To save her people, princess Clove the last remaining heir of the Cerulean Dragon clan must marry her greatest enemy the heir to the Crimson Dragon clan, prince Kyro. I really liked this graphic novel, the art is gorgeous and the story is interesting so far. I can’t wait to see what happens in vol 2.

Thank you Netgalley and Oni Press for sending me a ARC of this graphic novel.

I absolutely love this series and have been following it since the beginning, so I jumped at the chance to review it. Subzero blends fantasy, romance, and political intrigue into a visually stunning and emotionally charged narrative. The first volume has already established a strong foundation, drawing readers into its richly imagined world and complex character dynamics.

Clove is a well-crafted protagonist, balancing her royal responsibilities with her personal struggles. Her strength and vulnerability make her a relatable and compelling character. Kyro, on the other hand, is enigmatic and brooding, with layers of complexity that slowly unravel as the story progresses. Their chemistry is electric, filled with tension and moments of genuine connection.

The artwork is breathtaking. The detailed character designs, vibrant color palettes, and dynamic action sequences elevate the storytelling. The use of dragon symbolism and motifs throughout adds depth to the narrative, emphasizing the cultural significance and power struggles central to the plot. The story explores themes of duty, sacrifice, and the pursuit of peace following the two different nations. The political intrigue adds a layer of complexity to the romance, making it more than just a love story. The conflicts between personal desires and greater good are portrayed with nuance, creating a sense of realism within the fantastical setting.

The first volume of Subzero is an excellent start to what promises to be an engaging and emotionally resonant series. The combination of strong characters, beautiful artwork, and intricate plotting makes it a must-read for fans of fantasy and romance. The story's pacing is well-balanced, providing enough action and emotional beats to keep readers hooked.

I followed this comic when it first started on WEBTOON, and I’ve been in love with the art and story from the very beginning. Anyone with iOS will know that app can be frustrating, so I can’t express how excited I am to finally have it on my shelf at home.

The story grips you immediately. The art is meticulously done. The artist’s choice of colors adds an extra layer of depth because each one has a symbolic meaning within the story.

If you like dragons, magic, enemies to lovers, romance, gorgeous art, and amazing storytelling—get this asap. You absolutely will not regret it.

Strong start for an enemies to lovers romance where they are each tied to dragons/turn into dragons. There is some intrigue afoot as well and plenty of room for character growth.

This is total fantasy with no historical context. It's fun and seems good for older YA and adult readers.

I'm interested to see where it goes since right now I'm reading eating popcorn and dying to know what happens next.

As the last heir of the Cerulean Dragon, Clove agrees to leave the only home she's ever known to join in a political marriage in order to end the 300 year war with the Crimson Empire. Thrust into this new Empire, it is hard to tell who Clove can trust. As tensions run high Clove must work with Kyro to help prevent the peace between the two empires before it's too late.

I was so excited to see that SubZero was being published! I loved this Volume and I can't wait to read Volume two. The chemistry between Clove and Kyro is the perfect enemies to lovers vibe. The storyline is really intense and it's hard to tell where the next threat is going to come from. I highly recommend this one for anyone who is a fan of Manga and Webtoons!

Thank you to Net Galley for allowing me to read this one in exchange for an honest review.

The most enjoyable part of this graphic novel was definitely the artwork. It's full of vibrant, pretty illustrations that kept me reading this one.

As for the story I thought it was quite a shallow, 'samey' to other dragon based science fiction, and it was quite a slow read for me personally. I was confused by some of the character's actions throughout, and honestly you have to pick your brain to figure out what is going on. I kept on reading this as I thought the story had potential, but the first volume dragged things out a bit too much for seemingly no reason.

I'm not sure if I feel this way as I haven't previously read the webtoon and went in blind, but nothing in this novel gripped me in any way. I won't be picking up the second volume.

Lovely story book. It's not my type of reading but I appreciated very much the plot and the characters of this book. I recommend If you love fantasy books.

Thanks to Netgalley and WEBTOON for the E-Book ARC

Ok, I'll be honest, I requested this initially because I thought it was about Mortal Kombat ( I know, I'm showing my age), and after reading this I'm pretty sure that's not the case lol.

This one is for the ones who love romantasy, dragons, elemental magic, enemies to lovers, and marriage of convenience. Are you a Fourth Wing stan? This'll probably be your cup of traitor tea. I look
I look forward to getting my hands on a print edition eventually!

I think the reason for my three stars is totally subjective. I couldn't connect much with the illustrations and that meant I couldn't enjoy the story 100%.

The story itself is good, it's interesting, a little cliché perhaps but this is the first volume so there are sure to be great adventures and possible plot twists to come. I liked the characters, I feel that they are going to add a lot to this story and on top of that since it is an enemies to lovers, I wanted to read it.

As I said before, when I read a graphic novel or a manga I get very deep into the plot through the illustration and in this case I felt like it took me off axis.

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

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for this eARC. I read SubZero as a Webtoon and when I saw it would be coming out as a physical volume you can bet I RAN to request this arc. I love this story so much, the drama, the angst, the romance, it all had me on the edge of my seat. I ate this up, I sped through it so fast. If you love dragons, enemy to lovers, and court politics, this is for you. I cannot wait to have the physical copy in my hands so I can admire the beauty of Clove and Kyro in beautiful ink.

dragons?? SIGN ME UP! this book was so gripping, from start to finish, the stakes, marriage of convenience, the ‘power’ system and how the dragons play their role, all of it was so unique I was obsessed from the beginning, both characters are so intriguing, both keeping secrets from the other leaving a mysterious feeling for the reader, hailing from two different clans that are at war, the two main characters couldn’t be further from similar in any way, they’re so different and I can see how this clashing is going to continue in the future, the alliance holding over their heads making everyone on edge is definitely a playing factor into the dynamic and tension between the two characters which gives them such an indepth feeling to them! also, the art style is stunning, the attention to detail blew me away and I loved every part of it! overall, an amazing starting point for this story, I’m excited for vol 2 to come out, definitely going to be one of my most anticipated!

Very pretty art style and interesting storyline.
It quickly captured my attention and all I wanted to do was read the day away.
I Love the concept of human and dragon sharing bodies and having connections, and this author has written it very well.

Clove and Kyro would do anything for their kingdoms and to bring the 300 year war to an end (how did the kingdoms survive 300years of fighting?) but can they trust each other enough to make that happen and play the game of politics well enough to win?
I can’t wait to find out in the next book!

Beautiful artwork and colors. The story was intriguing and held my attention for the most part. I do think the art is stronger than the story/p[ot and characters. I loved the idea of an arranged marriage between two dragon shifters from two rival nations. I had a hard time getting invested in the two main romantic leads however. Interesting world building. Perhaps future volumes will flesh out the characters better and advance the plot.
the art is very lovely.

3,5 stars

my thanks to net galley and the publisher for this digital ARC. This is my honest opinion.

The artwork in this story is absolutely beautiful. I flew through volume 1 in just a day, the story had me completely hooked from the beginning. I love the tension between the MMC and MFC. They hate eachother so much and that leads to the best enemies to lovers story. I love the concept of dragons in the story, and how they can transform into them. Will definitely be reading volume 2.

The artwork is absolutely gorgeous throughout and is the saving grace of this series. Unfortunately, the story is slow and the main characters are either annoying or assholes. I can't really root for a forced romance with a murderous jerk.

I'm relatively new to manga but I have come across this one on Webtoon so I was really excited to get into the book. This story is really intriguing and it hooks you from the get go. What I love most about the story so far is that it does have romance but also political intrigue and some amount of drama. I'm glad this was made into a published manga and I can't wait to see where the story goes from here!

Thank you to Netgalley and Junepurrr for an advance copy of this in exchange for an honest review.

I was drawn to this straight away thanks to the gorgeous visuals and colours of the cover. This volume collects a number of chapters from the webtoon, which is one I haven't actually heard of before. I love that webtoons are starting to get a greater recognition now and are starting to get published more traditionally now.

Subzero is an interesting concept, mainly centreing on the upcoming arranged marriage between the two dragon vassals of rival counties - the intimidating red dragon prince, Kyro and our protagonist the passionate azure dragon, Princess Clove. The first volume focuses on Clove meeting Kyro and starting to get to grips with the tricky political situation she has landed herself in as an unwelcome addition to the court. I think the volume accurately showed the difficulty of Clove's position, mostly isolated in an enemy court and I liked how she rose to the occasion though-out.

Sadly, I wasn't hugely invested in either Clove or Kyro as characters and whilst we got some hints and foreshadowing of their potential romance and power struggles, I didn't finish the volume with enough intrigue to want to continue. I thought some of the side characters were quite colourful like Kyro's sister and the potential other love interest and they were welcome additions to the cast. Overall whilst I really liked the concept for this series, it just didn't quite work for me.

I went into this really excited but unfortunately it didn't meet my expectations. It felt all a bit cliche annoyingly. I love the main character and the comedy elements to the plot. I was also intrigued by the world-building and wanted more. But romance and the brooding love interest just fell short for me.

Clove and Kyro 😍 Junepurr’s art translated well from webtoons to print. Love this story and can’t wait to get my hands on it for my shelf. Thank you Netgalley and the publisher!

I initially heard about Subzero from a friend when it was initially released on Webtoon. The art is gorgeous throughout and it transitioned well from webcomic to print. This book is perfect for anyone who loves a enemies to lovers trope!
