During a press room roundtable at San Diego Comic-Con International last weekend, a number of the creators and stars behind The Hub’s Dan Vs. spoke with reporters about the show. A series that’s animated half in Flash and half through traditional animation, it has a unique look to it and a small, dedicated fan base who rally behind big-name stars working on a fairly small budget show.Joining ComicBook.com and a handful of other reporters for a rapid-fire, roundtable conversation following the show’s Comic-Con panel and table read were Dave Foley, of The Kids in the Hall and NewsRadio fame; Tom Kenny, best known as the voice of Spongebob Squarepants but also currently appearing on Ultimate Spider-Man for Disney XD and Cartoon Network’s Green Lantern: The Animated Series as Dr. Octopus and Salakk, respectively; and Paget Brewster, most familiar to TV audiences as Emily Prentiss on Criminal Minds.Dan Vs. features Curtis Armstrong–who couldn’t make it to Comic-Con due to his filming schedule on another project–as Dan, an exaggerated version of show co-creator Dan Mandel. The character and his best friend Chris (voiced by Foley) go on a new mission of “revenge” each episode, usually overreacting to some perceived slight against Dan. The series was recently renewed for a third season, according to Brewster. That’s good for her, because the star has already left her “day job” on Criminal Minds, but she’s not particularly worried about being pursued by federal agents anytime soon.
