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.

If you are jonesing for a superhero fix a month before New York Comic-Con, have no fear, Heroes and Villains FanFest (HVFF) is returning to the Tri-State area next month. On September 8th and 9th, stars of some of your favorite comic book-inspired films and shows will pack the New Jersey Convention and Expo Center in Edison, NJ. You’ll get your chance to grab photo ops, get autographs, attend panel discussions and Q&As, and of course buy all the merch you can get your hands on.

Heroes and Villains FanFest has come and gone from the tri-state area (but plenty of tour left!), and now Stephen Amell and the HVFF organizers want some input. Noticing how much excitement was generated by the Walker Stalker cruise (of Walker Stalker Con fame), they want to know what fans think about a possible HVFF one.
