Suitor Armor is one of my many favourite webcomics, so seeing its success has been wonderful! Volume 1 builds just the right amount of backstory and worldbuilding, particularly around our main character Lucia (I love her and would die for her). The art style of the story is fantastic, and oh so versatile. Every character has their own story, and following them along as their identities are established in volume 1 just makes me all the more excited for volume 2!

**ARC provided by NetGalley for honest review**

Suitor Armor, Vol. 1 by Purpah was a fun and interesting medieval fantasy graphic novel about a secret fairy named Lucia who is the lady's maid to the future queen and about all of the unique cast of characters around her, including an ensorcelled suit of armor that takes a liking to her. This volume also had a mysterious tilt to it as we were not yet told Lucia's backstory or what happened to her at the start of all of this. It was a light and quick read and I would be happy to continue once the next volume comes out. Recommend.

Fantastic! Immediately had to continue reading on WEBTOON.

Brilliant art work, colour palette and compostions some of the full page spreads feeling genuinely cinematic.

The characters do feel somewhat caricature but there is glimmers of the depth to come.

Initially, I fell in love with the artwork, but then I also fell absolutely head over heels for this story! I'm HOOKED on Modeus & Lucia's story and their character arcs. There's so many things working for this and I couldn't put it down! So much so, I read this first volume and immediately looked upu Suitor Armor on Webtoon to read more 😍 It hooked me! I read it digitally and went to go pick up a physical copy I enjoyed it so much. Can't wait to follow along with their story!

I've been eyeing this Webtoon comic since it first came out. After reading the first few episodes I knew I wanted to wait till there were more so I could really immerse myself in the story. Fast forward and I didn't return to it. When I saw that it was coming out in print, I knew this was the perfect time to dive in and fall in love with these characters. Fall in love I did. Lucia is a lovable main character. You are rooting for her from the very beginning and feel for her need to hide her secret. When she meets Modeus, it's so sweet to see them together. The cast of supporting characters really rounds out the world and give weight to the decisions and story. I can't wait to continue this story when the next book comes out!

I absolutely adore this book! I read it on webtoons and was so excited to see it was being published. The artwork is amazing and I love the story between Lucia, Modeus and Norrix. I highly recommend this book.

I enjoy this cozy fantasy series even more than I thought. Yes you can judge a book by its cover and not be disappointed if you choose this one.. great character development and I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

Thank you, NetGalley for the digital arc of this graphic novel..

A rather thrilling story is told in this graphic novel. It begins one night when a mysterious little girl is brought to the castle. The king takes them in, even though there is more to them than meets the eye. Years later this child is grown, and is tasked with preparing the princess for her upcoming wedding. One day a tournament comes to the kingdom, and the court mage creates something to give the knights a real challenge. Not only does it win, but it agrees to protect an important person. Over time a bond starts to develop, and somehow this armor starts doing some unexpected things. As this graphic novel nears the end, it is clear this tale is far from over.

A good start to a new and interesting series. I flew through volume one and look forward to reading on in volume 2.

I've loved Suitor Armor for quite a while. This story is so amazing, the characters well drawn, the plot so gripping and the art is gorgeous and unique. I'm delighted that it's going to be published! I hope it's a success.

This is going to sound generic, but this book was too cute! I loved the art style and the main characters were so sweet. I have already recommended this to several friends! I even liked the pacing, which is usually a little too quick for me in graphic novels. Overall, a very lovely and enjoyable read!
Thank you to NetGalley and Purpah 💜

This was a super cute graphic novel! We are following our main character, Lucia, who is hiding her true self while being the lady in waiting to the princess of the kingdom. While out to watch the knight tournaments, the kingdom's mage introduces an enchanted, metal suit of armor, that can beat even the best knight in the kingdom. Lucia takes a liking to the enchanted armor, and they strike up a friendship.

That's all you really need to know. The art style is cute and the story is interesting. I do wish it was a little longer, but I am excited to see what comes next.


Thank you to NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Lucia has been a lady-in-waiting for Kirsi since she was a young girl. However, Lucia is a fae, unbeknown to most folks around her. What she is may be the reason that Norrix's magically animated armor is attracted to her. The two of them seem to be growing on each other. Then there is the conflict between Norrix, the court magician, and Sir Baynard, the King's champion. Lucia has a lot on her plate and the game is just starting to get going. It will be interesting to see if Purpah can juggle all the events and personalities into an entertaining series. Waiting for volume 2.

Thanks Netgalley and Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press for the chance to read this title.

Obsessed. I loved this story. As soon I saw Modeus I was like ummm eye-catching red eyed metal suit, cute. Ekkk and when he gave the rose to Lucia, It was a swooning moment, a beginning to a love I can't wait to see blossom. It's also interesting how Lucia is keeping a secret about what she is from everyone. I definitely enjoyed this and can't wait to read what happens next.

Una storia d'amore diversa da tutte le altre. La nostra protagonista è un anima pura che riesce ad innamorarsi del nuovo esperimento del palazzo, un cavaliere invincibile. Ma lei nasconde un segreto, ben custodito da molto tempo, da lei e il padre.
La graphic novel è coloratissima, con tonalità delicate ma al tempo stesso accese. I disegni sono meravigliosi, i personaggi molto ben caratterizzati e delineati fin dalle prime apparizioni.
È un fumetto che comprerò volentieri! Un bellissimo primo volume.

5/5 Stars
Suitor Armor is a phenomenal cozy-fantasy romance with a slow-burn plot. We see our main characters grow respect for one another. Purpah's illustrations are absolutely gorgeous, and her storytelling is next level! I have followed this story since it was first published on Webtoon and am ecstatic that it is getting printed!
Our tale follows Lucia, a lady in waiting for the Princess Kirsi. She had dedicated her life to helping Kirsi prepare for her eventual wedding, to King Reimund. As the kingdom prepares for the upcoming nuptials, we are introduced to Modeus: an magically animated suit of armor, brought to life by Norrix, the Court Mage. We begin to see Lucia's story unfold as we learn about her biggest secret: She is a Fairy.

Thank you to Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this webcomic in exchange for an honest review!

I thought this story was so adorable and I’m hoping there is secretly someone in the Suit of Armor because I can see this being the start of such a lovely romance. I’m really curious why there is a divide when it comes to magic and faeries.

I love a good graphic novel

This was a delightful start to a fantasy graphic novel series. The characters are intriguing and the diverse plot points seem promising. The weird love triangle that’s forming is a weird choice though. I’m hoping the author will do something interesting and different with that.

Charming, fun, and a good read for many ages! I absolutely loved the illustrations and can't wait for future volumes!

Love this comic! the art is absolutely stunning and the story is so beautifully written. I remember reading this on webtoon ages ago and was so excited to get this ARC and be able to revisit this world!

So excited to see this be a physical comic!
