DeadEndia: The Watcher's Test

Product Information

Thank you TBRbeyondtours for this #gifted copy! I ate up The Watcher's Test and The Broken Halo in a day, which is saying something because I don't read that fast. Based on just that, you should get it. And not even because it's going to be a Netflix animated show. The trans, autism, and diversity rep in this is stunning. It's definitely everything I've ever wanted to read in my life. I'm glad I got to see it before I died. Alex Brightman as Pugsley, Barney's pug. As a result of being possessed by a demon king called Temeluchus, he can speak and possesses magical abilities. Kanter, Jane (2 July 2020).

Barney pursues his dream of becoming a wrestler and joins the Demon Wrestling Federation! Does he stand a chance against a burly demon king?

DeadEndia follows Barney, Norma and Pugsley, the employees of a haunted house attraction at a failing amusement park that might actually be a portal to hell. DeadEndia began as a series of web comics posted online by Steele. Later, these were reworked and published as books by Nobrow Press along with Steele's Pantheon, another comic series.

At times absolutely hilarious and completely heartfelt, and can seriously spin the reader on their head."- Joe Glass, Bleeding Cool DeadEndia is a series of graphic novels published by Nobrow Press. It follows the adventures of Barney and Norma, two humans who stumble upon the supernatural secrets of Dead End, an amusement park haunted house! Joining their adventures are Pugsley, a pug possessed by a demon king and Courtney, the guardian of the elevator to the 13 Planes of Existence! Barney's plot in this volume is essentially his plots from both seasons of the show in one: him dealing with his tendency to run away from difficult things and his wrestling arc. I thought the show actually handled this better, as by separating them, it gave more time to Barney's relationship with his family and the impact his trans identity had on that. It also let the wrestling plot in the show be more about Barney being comfortable in his own skin than just a method of him earning money like it is in this book. There are a lot more Logs & Barney moments in this version (as well as a love triangle with Az?!) and it was really sweet to see them spend time together as a couple. All these plot lines come to a head when Dead End hosts a DWF match - featuring none other than Barney vs. a Demon King. But not just any Demon King: Temeluchus's brother, Baal, along with their remaining siblings Paimon and Zagan. (You didn't forget about the coming war between angels and demons, did you?

Norma and Badyah investigate the case surrounding Jennifer Swan's disappearance. Norma believes Barborah Winslow ( Karen Maruyama), a stunt double who had a grudge with Pauline, is responsible. They are surprised to learn that a string of Pauline impersonators have all disappeared at one point but still work for the park. Meanwhile, Barney has a tense conversation with his family. They ask him to return home, but he refuses since they didn't defend him against his grandmother's transphobic comments. Barney and Norma head to the museum and finds Barborah disguised there as a custodian. She explains that she is looking for an insurance ad to prove who Pauline truly is. Pugsley uses his powers to show the ad on a TV, but the ghost of Pauline appears and tries to stop them. Barborah holds Pauline off as Barney, Norma, and Pugsley jump into the TV.

Barney accidentally leaves Pugsley on the train, bringing Pugsley to the underground section of the park. A new train arrives and a living mascot costume escapes from it and grabs an employee. Barney and Norma hide and look for Pugsley in the underground tunnels of the park. They find Pugsley leading more living mascot costumes to trains; before Pugsley can explain, they argue. The released mascots cause chaos to the guests in the park, until Norma realizes that the mascots aren't evil but are trying to fulfill their roles as mascots by meeting with guests. Barney apologizes to Pugsley and they lead a mascot parade before returning them underground. Norma asks Barney why he is sleeping over in the park, to which he explains that he is transgender and the park gives him an opportunity to make a fresh start. Courtney deduces that the part of Temeluchus's soul missing from the photograph is in Pugsley.
