From the creator of Netflix original series Dead End: Paranormal Park comes the graphic novel series that started it all!
Norma Khan has been split in two...literally! Dead End, the haunted hotel attraction at Phoenix Parks, has been rebuilt following the epic destruction that occurred there when Norma and her friends Barney and Pugsley saved the world. Unfortunately, Norma can't keep herself together as a result. Not only is her friendship with Barney on the rocks, but she can't seem to keep her own ghost inside her body. When Norma feels like she's about to lose it all, her irksome friend and demon, Courtney, steps in to provide some unexpected support - though they are battling their own issues with identity and sense of belonging.
Meanwhile, Barney can't face going back to Phoenix Parks and is mourning the loss of his beloved friend Pugsley. When his boyfriend, Logan, urges him to get a job, an opportunity from the demon planes comes knocking, and soon Barney is climbing the ladder of success in the Demon Wrestling Federation. Barney's glory in the ring quickly comes crashing down when the friends discover they've stepped into an eons old battle between the demons and the angels. Can they keep their relationships and sense of self intact while doing battle with the forces of good AND evil?
Part workplace comedy, part supernatural horror adventure, with a splash of LGBTQ+ romance, The Broken Halo is perfect for fans of author Hamish Steele's TV series Dead End: Paranormal Park who are in search of more adventures, for graphic novel lovers who want more diversity in their reads, or for anyone who has finished The Watcher's Test and is ready for the next entry in the zany, creative, and laugh-out-loud funny world of DeadEndia.
