** ''Deadbolt'' and ''Deadlock'' both feature a plot about supernatural creatures arriving on Earth, [[Ixia|demons]], [[Trooper|candle people]], a fire-themed [[patron]] god, and a currency called "[[souls]]", although it's important to note that all of these were present in ''Deadlock'' before Hopoo's involvement.
