3 Reasons to Attend Heroes & Villains Con Atlanta this weekend

By  | 
This Nice Girl is headed to her first Fan Fest this weekend in Atlanta. Heroes & Villains Fan Fest offers up a chance for enthusiasts to meet their favorite celebrities with exclusive panels and photo ops. My previous con experience includes attending the famous San Diego Comic Con and Atlanta’s very own, Dragon Con. After having explored those huge events, I wondered what it would be like to experience some of the different kinds of fan fest events that are growing at an amazing rate thanks to the rise in Geek Culture.


Here are my top three reasons to attend:

One word. Access. Access. Access.

Unlike con’s where attendees and press are all on equal ground, fan fest’s offer up a pay-for-play model. If you don’t like standing in line for hours on end without a guarantee of admittance to your ‘must see” panel, a fan fest has you covered. Attendees have a wide variety of ticket options to choose from based on the type of experience they wish to have. Prices range from a modest $35 for a Saturday-only pass to a $900 Platinum VIP which includes preferred seating, primo access to
guests and early admission.

Aquaman
  Panel

Jason Mamoa will take the main stage Sunday at 12:45 to talk about his starring role in the DC Comic’s classic Aquaman, set to debut in 2018. Jason gathered a huge fan following since his portrayal of Khal Drogo in HBO’s blockbuster series,
Game of Thrones.

Guardians of the Galaxy
  Panel

Saturday at 3:15 fans are treated with Guardian cast members Dave Bautista (Drax), Michael Rooker (Yondu), Gregg Henry (Grandpa) and Sean Gunn (Kraglin).
This panel should satiate your need for the randy-band of space heroes until the sequel comes out in May 2017.

Stars from other popular series will also be on site, including those from Once Upon a Time, Arrow, Gotham and The Flash.
 
Heroes & Villains Fan Fest Atlanta will be held at the Georgia World Congress Center on Saturday and Sunday, November 19 and 20.
