photo feature | San Jose Heroes and Villains Fan Fest

BY LEE ANN JAENICKE

If you were near the San Jose Convention Center last weekend you might have come across some Superheroes. Last weekend’s Heroes and Villains Fan Fest invited some of the stars of the popular CW shows Arrow, The Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow as well as ABC’s Once Upon A Time and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy.

Be sure to tune into our latest podcast, PODSEEKER, to hear more about what went down at the Heroes and Villains Fan Fest. In the meantime, let out your inner comic book nerd with this massive photo feature!

While the star-studded panels were the main event, the most colorful parts happened between the lines when fans were able to show off their costumes and interact with their favorite actors. So before we get into our panel photos, here are a few of our favorite costumes:
