You can see just how awesome Forza Motorsport 7 looks on the new Xbox One X when you hop into their 18-wheeler to compete for premium prizes from Samsung and Xbox. See their website for more details and specs on Samsung’s new QLED TVs.

Famous Monsters of Filmland revealed the cover for their annual issue of Famous Monsters, an homage to 1935’s Bride of Frankenstein by artist Sanjulian. They also announced the design will be available at SDCC this year as one of Captain Company’s SDCC exclusive t-shirts, which you can pre-order through their website.

Artist Bill Maus announced this year’s SDCC will see the debut of Nira-X’s 25th Anniversary Edition at Committed Comics Small Press Table #P-10. You’ll also find the Famous Kat Maus signing and sketching at Table #HH-05 in Artists Alley.
