When it comes to Terrific Production LLC's Twitter feed written by Andrew Rev (and it is he, there is no imitating that style), you have a smorgasbord of delights. His Trumpian style tweets jump from flattery to insult and back within seconds, leaving wiser heads shaking – but everyone reading. Well, between 400 and 500 people on Twitter anyway.

But what to choose? There is so much – and Jude Terror has been showing us just how much. But he may have missed this one – easy to do I know – in which Andrew Rev seems to suggest he is willing to invest in failing comic book stores to keep them going.

He tweeted out…

ARE RETAILERS DYING? TERRIFIC PRODUCTION WILL HELP
Someone said a lot of retailers closed their stores in the last 6 months. Tweet if you lost a comic store in your area.

IF YOU ARE A RETAILER FACED WITH CLOSING YOUR STORE DM US AND WE WILL TRY TO SEE IF WE CAN HELP IN SOME WAY

Although when dealing with retailer concerns regarding his offers of advance payment for discounts on upcoming exclusive variant covers for Youngblood #1, he wasn't quite as sure as to what they were wanting…

I usually like to order based on information. Some small amount of solicitation, seeing who the writer and artist and creative team are. Seeing a look at the actual cover and some interior page previews. Things like that. Or I just give you money now with none of that?

I am a retailer (@SilverLiningCmx). I've been interacting with you and wanting any kind of information on anything you seem to be creating. I cannot order anything based on nothing. Especially a new publisher and company.

Maybe we'll find out more at New York Comic Con? After all Artists, Writers & Artisans Inc from Bill Jemas and Axel Alonso will be debuting there too.

Say, has anyone ever seen Andrew Rev and Bill Jemas in the same room together?
