Oni Press to publish Junepurrr’s Webtoon Smash Hit SubZero Vol. 1

Posted on by

Oni Press has announced the first ever print publication of the hit Webtoon SubZero by debut creator Junepurrr. With over 375 million reads on Webtoon and over three million subscribers, the romance fantasy epic is a smash hit on Webtoon and is now poised to engross a whole new readership in the beloved series’ print debut. Arriving in comic shops and bookstores everywhere this September, SubZero Vol. 1 will collect episodes 0–25 of the Webtoon and feature all-new, never-before-published back matter material.

To save her people, Princess Clove will have to do the unthinkable—marry her greatest enemy! Clove is the last remaining heir of her Cerulean Dragon clan, fighting in a seemingly endless 300-year-war against the vast Crimson Empire. With no end to the war in sight, Clove agrees to leave her sheltered homeland in favor of a political marriage with the heir to the enemy Crimson Dragon clan, Prince Kyro. 

Raised on the battlefields and feared by his rivals, the cutthroat prince is first to notice that Clove is hiding a dangerous secret she’s worked tirelessly to protect. As tensions rise between these unlikely allies, the fragile peace brokered by their marriage is threatened by those who wish to continue the war. Now fighting in the world of her enemies (and fighting a surprising attraction to Kyro), Clove discovers that achieving peace is far more dangerous than she could have ever imagined. 

SubZero Vol. 1 will be available in stores on September 25, 2024 and features a stunning new cover by Junepurrr for the series’ long-awaited print debut.
