This is a stupidly cute graphic novel about our world renowned Dracula! In this turn of events our world class vampire is running a very popular brunch spot!

This story was goofy, cozy, and a fun Sunday read that will have you giggling! The art is just bloody amazing!! You will absolutely love the art if you enjoyed cartoons in the 90s and early 2000s!

5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A story about a friendly vampire not easily impressed by cheesy puns and trying to make the perfect blood orange jelly-filled doughnut for his own vampire brunch club.
With a light-hearted, slightly spooky and altogether cosy mix of text and illustrations, the book's story is very reminiscent of a classic Sunday morning cartoon.

Thank you NetGalley and Oni Press for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book has puns and jokes perfect for a child or a young teenager. It’s a fun graphic novel that would be very easy for a child to read.

It felt to me (to be fair) as an adult a bit repetitive but the concept was very amusing.

The character illustrations were perfect and very expressive. They really gave Nickelodeon vibes!

Thank you for the advance copy, Oni Press!

In Dracula's Brunch Club, Brian Gonsar takes a normally dark subject (vampires) and makes it endearing. There is a sinister aspect to the overarching plot, but Keenan Gaybba's illustrations are fun and playful, even with the muted color palette (it is always night time, after all). His style evokes greats like Gravity Falls and Fairly OddParents whilst retaining its own identity. Though this is aimed primarily toward the younger crowd, I found it to be ridiculously cute. I'll definitely be picking up a copy upon release.

A cute adaptation on Count Dracula. The vampires start off eating jelly donuts made from Blood Oranges. Dracula is preparing for his upcoming brunch and a charity event when suddenly he realizes that there are not oranges or jelly to be found despite sending huge shipments of them back to the village. This mystery is a fun romp as you try to figure out what happened and watch as the local vampires discover something even more tasty than jelly. Even better, the back of the book has donut recipes!

ARC was given by NetGalley & Oni Press.

For the fans of Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, and Hotel Transylvania, this graphic novel is for you! This was really delightful to read and I thought it was such a unique way of doing vampires. I loved that Dracula was a chef and enjoyed baking. It was really wholesome! However, I found a lot of things in this story very predictable. With all of this being said, I think this is a really great fast paced read that many readers will enjoy especially middle grade readers. I think there's a lot of references they'll find humorous and enjoyable.



All thoughts, feelings, experiences, and opinions are honest and my own.

I received this DRC from NetGalley.

The art was fun. The style reminded me a bit of Clone High. The story fell a bit flat for me, though. It started out as a fun twist on vampires, but then just ended up turning into a regular vampire story with a trite ending. I would have liked for the female character to have a better, less lame ending.

This was adorable. I love that the entire thing was in color, and that it has recipes at the back! The art work is gorgeous, and actually had a nice message in it. Definitely something I'd say children/middle schoolers could read, and would get the message of inclusion and how it's important. Lovely little read.

Thank you to NetGalley and Oni Press for the opportunity to read Dracula’s Brunch Club by Brian Gonsar and Keenan Gaybba.

This was cute and funny. I enjoyed this story and am now craving donuts! The sarcasm and jokes add so much to this story.

I highly recommend!

Loved it! It was fun and heartwarming and it felt very nostalgic, similar to the golden era of Cartoon Network.
100% would recommend for all ages!

Dracula's Brunch Club is a colourful, funky comic that follows vampires with famous names like Vlad and Orlok, but above all Count Dracula, the renowned creator of delicious doughnuts. Dracula is about to suffer a disastrous shortage of ingredients and a political U-turn!
This is a very enjoyable read for young readers, with a good touch of humour and a Hotel Transylvania vibe mixed with Gravity Falls.
I wasn't at all expecting the foreword by Kevin Jonas (one of the Jonas Brothers) at the beginning!
Not to mention the little doughnut recipe at the end, which is the icing on the cake!

This was so fun!! What a great middle grade graphic novel - the characters and plot are so fun and the style is perfect too. This is one I'd love to read and re read with time!

What an utter disappointment. The cover is perfection. The idea is perfection. Everything was anything but perfection. I wanted to love this but I simply could not.

I recieved a digital ARC of this graphic novel from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for review.

Dracula’s Brunch Club is a fun graphic novel featuring a Count Dracula returning from his jelly travels to find that not everything has stayed the same in his absence. All the jelly he has sent home is missing and all the fruit crops are dead. What will Dracula do to stay in the Vampire Brunch Club? How will he provide the donuts for the auction?

This graphic novel is so cute and I loved the illustration style. The story was fun and fast-paced. I enjoyed all the characters and the overall plot.

I struggled with this graphic novel. I think the animation and color just didn't fit what I wanted and I found the story slow and a bit boring. I appreciate the humor of a vampire enjoying jelly filled donuts, but the plot didn't come together for me nor capture my interest.

I'd like to start of with saying that I absolutely loved the small punchlines and jokes about being undead, a vampire and with the blood. I had a few chuckle moments! The art feels cozy and fun and is pleasant to read. It's a very fun and original concept and I was super interested in the story all throughout. Loved this graphic novel!

This graphic novel is fun for ALL ages! The artwork is stunning and this graphic novel gave me all the laughs. Dracula was a loveable character and as a fan of vampires, I wholeheartedly am about to make this comic my entire personality!

This would be a fun book to buddy read with your child (or any child!) who likes spooky things and Halloween. The humor was light and the art style felt very nostalgic for me; reading it felt like watching an episode of The Fairly Odd Parents or Danny Phantom. The conflict? Jelly donuts! I mean, how fun. Speaking of jelly, it would be a great exercise to assign kids to count the number of times it’s mentioned in the book, because it’s quite a lot. I could even see a teacher doing this as a challenge for their students. As an adult with no kids, I wasn’t exactly the target audience for reading this, and I did find it quite on the young side (I would like to say this is more for elementary school kids than middle grade), it was still enjoyable and a lighthearted read compared to the big kid spooky books I’m always reading, haha. The humor was good and I enjoyed the funny facial expressions the characters would make. I also liked how there were several different vampires from popular culture featured. Another detail I really appreciated was how consistent the color palette is. There’s lots of kids books out there that are just every bright color under the sun all on one page and it’s kind of an eyesore- but with this one each page has a distinct color palette (with few exceptions) that made it feel smooth and cohesive, and oddly I found it comforting.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this book for kids and think it’s an enjoyable one for adults as well.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me a copy 💜

A fun, humorous read with great characters and a brilliant art style.

I loved the throw back to old school vampires and their lifestyles. The characters were interesting to read about and all were extremely funny.

The plot was great and easy to follow. The perfect comic for kids!

Dracula having a donut brunch club? Sign me up! This was absolutely adorable, funny, and cute. If you like graphic novels, specifically spooky wholesome vampires or food, this is for you! I loved the art style, I loved ALL of the puns, I loved all the banter between the characters. I loved Dracula loving jelly donuts and just jelly in general. I absolutely loved the cover of this, as well. I will be buying a copy when it comes out to read with my son. It is definitely a good autumn read.

Thank you to the illustrators and authors, publishers, and netgalley for this!
