Industrial Strength Mistake

Nate, Nate... "Ramstein" is the place in Germany and the name of the base, "Rammstein" is the band.

Broken Tail

Holy crap, three posts in one month?!?!? Yeah, what can I say. This is something that sometimes happens to us letterers (well, it happens to me sometimes), but it's usualy caught at some point before the book is printed or otherwise published. To this letterer's (and editors, etc) credit, the lost balloon tail is white on stormtrooper armor, so it's not that easy to spot.

  

(From Star Wars: Purge - The Tyrant's First 2 of 2, letterer Michael Heisler.)

This is a job for... MacGyver!

The first typo was, well, passable off as a typo. The second one? Sorry, not even MacGyver can save you now, Mr. Zlotoff


(From MacGyver: Fugitive Gauntlet 03 of 05, writer Lee David Zlotoff.)

"Mutanism"? WHAT?

I guess, since he's a geneticist, you can call Charles Xavier a "biophysicist". But "mutanism"? Someone should tell writer Simon Spurrier (X-Men Legacy V2 #2) that's not a word.
