Solid 4 stars for me! A strong and beautifully illustrated start and I'm definitely interested in reading the next volume. I thought the way they harnessed the angels' powers was especially cool.

Let me just start by saying it's been a long time since I've read a graphic novel or manga so I don't have too much I can remember well enough to compare this to. But I really enjoyed this, and I thought the art style was beautiful! (If nothing else, it's worth buying just to look at the beautiful visuals.)

Beyond the visuals, the story was enjoyable, too! Definite Warrior Nun vibes but such an inclusive cast of characters and they're all FINE too. Sunny has my heart. Love the gothic color palette and just the whole style in general. I did find the dialogue a bit YA / cheesy at times but it didn't bother me too much and I thought that otherwise, the plot was pretty fast-paced and intriguing.

Overall, I would recommend! Makes me wanna read more comics and manga again. Already rooting for Sunny and Ezra too. Talk about grumpy x sunshine!

Or KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY. Give me the second volume right now because it's great.

I started this story without expecting much and ended up totally in love with the story, the characters and what could happen. When I got to the last page I was trying to go to the next page AND THERE WAS NO NEXT ONE. Suddenly it's over!! AS!!!! Impossible. I did not want to.

A pleasant surprise, a story with great diversity and representation, with a most interesting and captivating plot. The art is BEAUTIFUL, and the fact that it is all in color gives it a special touch (I am always very used to reading in black and white).

The truth is that I really fell in love with the story. I look forward to the continuation!

Thank you!! Thank you Oni ​​Press for the ARC I read on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I always love when people play with religion in new ways and narratives. I liked this a lot! Nice action sequences, a little silly, very fun read. The art is seamless and shiny, really excited to see how it continues!

I found it mostly boring.

This was my last chance to truly enjoy a web comic adapted. I won't be picking up anymore of them.

This was just not for me! I thought it'd be a cool spin in general but it was a bit more religious-focused for my taste.

I loved the character designs and the pieces of worldbuilding that were revealed in this book. Some of it was confusing at first, but most of those things were straightened out over time. The character plots and developments were intensely interesting, and I look forward to seeing how they play out.

My main complaint is that this volume was just too short for anything to really move forward.

thank you netgalley and oni press for the arc!

i loved this! i loved the art and the complex yet easy to follow plot! i also loved the characters, specially samson lmao, and the pace of the story. can't belive i'm left with a cliffhanger, but this is a story i am most definitely following!!!

I. am. OBSESSED.

Samson and Ezra's sibling dynamic? The family bonds of the church? The instant connection between Ezra and Sunny? THE GORGEOUS ART!?

Ughhhh, gimme gimme gimme!

I am really intrigued by the premise of this series. I have already fallen in love with that characters and can't wait to find out more about their histories and how things are going to play out. I'm also super interested to find out how Sunny fits in to everything. The only thing I have not enjoyed so far is the greater church as it seemed like they just kind of appeared with little explanation and then didn't stay around for too long before they were gone again. i think a bit more time with them would have made it even better, but seriously, this is an amazing start and I'm already now following the series on Webtoons as there's no way I can wait for the next volume!

I loved the art and setting of the comic very much, im looking forward to seeing it published for sure !

*Thank you to NetGalley and Oni Press for providinf me this ebook in exchange for an honest review*

I didn't get the story of Covenant and even though I love graphic novels, this I guess wasn't my cup of tea. The only thing I loved was the illustrations so cudos for that. But the story, lacked. Maybe I'm not so familiar with manga style graphic novels. I don't know. Aside from that the illustrations were beautiful and hence the 3,5 stars.

Thank you to the publisher and the author for giving me a free e-ARC of Covenant Vol. 1.

As someone who is interested in:
1.) the concept of the Church
2.) sibling angst
3.) priests vs. exorcists
4.) breathtaking graphics

I very much adored this book. It was such a good introduction to the world building and the characters. For me, sometimes it's hard to understand graphic novels, but that was not the case for this. Everything was well so put, and I couldn't ask for anything more for an introduction.

I received a copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

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.

This was a fun introduction to this world. While the characters aren't fleshed out you have an understanding on who everyone is and some of their personality traits.

This volume does end on a cliff hanger so I will be anxiously awaiting the next volume.

I think that people who like Constantine and Warrior Nun would really enjoy this.

Thanks so much to Oni Press from giving me an EARC.

I have been following LySandra Vuong on social media for forever and have always loved this series, so it's great to see it in a full compilation! Entertaining with attractive characters (nuns and priests and demons and angels and all) and set in a cool world with the sickest tattoos.

The start was a bit harder for me but after a few pages this story became addictive. I love the premises of it and the characters. I can't wait to continue the series.

Well the illustration and premise got me right away. I've loved that web comics are getting publisher deals and we can now have a physical copy in our hands!

I wasn't sure what to expect, but I laughed more than I thought I would. The characters are quiet comedic towards one another, a bit of a brotherhood. I loved it. I still have so many questions about Ezra and looking forward to his development as the series continues especially with Sunny.

I really enjoyed volume 1 and I can't wait to read the next one. I'll definitely be ordering this for my bookshelf!

Lysandra's art is absolutely stunning and fits so well with the story.

A digital copy was provided through Netgalley from Oni Press, the review is honest and my own opinion.

Binge reading multiple chapters of a webtoon? Sign me up! Now this is my first time reading a manga that’s been collected into a book, so I was anticipating being able to read the whole story. My mistake, I know. So aside from the let down of not getting to read the full story, I think this first book was a good start for the world building and introducing the main couple. But the world building was about 90% of the book, we barely got anything about the MCs love interest. He was introduced…around for maybe the equivalent of 2-3 chapters and then cliffhanger. Not cool. Makes me want to go on strike, like I would for a webtoon, come back in a year and see how much further the stories gotten. If experience is any indication, the story won’t have progressed much further but there will be peak romantic tension. So maybe this will be peak webtoon greatness in 2 years.

I enjoyed this! The art is gorgeous and the tone has serious moments with humor too! Thank you for the opportunity to read this <3 I will recommend it to others who I think would enjoy it too!

An engaging start to a longer story. I can see teens enjoying this, and I appreciate the queernormative world.

I liked the story set up in this graphic novel – those tattooed exorcists with guns fighting demons for human souls were cool. But, even though there were interesting parts, I didn't get as into it as I wanted. I just couldn't connect with the characters, and I think the story needed more time to develop. This happens to me a lot in the first volumes of graphic novels – they don't give me enough to really care about the characters. Still, I think it's a fun story and a good start to a series.
