The Heroes and Villains Fan Fest emanated from the New Jersey Convention and Expo Center in Edison, NJ on September 8th and 9th, where the biggest stars from comics television and film were there and fans were able to pose for photos with them, get autographs, and take part in Q&A panel discussions. The fest heavily featured stars from DC’s TV Universe or “Arrow-verse” on The CW. Stars from Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, and more were there as well as stars from Fox’s Gotham.

The opening panel of the weekend was the Firestorm panel featuring the trio of actors who’ve portrayed the character: Victor Garber, Robbie Amell, and Franz Drameh. The stars talked about their superhero favorites, and took an array of questions from the eager crowd. And moderating the panel was my wife Athena (Olympus Athens) and myself Dan (Dr. Zaius) of Geeks Of Doom.

Check out the video of our moderating debut here below.

CW’s mounting DC TV Universe success continues on. With shows like Arrow and The Flash bringing in new heroes and villains, it was only a matter of time before the Universe expanded with their own show. The network’s latest superhero property is Legends of Tomorrow, with a brand new trailer introducing all sorts of new heroes and villains from past and present. If you’ve been following both shows religiously, then you will notice the appearance of Caity Lotz, who will sort of reprise her character from Arrow, only under a different color.

Check out the first trailer for DC’s Legends of Tomorrow below.

Artist Andy Trabbold took a shot at doing a redesign of Firestorm, the DC Comics superhero, and it is totally awesome.

For those of you that don’t follow Project Rooftop, it’s a place that showcases fan art redesigns of popular characters from all of pop culture. They’ve had contests on redesigning Wonder Woman, Invincible, and many other characters in the past, and while there aren’t any big contests going on right now, there a couple of gems here and there. And the Andy Trabbold redesign of Firestorm is one of those gems.
