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:

Mystic Muses: A D&D Podcast

Article by Philip Clark An all queer cast. An all femme ensemble. A non-binary Dungeon Master. Throw in some quality story-telling and role playing too, this sounds like a whole lot of fun! If any of the previously mentioned things has piqued your interests, then I implore you to check out Mystic Muses. You can find this wonderfully crafted podcast where you can find all your other favourites including Spotify. There are currently four episodes out.

Fantastic Universes Interview: Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz From 'The Walking Dead'

Interview panel led by Steve J. Ray, with a gathering of Comic/TV Media Journalists. I've spoken to some amazing people over the last couple of years; writers, artists, costume designers, and actors from some of my favorite TV shows. It's no secret that I'm a huge comic-book fan, and one of the TV series that's based on and inspired by a comics title - but has gone on to be so much more - is The Walking Dead . At a recent Comic-Con in London, I had the great opportunity of leading a panel where some fellow journalists and I spoke with Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz, three siblings who played Sophia and both iterations of Henry on the show. The eldest, Madison Lintz (born 1999) played Sophia Peletier - Carol's daughter - in the first two seasons. She's also well known for playing Maddie Bosch in the Amazon series Bosch . She started acting at the age of six, filming commercials and voice-overs. Matthew (born 2001) took over the role of Henry from ...
