On November 15, New Wave Comics will be in a new home at 4020 Skippack Pike, the corner of Mensch Road and Route 73. This new location provides much needed space, as well as a restroom 🙂 We’re planning (and praying!) that there will be no interruption of business hours during the move. Thank you to our landlords, Butch and Beth, for helping make our first 17 months in Skippack such a positive and fun experience — we’re going to miss you and all of our other awesome neighbors in the Victorian Carriage Shops!

Corporate Chaos Release Happy Hour!
PLEASE NOTE: Due to this special gaming event, our regularly scheduled Open Game Night will be cancelled for this week.
Calling all gamers and workaday-ers! Come and join us for the release party for Corporate Chaos, a new independent card game about the life of a corporate drone. You’ll be able to try the game out and buy it for a special price on Thursday, October 2. We’ll be celebrating the release with a Happy Hour-style (of course!) open house event with snacks and soft drinks from 5pm-8:30pm. Our friends from Country Creek Winery will also stop by later in the evening to do a tasting. We’ll also be giving away door prizes and a prize for the best Corporate Chaos cosplay (costumes are not required for the event, of course ). Register for the release by stopping in the shop, calling us at (610) 222-9200 or emailing us at info@newwavecomics.net.
About the game: In Corporate Chaos, you and your fellow ‘corporate drones’ struggle to keep your job. You also don’t want to get promoted or else you will become part of the soulless corporate machine. Try not to get too stressed out though or you’ll burn out.
Corporate Chaos was developed right here in Montgomery County by Sam and Tom Galindo, who are also New Wave regulars. C’mon out for a great time and to support these local creators!
