Oni Press will crowdfund ‘Covenant: The Final Chapter,’ the final collection of LySandra Vuong’s hit webcomic

The sixth and final volume of the supernatural queer romance will launch for pre-order on Kickstarter Thursday.

Oni Press will launch a Kickstarter campaign for Covenant: The Final Chapter, the sixth volume of LySandra Vuong’s supernatural queer romance series, tomorrow.

The book will be available in stores in July 2027, but readers can reserve copies through the campaign next week. The popular Webtoon comic has had more than 20 million reads on the platform since it launched in 2020.

The series follows Sunny, a powerful exorcist with no faith in God, tasked with protecting a seemingly ordinary human from rising demonic forces.

Covenant is a supernatural action series about faith, family, and finding your place in a world that expects you to be something you’re not,” Vuong said. “At its heart, it follows Sunny and Ezra as they navigate Heaven and Hell while learning who they are — and who they want to be.”

‘Covenant’ will debut in print from Oni Press next year

Look for the first volume in stores next April.

Covenant, the popular Webtoon comic by LySandra Vuong, will come to print next year courtesy of Oni Press.

The webcomic has topped 21 million views on the site, and features a Catholic exorcist who has lost his faith and must protect a “seemingly normal” human from rising demonic forces.

“Covenant combines classic shounen manga tropes with fantasy Catholicism to tell an action-packed story in which angels talk to us and demons walk among us,” said Vuong. “Covenant is an unconventional comic. It’s supernatural, a little blasphemous, a little sexy and unapologetically queer.”
