Oni Press has acquired print rights to a Webtoon title with three million subscribers and will release a print collection in September, the company announced. SubZero, which has 375 million reads on Webtoon, is by debut creator and ex-accountant Junepurr, who says of the property, “SubZero is a love letter to fantasy stories, palace dramas and romance, created as an escape during a very low period in my life.”
Oni Press Senior Editor Grace Scheipeter described the story. “Dragons, love triangles, danger, and magic combine in this action-packed romance fantasy graphic novel,” she said. “Kyro and Clove’s enemies-to-lovers romance edges on steamy in this first volume, with more romantic tension and encounters to come!”
The print volume, collecting episodes 0-25 of the webtoon and previously unpublished back matter material, will street September 25, 2024 with a new cover by Junepurr.
The webtoon has been paused for the past three months, but resumed with a new episode February 4.
