as soon as i started the book and read the prologue i was hooked first off the art work is amazing! and the plot is sooo good it’s so intense but in a good way that makes you want more and more i finished in one sitting because it was so interesting i absolutely love the back and forth between kyro and clove and i can’t wait for what happens next

I was lucky enough to receive an eARC of this on NetGalley, and it did not disappoint!

The art style is so beautiful, I love the use of reds and blues to illustrate the two enemy clans in the series.

As for the plot, this is an enemies to lovers story with enemy royal families betrothing two young members to each other. Enter Clove and Kyro - these two have some serious chemistry and I cannot wait to see where this goes.

This was a fantastic start to a graphic novel with an interesting premise!

Firstly, I'd like to thank NetGalley, Oni Press, and Junepurr for the eARC of "SubZero" Vol. 1 in return for my honest review. I will be posting my review to Instagram closer to the pub date.

I am STUNNED. AWESTRUCK. MESMERIZED. Need I say more? I'm certainly not a Webtoon veteran, but I've scrolled it on various occassions. I've never clicked on this comic and I'm so disappointed that it took getting approved for the eARC of Vol. 1 to dive into it. It's beautifully written, beautifully illustrated, and it left me foaming at the mouth (is that gross?).

"SubZero" Vol 1. follows Princess Clove, who is the last living heir of her Cerulean Dragon Clan, as she ties herself to the elusive, feared, dangerous Prince Kyro. This is a marriage to broker peace, to end the centuries-long war that has plagued their lands, and to unite their people under one clan.

It's giving enemies-to-lovers. It's giving marriage of convenience. It's giving CRIMSON DRAGON DADDY.

I'm upset by the cliff hanger, but it certainly left me wanting more and I can't wait for Vol. 2!

This is a fun fantasy marriage of convenience/enemies to lovers graphic novel inspired by East Asian culture and palace dramas. This is only volume 1, so you primarily get a lot of setup for the worldbuilding and the tropes. I wasn't expecting a resolution, and I didn't get one - but absolutely fine for the first volume in a serial graphic novel story!

The art is beautiful, and there are plenty of mysterious allusions that will keep you guessing and coming back for more. This started as a Webtoon and looks like it will translate well to paper. Current fans will be happy - new readers will probably want the next installments right away!

This objective review is based on a complimentary copy of the novel.

Okay so I haven’t read a graphic novel since I was in middle school but this one stuck out to me on Netgalley. Firstly, thank you to @netgalley and @onipress for gifting me a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This was a really quick read, I finished it in less than two hours and really enjoyed the break from traditional reading. As someone who hasn’t read a graphic novel in a while, it did take some getting used to in which panel to go to next, but once you get in the swing of things it was smooth sailing.

I really enjoyed the artwork and thought it was beautifully illustrated. Everyone is extremely attractive which I feel is the norm for graphic novels but I wished there was more diversity in body styles and looks of the characters.

This is a marriage of convenience between two rival clans who are descended from dragons after generations of war. The marriage is meant to broker peace, but not everyone is accepting of the war being over.

Our MMC, Kyro, is reluctant about his upcoming nuptials and looks down upon our FMC Clove, thinking her weak and “just like the rest”. I will admit she was a bit timid for my liking but we get glimpses of the fire that burns underneath her skin. I’m eager to see her develop and flourish in the upcoming volumes.

I wasn’t expecting a love triangle which was a bit shocking to see, as I wanted our Enemies to Lovers to be the main focus and I hope that storyline dissipates as the volumes go on.

Not much happened in Volume One but I equate it to the first 10 chapters of a traditional novel. This book sets up the rest which is just fine with me!

Art style is gorgeous (everyone is model hot though).
I wasn't a fan of the main FMC - Clove is a little timid for me.
The dragons and enemies to lovers premise is interesting.
I'm not really a fan of love triangles though. Was hoping the dragon prince would be the only one.
The narrative flow is a little choppy but thats often the case with graphic novels/manga.
I wish more had happened in the first installment.

Loved this comic! Amazing story and beautiful illustrations. The artwork is stunning, the colors are so vivid. And who doesn't love a good romance with dragons? Can't wait to see where the story goes in the next one. Definitely recommend picking this up!
