Covenant, Vol. 1 (Covenant, #1)
LySandra Vuong
Discover Lysandra Vuong's hit supernatural action Webtoon Covenant in print for the first time ever. "If you need a comic that blends action fantasy with mythology, comedy, and punk gothic fashion, Covenant is wildly enjoyable." -Women Write About Comics In a world where priests are decked out in holy tattoos and brandish machine guns in the face of demons, a powerful exorcist and a mysterious boy cross paths . . . in a college classroom. Erza’s faith is waning when God intervenes and sends him on a mission to protect Sunny, an outwardly normal human, from demonic forces. Looks can be deceiving, however, as Sunny proves to have hidden secrets and a bloody past nipping at his heels. Between Erza’s sunny sarcasm, and Sunny’s closed-off distant demeanor, the two struggle to find any common ground to bridge the gap. Yet, as much as the two bicker and retain distance, neither can help but be drawn to the other. With his church under scrutiny and the threat of war on the horizon, will Ezra find his conviction in time to keep Sunny safe? Will Sunny even accept his help? Or will they both suffer the consequences?? From debut creator LySandra Vuong comes the first volume of the supernatural action webcomic that explores religious faith, a slow burn queer romance, the weight of destiny, and what it means to be good in a world plagued by demons. This volume collects episodes 1–18 of the hit WEBTOON comic Covenant.

Episodes 1-18 of LySandra Vuong's webtoon Covenant has been collected into a bound volume published by Oni Press. Readers follow Ezra, a rookie exorcist in service of the Church of Providence as he furthers his covenant with the archangels. Covenants are given in the form of holy tattoos through which exorcists can call on the powers of the archangels to aid them in their fight against demonkind. The Church of Providence has enemies in the Great Church seeking to excommunicate them, demons are spawning in rates out of control, and Ezra has received a mission directly from Archangel Gabriel to protect Sunny Nguyen. But Ezra can't find the conviction to believe in God, so what's a budding exorcist to do?
This volume is high action and fast-paced with tons of strings left dangling for future plot to unfurl. The volume is full color with a really cool art style and an inversion on the common demon/angel trope. The archangels appear in a black color scheme where the demons appear in white. The tattoos and symbols are intricate and beautiful. With hints of a slow burn queer romance to come, this is a great introductory volume for Covenant.
I really enjoyed this work and am eager to continue with Ezra and Sunny's story. I am excited to hold this beautiful art in print and many congratulations to Vuong on her continued success.

Everything about this book was a hit for me. The art style? Stunning. The plot? So interesting. The characters? Intriguing. It truly hit every mark for me when it comes to graphic novels.
The moment I saw the cover for this it went straight to my most anticipated releases list for the year and I’m so glad it didn’t disappoint. I’m very excited to see where the story goes in the next volume as it did feel like this first one was mostly setting up the story.
I’m especially excited to learn more about Sunny and why the demons are hunting him. I’m very intrigued by every character we’ve met so far, honestly! I hope we get more back story on each of the characters and get to know them more in the future. They all are designed in the coolest way possible, I want to be all of them.
PS I have a crush on Samson.
