* ArchangelGabriel: Gabriel is Ezra's patron and the first angel he ever met. Sadly, Ezra was only able to wield his blessings once in the past and since then his conviction has become so lacking he can no longer activate it.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: Ezra doesn't believe in God, despite battling demons and being the ward of an archangel.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking:
** Father Aaron is the priest in charge of the Church of Providence and it's implied he's a strong enough fighter to defeat an entire squad of Great Church-exorcists.
** Averted with Bishop Price, who may talk a big game but is actually just a cowardly bigot hiding behind his churches forces when it looks like things are about to get violent.

* BanishingRitual: While demons can be killed through regular means (i.e. shooting them, stabbing them, etc.) it is unwise to do so when they're already contracted with a human, see SharedLifeMeter. The proper way to exorcise a demon is to knock them out or tie them up, then recite the proper rites. This will return their bodies to Gehenna and automatically sever the contract with their victim or victims.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Characters can get the ever-loving shit beaten out of them in this comic, but it will never have any lasting effect on their looks. [[spoiler: Even Sunny who gets thrown around like a ragdoll and choked to the point of almost fainting in one episode gets nothing more than a scratch on his face and some very easily consealable bruises afterwards.]]

->''"I believe in demons for I have seen them. I believe in angels for I know them. And though I cannot believe in God, I can believe in my purpose."''
-->--'''Ezra'''
Ezra is a young and talented exorcist with a problem: [[{{Irony}} He doesn't believe in God]]. And though it doesn't stop him from doing his job, it keeps him from unleashing his true potential.\\
\\
And things certainly aren't getting easier: With demonic forces stronger than ever before invading the Church of Providence' precinct, cryptic warnings of a war to come from Ezra's patron Gabriel and his sudden assignment to protect a seemingly normal human named Sunny, will Ezra find his conviction before it's too late?\\

!''Covenant'' provides examples of:
* ActionGirl: Any female exorcist is this by default, as their job consists of battling and expelling demons.
* ArmorpiercingQuestion: When Esther implies that the humans Ezra wants to protect are not worth saving due to not being devout followers of God, Ezra asks her if that means ''he's'' not worth saving too, since he doesn't believe in God.
* BadassPreacher: The exorcists are officially priests and nuns in their churches. And all of them are more than capable of kicking ass.
* BigGood: Father Aaron is the head of the Church of Providence and a very powerful exorcist.
* BodyHorror: Demons tend to warp the bodies of those they're possessing. It's not a pretty sight.
* ChurchMilitant: Both the Great Church and the Church of Providence train men and women to battle against demons.
* ClaimedByTheSupernatural:
** Demons feed of their victims via a "contract", a round mark etched into the victim's neck.
** Exorcists tattoo the mark of the angel whose blessing they wield onto their bodies with manna.
* DarkIsNotEvil: The members of the Church of Providence perform sinister-looking rituals to get their covenants and can come across as pretty intimidating, but they're firmly on the side of good and fight to protect innocent people from demons.
* FallenAngel: Demons in this world are angels that have fallen from grace and no longer receive manna from God. As a result, they need to feed off of humans to get more and keep themselves alive.
* GoodHurtsEvil: All exorcists fight with sacred weaponry, the only thing that can actually hurt a demon.
* GuardianAngel: Exorcists in the Church of Providence all have blessings bestowed upon them by an angel that give them their powers.
* {{Irony}}: Ezra is a priest and exorcist who doesn't actually believe in God. Despite frequently dealing with angels, who are His messengers, and expelling demons almost every day.
* TheLegionsOfHell: Demons exist in this world and they never get tired of terrorizing and attacking humans for their manna.
* LightIsNotGood: Demons have white skin with black patches as default. And so far, all of them have been characterized as evil, selfish predators.
* PowerTattoo: The exorcists in the Church of Providence get their powers by tattoos drawn with sacred ink.
* ProphetEyes: As mentioned in SupernaturalGoldEyes below. Seers all have golden pupils with black sclerae.

->''"I believe in demons for I have seen them. I believe in angels for I know them. And though I cannot believe in God, I can believe in my purpose."''
-->--'''Ezra'''
Ezra is a young and talented exorcist with a problem: [[{{Irony}} He doesn't believe in God]]. And though it doesn't stop him from doing his job, it keeps him from unleashing his true potential.\\
\\
And things certainly aren't getting easier: With demonic forces stronger than ever before invading the Church of Providence' precinct, cryptic warnings of a war to come from Ezra's patron Gabriel and his sudden assignment to protect a seemingly normal human named Sunny, will Ezra find his conviction before it's too late?\\
