I don't usually write about style problems here, but this one is an affront to linguists everywhere. Written on a Marvel.com post about the superhero team the New Warriors:

Who doesn't love a hero who gets their turbo-powered fan-suit accidentally at a costume party by accident and then goes on to be a pretty great hero in her own right?

It just hurts to hear that "accidentally by accident" garbage here. This is another one for the Department of Redundancy Department.

Update

I haven't posted anything in a few days due to a personal situation that should be resolved within a few days at the most. In the meanwhile, I have been reading Max Brooks' fantastic book World War Z and have noticed a few things already that I will be posting once I get the chance.

In other news, I found this on Marvel Comics editor Tom Brevoort's blog:
