Last year, the incredible Heroes & Villains Fan Fest conquered London for the very first time. As U.K. Correspondent for DC Comics News, and our sister site 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.
Here is the official press release:
Nashville, Tenn. – Heroes & Villains Fan Fest (HVFF), an event that is revolutionizing 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.
