Heroes & Villains Fan Fest Is Back!

Article by Steve J. Ray

 Last year the incredible Heroes & Villains Fan Fest conquered London for the very first time. As U.K. Correspondent for and DC Comics and Dark Knight News, I had the honor and privilege of attending.
Over the weekend of May 26th and 27th 2018 this incredible family event will be returning to London’s famed Olympia, and we will be there to cover everything on both dates.
IT'S JUST ONE WEEK AWAY!
Here is the official press release:
Heroes & Villains Fan Fest (HVFF), an event that is revolutionising the fan experience and convention landscape, will be held at the Olympia London, May 26-27, in London.
Fan access to celebrity guests will be the primary focus of this event, which includes two days of immersive experiences and lasting memories.
 Heroes & Villains Fan Fest U.K. II – The Sequel
The list of fan favorites attending this year is nothing short of stellar!
Heroes & Villains Fan Fest is the brainchild of actor Stephen Amell and James Frazier, creator of the zombie and horror event Walker Stalker Con — has become an incredibly popular convention, offering something for everyone — from the diehard fan… to families… to those with a growing interest in the genre. More than 25 of the most popular actors from shows and films such as Arrow, DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow, Supergirl, The Flash, Gotham, and more will speak to the audience, meet with fans, pose for photos and sign autographs (see full list).
Attendees can also participate in a range of engaging and unique activities, including:
● Panel sessions led by stars from some of television’s most popular shows.
● Interactive “hero-style” games on the convention floor – fun for the ENTIRE family!
● Cosplayers roam the event floor, making for memorable interactive experiences.
● Vendors who deal in the comic and entertainment worlds – among many other genres and industries.
● Reality TV star and celebrity tattoo artist, Chris 51 (A&E’s Epic Ink), will be offering his acclaimed artistic talents to attendees on the con floor.
There are even a number of opportunities to become a volunteer at the event, which can be found on the Heroes & Villains website.
One of the most popular elements of Heroes & Villains Fan Fest is the chance to meet and hear from the stars of your favorite television shows. In London, attendees will be treated to sessions with:

Riches From Orazca - Daily Spoiler Commentary 31/12/17

Article by Adam Ray

FINALLY!
Well readers, Spoiler season has begun. Wizards teased us so heavily on the 19th with Vona's Hunger, but now we've finally seen the first of what Rivals of Ixalan has to offer. River Darter is, I think, intended for Draft, along the same lineage as Audacious Infiltrator. Thrashing Brontodon is also very good in Limited, being able to pop Pious Interdictions or Ixalan's Bindings, but may even see sideboard play in Dinosaur decks in Constructed to remove Cast Out, God Pharaoh's Gift or Gearhulks. 

Atzocan Seer is yet another ramp piece for the Naya Dinosaurs deck the fan base deserves, but the meta may not get just yet. I don't think the deck needs to be playing ramp pieces by turn 3. A nut draw for constructed dinosaurs sees the ramp elements at one and two mana. Kinjalli's Caller or Commune with Dinosaurs turn 1; Otepec Huntmaster or Drover of the Mighty turn 2; Ripjaw Raptor turn 3; Reggie turn 4, with a mana up so you can attack with …

Professor Elemental or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love Chap Hop

Article by Scott Hamilton
I was recommended the good Professor whilst trawling around Spotify looking for new artists to listen to. I spend a lot of time travelling to and from work each day, so I’m always looking for something new and different to listen to. This splendid chap certainly ended up ticking all of my geek boxes.
Professor Elemental is based in Brighton and trades in a very English take on Hip-Hop called Chap-Hop. The only way I can  describe him is a polite Eminem, raised by the Monty Python team in a comic written by Jules Verne and illustrated by Jack Kirby. It’s certainly a niche market.

The Professor character, a geeky explorer / inventor who loves to experiment and go on adventures with his orangutan butler Geoffrey, was originally intended for just one album (“Rebel Without Applause” released in 2009) and takes what can only be described as a very English take on a style normally associated with the USA. In fact, his first breakthrough was with the single “Cup of Brow…

World Exclusive Interview: Rob Lane - Talking Music, The Eighties and Videos.

Image
Interview by Scott Hamilton

Rob Lane provides the bottom end in Ryan Hamilton and the Traitors. Onstage he’s a blur of hair, throwing shapes with his trusty bass like a full on rock star. Away from the band, he heads up his own project Straight To Video, a mix of rock/punk music which draws influence from eighties culture in general, as well as creating some cool merchandise to go along with the music. Rob was cool enough to chat to us recently about music, the eighties and being a geek.

Scott Hamilton: Would you like to tell us a bit about yourself Rob?
Rob Lane: Hey Scott.... Thanks so much for reaching out! So, I guess I start with introducing myself.... my name's Rob Lane... a bass player from the East Midlands / Nottingham / Derby area. I've been actively playing with various bands for the best part of 20 years. For over ten years I was the bassist for Nottingham Power Pop Rockers TEENAGE CASKET COMPANY... we had a pretty good run from 2003 through to November of last year, …
