*I was given a copy of The Dream Factory in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to Europe Comics, David Boriau and Goum.*

Synopsis:

Living with narcolepsy is no picnic. Andy falls asleep everywhere, all the time, especially at the most critical moments. But one day, his condition gives him the opportunity to discover The Dream Factory. Posing as an intern, the teenager infiltrates the organization created to regulate everyone’s dreams and nightmares. With security agents hot on his tail, Andy is determined to find out why he falls asleep so often…

Review:

The title and cover are what 100% drew me into this graphic novel and I have to say, the art style did not disappoint. It is phenomenal, potentially one of my favourites ever and that is a seriously bold statement. The colouring was stunning, every single page was a joy to look at and it’s all so clean. 

Unfortunately, the story is where The Dream Factory fell short. It was a really interesting concept that I’d like to see more of, but it was ridiculously fast-paced and I had no clue what was going on half the time. 

I think this would have benefitted from being a longer graphic novel, 63 pages were not enough to introduce the characters, and dream world and expand the plot. There is no character development and outside of having narcolepsy, you don’t know anything about the main character.  

I’d be open to reading another installment of this in the future as I am curious about what is happening and I’ll be giving it a very average 2.5 stars as the artwork was incredible.
