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.

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:

The Twilight Zone 60th Anniversary Bluray Boxset

Image
SUBMITTED FOR YOUR APPROVAL… The Twilight Zone , a television series that shows no signs of letting up, is still going strong 60 years since it first debuted on CBS in 1959.   Created by the already popular writer Rod Serling, the show became a series with an infinite lifespan. The Twilight Zone is now 60 years young and still has a massive appeal to those who love a bit of twisted, comedic, moralistic and, at times horrifying, science fiction.   I have been a fan of this show for many years, from the original to the latest version by Jordan Peele. It was probably in the 1980’s that I first came across this show and I was amazed.   Back then, just a teenager, I thought black and white shows were old and ‘fuddy duddy’ (as my kids would say nowadays).   That was until my late mam (who was always there when I found my love for various things as a youngster) turned on the tv and an episode of the TZ was showing.

Review: Marvel Action: Avengers: “Off The Clock”

“ Off The Clock “ Writer: Katie Cook Artist: Butch Mapa Color Artist: Protobunker Letterers: Christa Miesner and Valeria Lopez Review by Steve J. Ray Some of my favorite comics are those that honor and follow the style of movies and TV shows. Comics like  The Batman Adventures , for example. So, you can only Imagine my delight when a knock on my door resulted in my being handed the latest package from Penguin Random House. The box contained a copy of  Marvel Action: Avengers : “Off The Clock”. This gorgeous little trade paperback collects issues #1-#3 of  Marvel Action: Avengers , and is one of the most fun comics, both in terms of story and art, that I’ve read featuring these particular characters, in a long, long time. Synchronicity Strikes Again Recently I helped promote a couple of fan films which gave us a day, and a night, in the life of a superhero trying to get some time off. By some amazing quirk of fate, this book shows six Avengers (at first… ) trying to cope with some H.R.
