Wanna see/enjoy/purchase/take home some awesome art by some hilarious local dudes?! Of course you do! Come out next Friday February 3rd at 7pm (that’s about whhttp://bravenewworldscomics.com/wp-admin/post-new.phpen they should be here) and learn just like us what the heck Hammy Sparkle is even about. It’ll be worth it…and heck buy something. These guys need some comic purchasing money!

Here’s the facebook event.

Lookit! It's Q!

To be honest Rob and I are freaking out about this.  John de Lancie is freakin’ Q for crying out loud! I mean seriously the Borg, Q, Holodeck and Lore episodes were the best ones on Next Gen! We both remember looking for John de Lancie’s name in the opening credits for any sort of hint of it being a badass episode (just like I did/still do with William B. Davis in the opening credits of X-Files). So when we were asked if we were willing to host a signing for Q himself while he was in Philadelphia we had to say YES!

Here’s the deal everyone!:Mr. de Lancie will be stopping by our Old City location on Saturday January 21st at 3pm (we’re not sure how long he’ll be here) signing autographs, for a fee of $25. I’m sure he’ll also be glad to answer all your unanswered/burning Multiplicity questions or maybe regale us with tales of time on the set with acting legends such as Patrick Stewart and LeVar Burton. This really is a huge honor, as well as huge surprise, for the crew here at BNW so be sure to take advantage of this (maybe make it a party a la Q himself)!

BE THERE!

At the request of many regular Warhammer 40K players our Willow Grove store will now be stocking the Malifaux miniatures game!  As described on the Wyrd Games’ website:

Trigger-happy gunslingers, misguided Victorian science, hungry undead, and monsters hidden in every shadow; these are the terrors that will plague you in Malifaux.  Are you willing to risk your soul for a chance at great wealth and power? Because it’s the only thing you have worth trading. In Malifaux, you lead your crew in the battle for control of The Breach, a dark portal to a world of limitless magic.

All aboard! Malifaux is the end of the line.

We will be stocking the rules manual as well as the box sets for each of the five main factions:

• Arcanists
• Guild
• Resurrectionists
• Neverborn
• Outcasts

If you would like to special order any specific figures, please stop by our Willow Grove store to place an order.  For more information on game play and characters, visit the games’ official website here.

The Sonic Generation Art Show  will be our featured art show for the month of December in our Old City gallery! This collection of super sweet art pays tribute to the 20th Anniversary of everyone’s favorite red shoe wearing, fox friend having, little animals captured and imprisoned in robots saving, evil doctor beating, loop-the-loop running, (chili dog loving)  blue speedy hedgehog: Sonic.  Artists from around the world have been sending in submissions so this is going to be one of our biggest and best shows to date! Be sure to get yourself down to Old City!

Sonic Generation Grand Opening (Official Show Site)

Friday December 2nd*

6-10pm

Old City

PS- This show could help you with your holiday shopping!

*(show up for the month of December)

Admittedly the location of our last screening was a bit off the beaten path and a lot of you couldn’t find the place or even get there ’cause it was a little out of the way…but in a super badass location…this time RESPECT FILMS and SEQUART FILMS have decided to go with a more accessible local. One with which the Philly Comic Nerd and Geek Scene should be (if not are very) acquainted- National Mechanics!

 Warren Ellis is a crazy awesome comics visionary (you should really read some of his work…seriously0 and on Sunday December 4th at 7pm at National Mechanics we will be screening Warren Ellis: Captured Ghosts (here’s the trailer) for a 21+ crowd. Tickets will be available at the door on the night but you can be sure to grab your ticket beforehand at BNW for the low low price of $7 (sold 1 just now as I was typing this up). So make sure you round up a posse, read up on your Transmet and Planetary, get yourself a case of Red Bull (Mr Ellis drinks a ton of that stuff btw) and make sure you don’t miss this screening!

Warren wont be there but he would do this to you if he was.

Who: Everyone cool will be there (‘cept Warren…he can’t make it)…also everyone will be 21+…whew no crying babies. Unless you tend to drink a bit too much and turn into a crying baby…but we wont go into that now…

What: For seven bucks you can see badass documentary called Warren Ellis: Captured Ghosts making it’s premiere in and playing only once in Philadelphia. So be there.

Where: Right around the corner from Brave New Worlds Old City where plenty of buses and trains will drop you off!

National Mechanics

22 South 3rd Street

Philadelphia, PA 19106

When: Sunday December 4th @ 7pm (BNW OC is open til 6 so swing by the shop and see Rob then head over for a bite to eat before the movie starts)

Why: Because it’s a movie about Warren Ellis and that National is superawesome with great food and there’s sweet sweet booze action.

How: Any darn way you can make it…oh you meant how much. I thought we covered that $7 (tickets available at the door or before the 4th at BNW)
