Yesterday, Bleeding Cool reported on a contest announced by Andrew Rev's Terrific Production LLC, the company which bought the rights to Youngblood out from under Rob Liefeld, asking fans to send in designs for characters they created, with one to be chosen to fight Youngblood in an upcoming comic. However, by submitting to the contest, Terrific Production LLC would own the copyright and trademark to the characters. This didn't go over very well, and the contest was soon canceled.

Sadly, that prophecy was wrong. Oh, Jude Terror was right. For ten years. About everything. But nobody listened. And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
