I am sorry for the inconvenience but I don’t have the time to read this anymore and have lost interest in the concept. I believe that it would benefit your book more if I did not skim your book and write a rushed review. Again, I am sorry for the inconvenience.

I really liked this. I'm curious to see how it continues. The fact that they're using dream analysis while in their dreams to help them is cool.

This book was received as an ARC from Papercutz through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

Nightmares and lack of sleep is something we all experience either in our lifetime, and/or currently. Insomnia is no laughing matter, and the brilliance of Franck Thillez adapting the issue into a fun, creative, and intriguing story is something to write about. Even though the target audience is for young readers, after I finished reading this book, the Nightmare Brigade will be my go to bedtime story before I fall asleep for the fictional security ill have in my dreams. The language, structure, and execution of The Nightmare Brigade was brilliantly done that young readers will gravitate toward this book enjoying a captivating story, as well as learning how to go to bed happy, and be well rested the next day.

A book with a creative story, and long lasting valuable lesson. This book deserves 5 stars.

'The Nightmare Brigade #1: The Case of The Girl from Deja Vu' by Franck Thilez with art by Yomgui Dumont is a graphic novel about a team that helps solve nightmares from the inside.

Esteban and Tristan are a team of nightmare fighters. When they meet a young girl named Sarah, they may be in over their head. Her nightmare shows as a city behind a big wall. Grownups run around trying to capture children.

It's a good premise, but seems like child endangerment, if I think about it too much. The art could have been a bit cleaner for my taste.

My biggest gripe it that it is really short and ends on a cliffhanger, but there's a lot of potential for this to be an interesting new series for middle-grade readers. Two boys, (one is adopted and has no memories before the past 3 years) work with their adoptive father, a Doctor who cures kids of their persistent nightmares. They do this by traveling INTO the nightmares, finding the cause and talking the kids through their trauma. There is a lot of mystery surrounding both the Doctor and his adopted son, plus a mysterious patient in a locked room. Oooooh... spooky!!!

Before I could finish reading this book it got archived and there's no way I can review a book I didn't finish reading.

Cute story with beautiful illustrations

Ultimately, although the plot was enticing, the characters were quite unlikeable and the story dragged on for me.

Which is why I DNF this book, and rated it overall at 1.5 stars

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* pretty cool! would have loved this as a kid, creepy with cool characters and amazing art!

I enjoyed this sample and wish I had access to the entire book. I like it enough to preorder it anyway.

A lovely comic book with un unusual theme: Solving the dreams of troubled sleepers by sending real people into their imagined world, and fixing their deepest anxieties... a promising idea heightened with mysteries about the hero's identity, the patient's identity and strange scientific experiments. The heroes are teens, marking it as a YA comic with pleasant cartoonish illustrations. It doesn't take itself seriously, moves at a fast pace, and is in general a neat read. I enjoyed it and recommend it to people who want a milder "Stranger Things"-like story. I would have liked a little more characterisation to actually get attached to the protagonists, but for the short length of this work it manages to build an intriguing world, I definitely want to read the next one.

The Nightmare Brigade is the story of a group of children with one goal, to help people get rid of their worst nightmares. They infiltrate nightmares, seek out its root, and destroy the cause. This is a preview of the first 46 pages. The final book will be a total of 112 pages.

The letters and the art have a disconnect for me. I am hoping that it is just the scans for the review copy, but until I see the final book I won’t know for sure. The art has a very soft and almost blurry focus to it while the letters look really crisp. For me it just made it look like they didn’t belong together. It is a translated book so some of that is to be expected.

I love the idea behind the story, it is a fun premise and just a little bit creepy. Maybe it is because I only had the first few pages, but I felt like I was just starting to getting into the story and it was over. For now I am giving it 3 stars, but that might change if I get a chance to read the full graphic novel.

Rating: 3.25 🌟
First and foremost, I'd like to express my gratitude to Netgalley for providing me with an e-ARC of this graphic novel.
The first half of the story was somewhat puzzling for me, and as it progressed, I have become more engaged in the plot. Visiting someone's dream and becoming a part of it was a fascinating thought.

The Nightmare Brigade left a captivating impression. This is only a sample, but I will definitely be checking it out when comes out.

In a mysterious clinic, there is a secret door that leads into the world of a person's nightmares. We follow two boys, Tristan and Esteban, as they try to uncover the reason behind the nightmares. I would love to know more about the mechanics of all of this and how it came to be. Also, Esteban's backstory ought to be intriguing. The artwork is great though I wish they went with a different font for the speech bubbles.

Exciting comic & definitely on my radar!

This is a little sample and not the whole story but it caught my attention. The art style is really beautiful and the story sounds promising based on what i've read so far. It's compelling and unique so i'll give it a try once it's out because i definitely believe it might be an excellent story

an interesting story, captivating from the first pages.
the graphics are great and guide the reading carefully

The Nightmare Brigade is a dream team led by Professor Angus. With his two young sidekicks, 14 year-olds Esteban and Tristan, they have one goal: help people get rid of their worst nightmares. With unique skills, the team members can literally infiltrate their patient’s nightmare to seek its root and destroy the cause. 

What a great concept! Someone being able to go into your worst nightmares, determine what the root of them is, and help you stop them. Being someone who has night terrors, I would love a Nightmare Brigade.

This was just volume 1 of what I hope is a long series of comics. I enjoyed the artwork, I liked the characters and I really want to know what secret the professor is hiding about Tristan and Sarah.
From the publisher’s blurb, I learn there is Then, an insomniac is invading other’s dreams. How does he do it and how can he be stopped? It’s a paranormal story you won’t want to sleep on! That is in future volumes I assume, and I can’t wait. I’m bookmarking the publisher and Author now so I don’t miss the next episode.

Highly recommended

Thanks to @Netgalley, Papercutz, and Frank Thillez for the opportunity to read this Arc in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion

I liked this comic but it was clearly too short. Indeed, we quickly go on an adventure with Tristan and Esteban but we don't get much explanation about this nightmare clinic and how it works. Moreover, Tristan is also a character surrounded by mystery, as well as Sarah in the end. It's all these unanswered questions that bothered me a bit but I'm hopeful that the sequel will fix everything.
I still have a good memory of my reading because I found the concept promising and I managed to get into the story. I read it in one go, quite quickly in fact because I wanted to know what was going to happen. The drawings are very nice, a bit gloomy so perfect for the thriller atmosphere of this comic.
I recommend it mainly to children and teenagers who like science fiction and mystery.
3.5/5

What an intriguing sample! The Nightmare Brigade has an interesting premise, and even more interesting art, which is both dark and whimsical, cartoony and mature. Think Tim Burton.

This graphic novels follows two boys who work with their "father" to stop kids from having nightmares. It's at times hard to follow, but ultimately very unsettling with lots of intrigue and gray morality. I think my students will like this because of its spookier elements, and the very real teen issues that the characters deal with. I wonder if they'll appreciate the art style, because its very different then what they're used to. But I will encourage them to give this a shot. I'm so interested in what happens next in this new, exciting and weird world.

This wasn't the complete book, it was only a sample but I was hooked. The Nightmare Brigade #1 was so interesting and definitely hooked you from the beginning. The illustrations were great and the storyline was fantastic. Very interesting and I like how it kind of linked dreams/nightmares to what you might fear, which is a great way to view things and can explain a lot to young adults. Looking forward to the full release of The Nightmare Brigade.

As always thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for letting me read a free E-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this first volume, the art was creepy and interesting and any story about entering dreams usually grabs my attention right away. This is only the start of a much longer story, really just setting up the big questions to unfold throughout and how the rules of the work and the dreams will work. Although it's most set up it's very entertaining and well written and drawn.

If you are a fan of mystery with a possible horror edge and also just are big comic fans I think this will be a fun read for you as it was for me. Plus I love how freaky dreams can get and I hope they do so in later chapters when dealing with nightmares. Wish it was longer but that more so I would have more to enjoy but overall a quite good start to a series I hope to read more of.
