Donny Cates Shuts Down Official Zurich Chapter of Terrifically Legion
We've all heard by now about Terrific Production LLC, the new Youngblood publisher started by Andrew Rev that has been making a big splash with its Twitter antics though it has not yet solicited a single comic book. If you've followed along closely, you know that, in the spirit of the Merry Marvel Marching Society, Terrific Production has formed its own fan club, the Terrifically Legion.
One enterprising chapter of the Terrifically Legion, Terrifically Legion Outpost 87, based in Zurich, Switzerland, has (or had — more on that later) its own Twitter account as well and is (was) constantly tweeting support for Terrific. Like this:

But it was this Tweet that raised the hackles of global entertainment superstar, fashion icon, and former Bleeding Cool reporter, The Bad Boy of Comics Donny Cates, who has his own Thor comic coming out soon to compete with Terrific Productions LLC's version.

It seemed that Terrifically Legion Outpost 87 was experiencing a crisis of faith. Could Donny Cates be telling the truth? Cates continued…
They say that. But they've never announced a creative team.

What books? By who? And no, they aren't releasing any comics on January 1st. They would have had to solicit them months ago. https://t.co/lWh4cuVtYo

And it appears that Cates has made a difference. In a series of exchanges that we did not get to screencap, and so will have to fill in the responses from memory, Cates explained the process, causing the Terrifically Legion Outpost 87 to feel embarrassed.
Yeah, man. If you're real, you should know you're being lied to. They have no books, no creative teams, and no sales. They haven't "outsold" marvel. They haven't "outsold" anyone.

Terrifically Legion Outpost 87 asked Cates to confirm that his was the only Thor comic coming out.
Yeah. Mine is the only one.
— DONNY⚡️CATES (@Doncates) November 25, 2019
And they agreed to order that one and apologized for upsetting Cates.
You have not upset me at all. I just wanted you to know. I hope you enjoy my Thor comic.

And then they deleted their account, a huge blow against Terrific Production LLC, and seriously screwing up the flow of our article.
Thankfully for Terrific Production LLC, the other 86 Terrifically Legion outposts remain in operation as of this time as far as know.
The saga continues…
