Marvel goes mod at Dragon*Con!

I’m a total sucker for mod fashon (especially when mixed with a healthy dose of comic books), so I kind of freaked out when I came across this Mod Marvel group. These talented ladies gave some of Marvel’s finest a mod makeover at Dragon*Con, creating some incredibly cute and wearable looks!
