Coming Soon!
Coming Soon! is the title to (usually) the last two pages of the comic.

The comic traditionally splits into different sections, on the last two pages. On the far left hand side of the left page there are is list of people who helped make the comic, then on the rest of the page there is the original artwork of what will be the front cover next issue.

On the other section of the right page would be a little box with the next and current Simpsons Comics Presents comics, and the next Futurama comic/ and ad for Simpsons Comics Digital.
