History YMMV / Covenant

* EvilIsSexy: If you don't mind some of their more eldritch traits, the demons can be quite attractive. Helped by the fact that they're naked in their true forms, giving the reader a good look at their toned, muscular bodies.

* AcceptableTargets: Religious fanatics and bigots. A minor enemy in the story is the Great Church, an exorcist organisation mainly consisting of small-minded jerks who accuse Providence of being demon-worshippers solely because their way of practicing christianity is not conventional.

** Sunny. He's been followed and attacked by demons his whole life and his family was murdered by them when he was little, an event that still gives him nightmares. He doesn't get a break in the present either, as hell keeps sending {{Mooks}} after him that often beat him black and blue in their attempt to subdue him. It's pretty understandable that he keeps people at arms-length.

* UncannyValley:
** Even when demons are in their human form there's still something... off about them. Their eyes are completely empty and they seem to be strangely detached from everything around them.
** Gabriel's human form is attractive, but there's this distinct supernatural aura about him that keeps him from actually coming off as human.

* WhatAnIdiot: Episode 12 has Sunny being attacked by a demon in his apartment. He manages to grab a sacred blade from his backpack and fend the demon off. \\
'''You'd Expect:''' Sunny to use the element of surprise and finish the demon off while it's still injured.\\
'''Instead:''' Sunny gives the demon a prolonged TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, giving it the opportunity to fully heal itself and regain composure.\\
'''As A Result:''' When Sunny ''finally'' attacks the demon for the second time, it is prepared and easly disarms him.

* EpilepticTrees: After the official reveal of the Demon Lord, a lot of readers theorized she might be Sunny's older sister Lily, who was somehow turned into a demon and wanted to reunite with her brother. Their designs look somewhat similar and the fact that her death was handled a lot more ambiguous than her mother's seemed to lend credence to the theory. Come episode 29, revealing that the demons were actually after ''her'', not Sunny when they attacked the Nguyen-family all those years ago, and the theory became pretty much mainstream.

* [[MagnificentBastard Magnificent Bitch]]: Esther, a nun of the Great Church. Assigned to Providence with her partner [[ScaryBlackMan Adina]] to keep an eye out for signs they switched sides, she at first seems like the TokenGoodTeammate. However, she then causes a patrol to go belly-up when she kills a contracted demon against Samson's orders, which causes his victim to die as well, effectively tanking Providence' and the Great Church's relationship. When her and Adina return to the Great Church to report to Bishop price, she lets Adina tell BlatantLies about their time in Providence to incriminate them, then expresses disgust for their tattoos and smirks at the thought of them being vanquished.

He doesn't get a break in the present either, as hell keeps sending {{Mooks}} after him that often beat him black and blue in their attempt to subdue him.

* WordOfGod: According to Vuong, Ezra is Korean, Sunny is Vietnamese and Samsons is (probably) white.

** Gabriel's form is attractive, but there's this distinct supernatural aura about him that keeps him from actually seeming human.

** Ezra. His family was killed by demons when he was only a small child, he suffers from huge self-esteem issues due to not being able to use his patron Gabriel's blessing that only worsen every time he fails to save a human. It's so bad he considers himself ''broken'' and thinks Gabriel should have chosen someone else.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Was Esther's murder of a demon in episode 10 really a reflexive reaction in self-defense, like she claims? A few episodes later, it's revealed that she hates Providence just as much as her fellow nun Adina and was just [[BitchInSheepsClothing acting nice to weedle information out of them]]. Add to that the fact that she doesn't mention that little faux pas of hers at all when her and Adina report to Bishop Price and instant lets Adina put emphasis on the fact that they were rejected and dismissed by Providence. Furthermore, Bishop Price states that the notion of Providence being a CorruptChurch came from ''her''. Is it possible she [[WillfullyWeak intentionally caused the mission to go poorly]] so Providence would slip up and give her the incentive she needed to convince Bishop Price they had to be taken down?

* {{Squick}}: The scene in episode 13 in which Sunny digs his fingers into a demon's open, bleeding knife wound and then breaks his arm. And almost right after that, he stabs it through the hand and into his [[EyesScream eye]].

'''As A Result:''' When Sunny ''finally'' attacks the demon for the second time, it is prepared and easly disarms him.

* LGBTFanbase: With the amount of ShipTease going on between Ezra and Sunny, Samson being implied to be a lesbian and the overall genderfluidity of the characters, the comic has amassed it's fair share of [=LGBTQ+=]-readers and fans.
* ViewerGenderConfusion: Unsurprisingly, a lot of readers were unsure whether Samson was a man or a woman at first, thanks to her butch appearance, haircut and name.
