

I never played the Dream Daddy game, so I'm not sure I'm the right audience for this, but I didn't get the hype. There was little to no romance in these stories, just as soon as you care about the characters, it's the end of the episode and it's onto another story. The change in art styles was pretty jarring lacked cohesiveness which made it difficult to really get into the stories. Overall, I was just not a fan.

I was given a copy of this in exchange for an honest review from NetGalley.

I've heard quite a bit about Dream Daddy (the dating sim), and I thought reading the comic anthology about the dads would be great. I can solidly say I really enjoyed 3 of the stories, and was charmed by 1 of them, but it's not really an anthology to pick up if you're hoping to get more Gay/Trans!Dad romances. The three stories I enjoyed the most are about Craig, Damien, and Mat, and not so coincidentally these three stories are the ones that hew closest to being romances. If you're looking for just bonus Dads material, I think the whole anthology will be a charming delight, but if you're looking for more romance story-telling, you might be a little disappointed. Either way, it's a sweet series of Dream Daddy stories that will be worth picking up for fans of the game.

This is exactly what I wanted from a Dream Daddy Graphic Novel. Each story has amazing drawings and very distinctly done drawings at that. If you know about the game and have enjoyed it in the past this is a must have graphic novels. It's incredibly good feeling and a fun time to read.

After two issues I was ready to five star this but issue 3 was just okay and I hated pretty much everything about issue 4 (boring story and dull almost child-focused artwork). Thankfully everything was redeemed in issue 5.
Issue 1 and 5 vie for my favourite issues of the collection. Both have excellent artwork and stories that really appeal to me, a classic romance premise in issue 1 and a DnD night in issue 5.
Issue 2 comes in a close third.
Recommend for those 3 issues. And I'll be trying to get this for my print collection.

This was very cute! This includes five different stories following the dads from the dating simulator game and they were all different and fun to read. I would say having previous knowledge of the game is helpful to have some context of the characters' personalities and priorities, although it's certainly not necessary. The art was beautiful, that was definitely my favorite part of it.

I have never played the game before but I have heard of it so didn’t really have any thoughts on the comic before going into it but for me I don’t know wether it would be better to know the story/game before going into this cause I don’t think it was really for me It did have amazing art throughout from many artists but I just thought the different stories they had about different dads could of been better in explaining about the men’s backstories for anyone who doesn’t know the game or anything about it and if there is gonna be anymore volumes coming would really love to see more of the relationships throughout the books such as in the first issue we had lgbtq story and I really did enjoy that aspect and story maybe my favourite out of the five and I liked the last story aswell how we saw all the dads together playing RPG game and loved the contrast between real world and game world..
Another opinion I would have about it is wouldn love is some were longer because just needed more and I think I would of liked it better.

Overall it was enjoyable loved the art I did like the characters in it with all different attributes and I think I would try another volume to see where they lead.

I was definitely out aware of the Dream Daddy game so really wished there was a bit of backstory to the characters. The illustrations have a cute, fun quality to them yet I was not anticipating where the stories would go. Entertaining but initially confusing given no knowledge of the characters.

For fans of the game, this comic is a fun little addition to help deal with the fact that we aren't getting expansions/DLC. The covers for each issue are fantastic, and so totally worth it alone, but the stories are all pretty sweet too. I like that our main character (the player character) is different in each one to reflect that the player can customize him however we like.

The art in the first story can be a little flat, but employs good use of the blank dot eyes (which are an option in-game), and is a heartwarming story about Craig (or as I call him, Fitness Dad), worrying about a high school reunion while getting closer to the main character. Also, seagulls. Those bastards.

The second story focuses on introducing Robert (Cryptid Dad) and Damien (best boy) to each other, with Mary in the mix. This one was definitely weird, but that's what you'd expect from that combination of people. The art is effective with emotions, and plays with the weirdness of this story, even going into black and white briefly.

Though speaking of weird, the third story really goes off the rails. It's funny if you know things like film theory and basically anything Robert says in this one, but for a story that's supposed to be focused on Mat (Music Dad), there's not a lot of Mat in it. I was also not crazy about the more chibi art style of this one, which kind of distracted from the overall story.

The fourth story is definitely my least favorite, but that's partially because it focuses on Brian (Braggy Dad), who is my least favorite. The art is absolutely adorable though; it reminds me of Trolls or Steven Universe. Also, aren't the twins supposed to largely not talk? They sure did a lot of talking.

In my completely biased opinion, the last story was the best. Because Dad D&D. But also, it addresses some of the problems of people who play tabletops: the player who thinks they should DM, the player who's just there because everyone else is, the player who's way over-dedicated to their character...it's all there. Also the art in this one is solid, great at making sure the reader knows when we're looking at characters vs players.

So overall it's fun, but you aren't getting a deep, inside story to any particular Dad. Just some sweet fluffy feels and fun, which is good too.

An enjoyable addition to the Dream Daddy game, it gives us a few seperate stories that develop the different romance-able Dads from the game and gives them more time to shine. It features a lot of different artists and writers, and there is sure to be something for everyone's taste. I didn't like all stories the same, either for art style or ease of writing (some panels were so full of dialogue it got confusing) but overall a quick and easy read.

This was so fun! I hadn't played the game when I started reading this, even though it had been on my list since it was released, but I went out and bought it halfway through because I enjoyed this so much!

Having never played the game Dream Daddies myself (but I have seen other people play and I am familiar with all the characters) I was really excited to read this comic. I didn't realize going in that each story would be by a different author and illustrator but I really enjoyed that aspect of the book. My favorite story was the last, Dungeon Daddies. As a big nerd, that story was fantastic! I loved the thought of all the daddies together playing a game together and hanging out. Each of the individual stories had their own nuances which I appreciated. I liked all of the stories and the artwork for each one as well. I would highly recommend this comic to any fans of the game Dream Daddies or just fans of daddies in general.

A thousand thanks to Oni Press and NetGalley for this advanced copy!

If you’re a fan of the game, than this comic is an essential! Casually, though, it was simply a fun, goofy, fast queer read.

Each vignette focuses on a different “Dad” from the Maple Bay cul-de-sac, and some were more interesting than others. The art style and coloring were different for each separate story, which was also kind of neat, but again: some worked out great, and a few were just “meh”. Honestly, a majority of it was too cute for my taste, but I enjoyed the lightness of the humor— a good fluff read.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE DADS. I've played the Dream Daddy game one time for each dad option. The art is so well done and I'm glad to have more time with the Dads. Great stories for every dad!

I'm so happy this book exists! I loved the game, I thought it was too cute. This book has several Daddy stories written by various authors compiled into one comic book. It's basically just little meet-cute stories where gay dads meet each other and hopefully end up kissing.

I had hoped this would be better, to be honest. The artwork variety is cute and it has great gay rep. Other than that, not much going for it. It wasn't interesting, but rather boring. I would recommend playing the game if you're at all drawn to this comic book. Would probably only read it if it's free. 2 stars.

I love the Dream Daddy game and this comic is cute with some amazing art. I loved all the stories and my favorite is the story with Rober and Damien. I would recomend this to anyone eho loved the game and any one who wants to read something with LGBTQ representation.

I loved this!! I definitely had a couple of favourite issues, but they were all so good. I have played the Dream Daddy game, but I really enjoyed this book regardless. The art is also very beautiful.

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.

LMAO FINALLY I'M ABLE TO READ THIS.

I've known Dream Daddy as a game from a gamer youtube channel and wondered when can I play this one *coughpoorworker* and then! There! Is! A! Comic! Adaptation!

I love all the stories inside, but particularly Let the RIght Dad In. It's such a hilarious misunderstanding (or is it? wink) that shatter the image of Robert as the coolest baddest dad in town for me since I saw him on that gaming channel lol.
