What It’s About It’s the Cold War and paranoia has outlawed Golden Age costumed heroes. But from the ashes emerges new stalwarts fighting for truth and justice as the seeds are planted for a new breed of hero and the legendary Justice League of America.

Watch the Movie DC Animated made a direct-to-dvd version adaptation titled Justice League: New Frontier released in 2008. Bruce Timm and Darwyn Cooke both served as producers. Terrific companion for the book.

So we were thinking to ourselves the other day, we said “self, what is Brave New Worlds Willow Grove missing?” And that’s when it hit us, like a old man trying to return soup at the deli – more Magic. Jump for all the details.

In an effort to make everyday a Magic day at Brave New Worlds Willow Grove, starting on Wednesday, June 30, BNW WG will be hosting Wednesday Night Magic every week.
