    Marvel Brings Con, Good Taste, To Standstill With Fashion Show

    Yes, I know that we showed you some of the best Comic-Con fan costumes yesterday, but that wasn't the only fashion parade during last week's nerdfest. Marvel Comics - never one to play down a marketing opportunity - held their own fashion show during the con, and we've got the pics to prove it under the jump.

    According to Marvel's Director of Merchandising, Damon Nee, the show brought the show to a standstill:
